See to respond to this question is rather difficult, when it comes to the core essence of the matter. but indeed as we progress as a technocratic society we are indeed thoroughly ignoring nature and the recent calamities like tsunamis and earthquakes speak volumes about it. the current environmental issues, I believe are leading to the end of something and the beginning of something new. As is said in our religious scriptures that the "Kalyug" will come to an end and the "Satyayug" will start again. So, i guess its symbolic that after our society and world get saturated with advancements there comes a breakdown which is followed by a new beginning. to get back to the point the melting of the Himalayan glaciers will have a great impact on society which in turn will obviously affect the economic and political aspects of our country. shortage of water supply, more droughts, etc will obviously put us and the entire Hindu civilization in grave danger.

If The point is on India's cultural than undoubtedly one can say the impact is adverse, because India's very basis of socio-political and economical activity is influenced by its culture, this is the first aspect. The second aspect is, worlds largest plain Ganges basin is producing India's 1/3rd food. More than worlds 1/30th population depends on the water which comes from Himalayan glaciers. worlds third largest religion 'Hindu' will severely affected. How the oldest known Indus velly civilization was lost to the time we donot know, but i can say firmly that, the future generation of an oldest civilisation will lost forever if Himalayan glaciers melted down.

It is just a speculation and the reports on this or mostly are referring only few glaciers and not all. "WWF report with the 2035 date was “grey literature” [material not published in a peer-reviewed journal]. But it was never picked up by any of the authors in our working group, nor by any of the more than 500 external reviewers, by the governments to which it was sent, or by the final IPCC review editors."
