Hi, How many people really understand the issue clearly, people who oppose and support the Cauvery Verdict. i don't what the cable operators understood, they stopped all the tamil channels . I feel very funny, when such things happen...In gujrat, they don't screen movies which is certified by Inidan Censor Board. we are not living in a modern age, we dressed up and speaking good english, eating good food and running back to STONE AGE, I am scared what kinda of an India we going to leave for our kids. Everyone must think about this.

correct !! we really are in stone age. Thats the reason why people in tn protested and created nuisance abt the khushboo statement. really we need to think what kind of india our kids will inherit.
Don't comment if you don't know exact situation.Do you agree if Karnataka receives less water than Tamilnadu although tamilnadu is having good underground water level. Please for God sake don't make these harsh comments on Kannadigas. Nobody wants quarrel with neighbours,its are all happening due to bad politics. Please understand the truth.

I do man. Thnx for being polite. I am just surprised why so much of Halla gulla for something we do not have any control over? If next year it doesnt rain cauvery may go dry. Then tamilnadu is a bigger loser. So see the half glass full and work harder to achiev something concrete. Thats the point I wanted to make.

Grow up buddy(Rajneesh)...Donot generalize based on a few particular cases..it's gud for u it's gud for others..did I say stupid ??
I wonder what these protestors would say if China blocks the mouth of the Brahmaputra and the Ganges. Natural resources should be shared. Karnataka is clearly at fault here by holding the natural flow of the river. Anyway, Krnataka prides itself on technology and enterpreneurism. Why doesn't it create systems that would use a part of the sea water on its west coast?

When there was plenty of sea water during Tsunami in Chennai and parts of TN why didnt they store it and use the same?

China blocking the mouth of Brahmaputra and Ganga? Well, China will certainly do that if they needed that water. Even now, I am sure as hell that China is using every bit of what they want and then only the rest is flowing into India, Bangladesh etc.,. Wonder what China will say if we ask them to stop using those waters. And the reason those waters flow into india is because you cant grow paddy and sugarcane in the Himalayas!!
If you want to use analogies, use sensible analogies. Why are you hell bent on making a fool of yourself.
Inspite of all the recent hue and cry over the decision of the tribual, the day when water actually gets released will never happen. In a few months, everything will be back to square one , with everyone going about their own work and counter appeals being placed before supreme court. The main ppl affected are as some one pointed out, the farmers and the ppl who have been affected by bandhs in karnataka in the last 3-4 days.
This is nothing but nonsense act of Central Government to stay in power and to oblige Karunanidhi. Bloody hell to Soz. Get lost your government and favourtism.

Certainly.Its real ugly politics at the centre where the incumbent govt always tries to please the supporting smaller parties rather than taking non-partisan stand in the sensitive issue such as this cuavery water dispute.Its the trait of the congress central govt which has been delivering injustice to non congress ruled states.Alas such people unfortunately thrive well these days.

Sir...You should not forget that they Cauvery Tribunal is not a hand of Central Govt. This mucg amt of water is what you owe to Tamil Nadu according to the Riperian rights...Dont forget that!

You are right in saying that this is utter non-sense act of central govt and our politicians, one more thing is they are really playing with peace loving Karnataka people, we should also do peaceful protest against it rather than just sending messages

Dude, This tribunal has been going for 15 yrs..... There where many goverments that been ruling the state/central in tht time... I am pretty much sure the verdict is not to please any one.... Take Care, nsuresh_rasr

Yes they have taken a long journey through time and returned to a point where they left 15 yrs back.Y did they take so much time for this.
DESPERATE 85% of people in India are desperate working slaves in an informal economy and their lives oscillate between fear and frustration.
EVEN MORE DESPERATE The remaining High Net Worth Individuals in India are always in search of collusion mostly in the form of caste to enhance their wealth.
Afterall, tribunal awarded only considering and analysing all the information and which is like a judgement and not a single person or politician policy. When a party got judgement against his wishes, should he say the verdict is not right..?
It is unfair to allocate the water that too a lesser part to the state where it originates. Rules, Laws and Regulations are created by man and they should not take away the birth rights. In our country we have freedom to talk, write and many more activities but not to use the water for our requirement in our own state. I am a Tamilian living in Karnataka from my childhood days. I can well understand the pain of each of us in Karnataka. Friends please understand that here there is no difference between Tamilian or Kannadiga. We all are united in facing this situation.
We should do whatever appropriate actions required to get our share of water. We have proved to the nation that though we are deprived of our share of water, we behaved well with humanity during this hour of crisis.
Then learn the laws...The Law says that the the state in which the river merges with sea has more rights than where it originates. If you know the distress of people in Karnataka, then try to learn the distress and miseries of TN...

From where you got this law, Internation water control law says that river water should be used by the locals where it originates and left-over should be provided to others, please don't teach us law.

Srivatsan , so, if you are talking about international laws... please read it fully and understand.. it clearly says that the state(counry) which contributes more to the river or lake will have more.. that is how Niagara was shared by US and canada.

If no one objected or questioned the very reason of a tribunal being formed, then it is also equally important for all of us to abide by it's verdict. This is not against any state government or its leaders but for the good of the people and the people who suffer. It would be fair to debate about the verdict but unfair to judge sitting far away from the hot seat.

Dear Brother. Its not the question of where the river is originating and its not a rule that the state where the river originates should have the max share.If that is true maharashtra should have the max share of Godavari as it originates from there. But Karnataka and andhra hold the max share.its the question of sharing and the tribunal has given a fair verdict.Some people blame the Central Govt and i dont know what the Central Govt has to do with this. please be considerate
RE:RE:Test of Time

Before concluding, just go through the history.
Maharastra left more water to Karnataka when there was flood; due to this whole north Karnataka suffered and many people lost there lives and property. They are intelligent enough to hold the water how much they want in normal situations (non-flood).
RE:RE:RE:Test of Time
by srinivas kanna on Feb 08, 2007 11:08 PM Permalink
sir, the same situation is applicable for Karnataka also. When they have excess water in Cauvery, they just release the water to TN and all the crops gets submerged in water.

that is the mysterious thing which i cannot figure.Karnataka running short of water even with the likes of Major rivers like Godavari, Krishna and Cauvery. TN has only cauvery as the major river (other rivers are just dry beds) for irrigation. Instead, cant your Govt think of linking Godavari/Krishna waters with cauvery?

Kanishk-ji .....Well, what happens if he says Jai karnataka, it is a state issue. and it doesn't mean any harm. I agree with you saying Jai inida only when it is related to international affairs not with inter state issue...

yes varsh raghavendra, you should be saying Jai Hind and Vande Mataram and not say jai karnataka. It is people like you who are doing dirty work of disintegrating our Nation. Remember karnataka belongs to us all Indians.
Rest of us should understand how serious it is to be a farmer and get your life messed up by the some political drama. Pardon my exaggeration, but, it is like putting a handful of clay in your plate of food. As a farmer, when you lose water, you lose water. Sympathies to real farmers. May these political buffoons rot in hell!!!

Good point but a senseless one. The verdict doesnot say that you have to give all the water to TN, it says you have to share. Think before you make stmts that too emotional ones.

yes. it says share it. but why shud we part more than what you deserve. u think before u make statement.
