Research Fellow, IDSA, Dr Uttam Sinha was quoted in Times of India’s article ‘Chinese whispers in North East’, published on January 14, 2012.
Says water security expert and research fellow at the Institute of Defense Studies and Analysis in Delhi, Uttam Kumar Sinha, “China’s covert support to the protests against big dams in Arunachal Pradesh is a clever way of sending a message to India that the concerns it is voicing as a lower riparian state against construction of mega dams on the Brahmaputra in China are the very same that the protestors in Assam are raising. ”
