Competition was closer and the playing field more level in the regions section of fDi%u2019s contest, with the Indian state of Tamil Nadu edging ahead of Australia%u2019s New South Wales to claim the title Asian Region of the Future 2005/06. Tamil Nadu took first place in the all-important category of best FDI potential.
As investors such as Ford, Hyundai, Nokia and, most recently, BMW have discovered to their delight, Tamil Nadu has managed to avoid or mitigate problems that dog other locations in India, such as infrastructure and energy failings. Through pro-active and business friendly government policies, the state has harmonious industrial relations, a matured business culture and abundant skilled manpower.
Things should only get better: several new fly-overs and by-passes are under construction that will ease traffic congestion in heaving Chennai, and an %u2018IT Expressway%u2019 project will widen the main access road to that city%u2019s thriving software cluster. This hints at Tamil Nadu%u2019s real secret weapon: Chennai%u2019s IT corridor employs nearly 50,000 people, and this number is set to increase to as much as 90,000 when some of the major IT companies investing there get their operations up and running.

seenu, (i wouldn't dare to address you dear!) thanks for being stupid..... are u meaning to really say.. please give water to TN( anyway who cares what u say!!!)? Or are u being just naive in being unable to put up a good argument. so u realize that probably the peolple of TN require the water for lots of purposes ( including washing their rears!!) and also subconsciously accept this fact. But with your immense folly blindfolding your judgment all you end up is putting forth your dirty ideas and deep frustrations like umpteen other 'great' bangaloreans. If a tamil is proud of his culture let him be, so whats are your problem. are you not proud of your culture? if so why all this? if you can't say something sensible atleast shut up and let others wonder if you are stupid rather than prove them right right away.

RE:RE:RE:ASIAN REGION OF THE FUTURE:

Amar Kumar, the word 'Kumar' itself a pure ancient Tamil word, meaning is 'youth fellow', The tamil good Murugans another name is Kumar.
In Kannada also has the same meaning, it went to kannda from Tamil.
So please change your name as it is in stinking Tamil(according to you).
Any "water sharing" solution to the Cauvery dispute among the southern peninsula states will always appear unfair to one or more states involved. Politicians are playing to their constituents and stirring up emotions by projecting the tribunal award as a victory for one and as an injustice to the others. Instead, the focus should have been on "water management" to bridge the availability and demand.
During the SW and NE monsoon months, is there no discharge of excess water into the Bay of Bengal? In the 17 years that the Cauvery Water Dispute Tribunal has been deliberating on this issue, many small reservoirs could have been built in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu to store this excess discharge and improve availability.
Why are water requirements being projected for 2-3 yields per year of water intensive crops like paddy and sugarcane? Agriculture experts could have been consulted on crop selection and crop patterns to optimize water needs for cultivation, while preserving farmer incomes.
The irony is that the further downstream you go along the Cauvery, the greater is the demand being placed on the river which has led to this untenable situation today. Take the case of the average farmer in Kodagu district where the Cauvery originates. There is no irrigation scheme for farmers here, and they rely directly on the monsoon rains. They have learned to be happy by raising just 1 crop/year. But as you go further downstream to other districts in Karnataka state, farmers are not happy with growing even 2 crops/year and want more water for irrigation. Next, there is the case of Bangalore. The city's unbridled growth in the last decade has placed a severe strain on all infrastructure, not just water resources. Tanks and lakes have been drained and converted to sites for property development. This has badly affected aquifer recharge and ground water levels in the area. And finally, when you go further downstream to the districts in Tamil Nadu, farmers want water to grow 3 crops/year! Why are these unreasonable demands being placed on the Cauvery?
There must be an integrated water management plan for the sustainable existence of all people living in the Cauvery basin area. Unfortunately there is no political vision, pragmatism, or statesmanship in India today to make this happen.

Gnl Cariappa and Thimmiah are Coorgis, whose language is closer to Tamil than Kannada. Raja Ramanna and Kasturi Rangan are Iynegars who speak tamil at home. The largest IT head honcho (Ramadorai) is Tamilian. Speaking of which, Infy CEO Nilekani is a Konkani. Wipro chief Premji possibly can't say more than beda, beku in Kannada. Many IT CEO's and senior honchos in Bangalore are Tamilian/ Northie. Most IISc scientists / profs are migrants from other parts of India. Kannadigas are a small minority even among the IISc students. Many other Kanndaiga celebrities you did not mention are also of varied stock: Tulu speaking (Aishwarya rai, Prakash Raj), Marathi speaking (Bhimsen Joshi and many other musicians), Tamil speaking (Masti, AK Ramanujan and many literateurs), Telegu speaking (M. Visvesvarayya), and so on.
If your definition of Kannadiga includes all those living in Karnataka at any time, then that's really great, and I truely appreciate it. But I doubt if many of them, especially the successful lot in Today's booming Bangalore, can speak Kannada.
Tamilians are one of the most globalized community, you find them in most every country living peacefully in their adopted homes. Them not learning the local language is an incorrect statement from an ill-informed person.

Girish, Who said Konkanis, Coorgis and Iyengars are not Kannadigas? There are so many Iyengars in K'taka who speak mostly Kannada and the Tamil spoken is iyengari tamil which no tamilian can understand becoz it has 97% kannada, 2% tamil and 1% iyengari language. The iyengars have been in K'taka from 1053 AD much before the lingustic states were formed. Samething goes for Sir MV. He is a Mulkanadu brahmin. Mulakanadu telugu dialect is different from the telugu spoken in AP and has mostly Kannada words in it. These communities have been here for 100s of years. People in the border with M'rashtra speak both lang, hence Bhimsen Joshi speaks both. Looks like you have not interacted with these communities and have no understanding of the cultural fabric of K'taka.
Will you accept the fact that MGR is not a tamil, he is a malayali from colombo; jayalalitha is a mysore iyengar; vaiko is telugu kamma;rajini is a marati from bangalore; khushboo is a northie;the list can go on.

Dear Amar,
I am not sure if you know about what Kamaraj and M G R had done in Tamil Nadu.
How Urs period is the golden period in Karnataka, Kamaraj's rule was the golden period in Tamil Nadu. Both were great thinkers beyong silly thoughts and they prescribed equality of the rich and poor to get education. Let us praise each other and say how good WE ARE. If I were the CM of the state on either side, I would have sat down and gone down to the drawing board to have an excellent irrigation system where the water spreads out to multiple areas and have the cultivation based on drip system which shall give more land with the current supply of water.. Hope you will also appreciate it.
