I read your article. it is very good. Actually i am a tamilan from southern tamil nadu. there is no river like cauvery in our place. So we work hard to do agricultural activities. In olden days, due to lack of technology no dams constructed acroos cauvery river in karantaka. So plenty of water is avilable in cavery basin. So farmers form cavery basin of TN worked less and become lazy. there is no pond,lake,dam is constructed. Now due to technology development, dams are constructed across cavery river in karantaka.Ka invested crores of money in dams. they want the benfit of it. Ka releasing ENOUGH water to TN. but TN famers are not efficienly using the water. the water is wasted. there is no dam,lake to store it. Since they are lazy(in olden tamil poems, about TN cauvery basin famers not bending the body to stop/open the water in small canel. they are that much lazy people) they are not effieciently using the water and blaming KA. As a human being, cauvery is common to TN &KA. Ka should construct more dams and increase the agricultural land. TN has to construct more lakes to store water instead of blaming KA. KA should release only excess water to TN after KA use. TN(cauvery basin) is simply wasting water since they are lazy. For more clarfictaion, see TN cavery basin maps , there is no water storage body like lakes....
Dont drag telugu or other ppl here (Of course they have JAI TELUNGANA issue right now). The issue is water sharing and TN n KTA are main parties. Why s..t drag others? If the KTA extreme elements give tamils the first preferance only they have to face it by their own.
Even shi..y achuthanandan is a regionalistic fox where as mallus throng all over india to live silent but wont allow 'others' even to start a petty shop in their own state.
This is the fact! Beware of all lingusitic elements and eveybody are on their own to take measures for themselves.
From where can w give this much of water to TN?192TmcFt to be measured at BiliGundlu(as against to 205tmcFt was measured at Mettur dam-Interim report) is nothing but OLD WINE in NEW BOTTLE.even in Interim report at Biligundlu water measured was 190tmcFt.Bangalore,Mysore gets cauvery water for drinking purpose.It is growing population in Bangalore.Mandya,Mysore,Chamarajanagar needs cauvery water for irrigation purpose.Both for drinking/irrigation 270tmcFt is insufficient for Karnataka State.Also Cauvery Basin TN farmers can grow both SAMBA,KURUVAI crops.But Karnataka formers have to forget their2n Crop.Is it not a injustice for karnataka?Why did TN is not taking on amount of cauvery water goes into sea?Cont they not utilise the same by constructing small check dam across River Cauvery in Ramnad District?Tn-Politician plz stop killing karnataka formers,they too are humanbeing like u.Dont forget Karnataka had released KRISHNA water for CHENNAI CITY DRINKING PURPOSE in the past,on the contrary u had objected cauvery Drinking water project for Bangalore.Plz think Big.
Tamils has more right over Cauvery because of the following historical facts.
1. Karnataka people doesn't know about agriculture, irrigation etc. We Tamils went there and teached all these technics to them.
2. 2000 year before iteself we built the Kallanni Dam in Cauvery near Trichy for paddy cultivation, at that time there were no paddy cultivation happened in Cauvery, Kannadigas came here to TN and learnt all these paddy cultivation technics from TN farmers.
3. If TN stops Neyveli Lignite power to Karnataka, then the Bangalore and half of the Karnataka will become dark in overnight.
We the people gave the knowledge of agriculture and light to the IT of Karnataka.
So Karnataka is not doing any favour by releasing Cauvery water, its their duty to do so and its Tamil's Right.

I agree with Shiva. This is some bst Northie (or some Congress-fellow) trying to fish in troubled waters. No real Tamilian can hate KN so much.

