Dr. Imran Khurshid’s article, “China’s Ecological Assault on the Himalayas: How Its Infrastructure Push is Putting South Asia at Risk,” published in Indian Narrative on 15 September 2026, examines the environmental, geological, and strategic risks posed by China’s expanding infrastructure projects across the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau. It argues that large-scale dams and other development projects, particularly the proposed Brahmaputra mega-dam, raise serious concerns for downstream countries, including India. The article highlights the fragile ecology of the region, seismic risks, and the lack of transparency surrounding China’s environmental assessments and infrastructure plans. It calls for greater scrutiny and transparency to ensure that strategic and technological ambitions do not come at the expense of ecological sustainability and regional stability.
