India's blatant disregard for the people of Bangladesh right of access to water is denying their very basic human rights. Flooding Bangladesh during the Monsoon season and then allowing the drying up of rivers during the hot seasons, not only KILLS people but also causes great economic losses for Bangladesh. India should be forced to work with Bangladesh's Joint River Commission (JRC) to create a solution that would work for both sides of the border. Developed countries such as the United States would never tolerate this type of behavior from a neighboring country. Bangladesh is a friend to the United States, so we shouldn't turn our backs on them.