I donot agree to your points.
The sharing of rivers should be purely based on scientific method. Do you know that karnataka has more arid region after rajasthan. Which fool told that TN went and teached all these technics. I don't have the history details other wise I would have argued towards it
Regarding the electricity - Do you know that Karanataka is the first so start electricity in the country. I don't think we are entirely depenedent on your state for electricity which is a aritifical way of producing electricity (Not hydro) which can be setup any where.
Karnataka lighted the entire nation by being the first in producing the electricity.
The verdict has finally said the truth. Most of Karnataka cultivates is chillies (2nd largest in India next only to Rajastan) and Ragi and certain other crops which basically consumes only less water. Whereas Tamil Nadu cultivates lots of varieties of rice crops and many other crops which requires consumes large quantities of water. Hence its only logical for them to get their required share. Karnataka farmers must stop feeing jealous of this situation.
RE:Verdict is very true!

Chillies & Ragi are grown only in dry belt that is in north Karnataka and AP Border. Your understanding is totally wrong, in Cavery basin they grow only rice & sugar cane and mainly the water is also used for Domestic purpose.
ITS NOT QUESTION OF JEALOUS... ITS ALL POLITICAL GIMMICK..
Some foolish people say is not final. So we oppose this verdict. They are not given justice to both states. They dont know what is meaning water is precious both states. We should oppose this verdict. They are known both states farmer feelings. I think it is unfair verdict. This is political gimmic. I am asking directly to justice why did you take long duration to give verdict.
The tact and leadership quality shown by Karnatak CM Mr Kumaraswami is highly appriciable. In his difficult situation he is able to keep Bangalore and Karnataka a peaceful place. As a true statsman he has not played with the sentiment of the people, no politics but a shown great administrative power. Most of the establishment has been closed because of fear psychosis of Interim award and Rajkumar's death.

Do not be so happy. There is Congress always waiting to create troubles. Remember the violence when Rajkumar dies and recent communal disturbances?

Kumaraswamy has acted very intelligently and responsibly unlike Bangarappa and Krishna. It is the congress to be blamed for all the confusion and habbit of dividing brothers! P.S: I am a Tamilian but Kannadiga by marriage

We believe that you are handling the situation better than Mr.Kumaraswamy. Otherwise there would have been a fight between husband and wife over the Kaveri water. Keep it up.
Dear countrymen... It is time we combine our strength rather than waste our energy through inter-state disputes, mostly promoted by petty politicians for their own selfish ends. The leaders should in all the concerned states should direct their technocrats to sit down and chalk out an annual programme/ form a steering group for sharing the water on the guidelines stipulated by the tribunal. There should be an end to this dispute and we must move on with fast developments witnessed in India. Long live our unity VJ
you write a lot of rubbish. I am Telugu and lived in TN and loved it. People are really friendly and have never imposed their language on me. They dont like me to impose my language on them either, which is understandable. The people in TN are so hospitable, it is known all over the world. I love TN just like how much I love AP.
I think from Y'day to today it is more clear.. Karnataka has to release only 192 TMCs of water..Where as the interim ordered Karnataka to release 205 TMC of water which KN did last year.. So Infact Karnataka will be saving atleast 13 TMC s of water.. 2ndly all water in Cauvery is not originated in KN similar to Godavari in AP(Which i know better coz i am from AP) out 470 190 they get from KN rest of the water is collected with in TN state only.. I haven't read full text so i am not sure...only one thing what happens if in a particular year Cauvery doesn't have 740 TMC? I think they might have addressed ...if one know pl let me know..one thing for sure ...B'Lore is most beautiful city and Face of indian IT no doubt it...and karnataka is most multi culture and multi linguival state in india ...make no mistake no body has any thing aganist karnataka ..let us accept the judgment as it is till KN Govt takes further action..let us not develop hatism ....MERA BHARATH MAHAAN

In deficit years, all state's share will be deducted proportionally. So TN will take a bigger hit because its share is bigger. We might quibble about the numbers, but clearly, the intent of the judgement is fair. I hope the CMs can meet and come up with final numbers in the spirit of give and take instead of indulging in any more political brikmanship.
In this regard, I have great hopes of Mr. Kumarasamy and Mr. Karunanidhi. They both seem much more mature leaders than Ms. Jayalalitha and Mr. SM Krishna.
