He is one of the greatest fool of modern days..Let him protest until everyone protest against him..He can't live peacefully when there is peace in karnataka...
I wanted to stick to the topic, but few sensless people who claim themselfs as kannadigas posted some irrelavant messages against great Classical Tamil and Tamil Community, So Its my duty to tell some truth and facts. Following is one of the fact.
Truth about Kannada....
Kannada belongs to the family of Dravidian (a corruption of word Tamilian) languages. The very word Kannada is from Tamil word 'Kanivu', means fruity or sweet. But sadly the language is not original and most of its words are either borrowed from Tamil or Telugu or Sanskrit.
Even the script is borrowed from Telugu. Many Kannada words are formed by changing 'Pa' in Tamil to 'Ha'. For example, 'Paal' became 'Haalu', 'Pugai' became 'Hogai', 'Palli' became 'Halli', 'Peyar' became 'Hesaru'.
Recently some Kannada scholars have claimed classical status for this language. These same scholars fought tooth and nail to prevent Tamil being declared as classical as it is still living. Maybe they are convinced that Kannada is dead or dying!
Kannada does not have its own original word for "classical" and even for "language", not to speak of "classical!"
Kannada can be called the second daughter of Tamil after Telugu. The numerals are all derived from Tamil. The grammar terms like Noun, Verb etc are derived from Sanskrit.
Please read the tribunal's justification for the award.
It says the chief consideration for deciding on the issue was ensuring equity to both states by taking into account the past and present patterns of consumption of water. In TN, the main crop that depends on Cauvery water is paddy which needs a lot of water. Paddy has been the chief crop for several centuries and the main sustenance for this has been the Cauvery. As far as development of dams is concerned, the tribunal has observed that most of the irrigation potential of the TN had been achieved by 1974 (as visualised in the 1924 agreement between the then princely state of Mysore and the British presidency of Madras). However, Karnataka could not achieve what was stipulated in this agreement within the time specified. Moreover, the state had made it's claim for irrigation of semi dry crops (which were planned in new project areas). Semi dry crops need much less water than water intensive crops like paddy.
The irrigated/to be irrigated areas of TN and Karnataka with Cauvery water are 24.7 and 18.8 lakh acres respectively as per the award. The tribunal took into account various factors to arrive at these figures. These were 1) Pre 1924 status of usage, 2) Areas fixed in the 1924 agreement, 3) Areas otherwise developed by the two states that merited consideration and 4) Minor irrigation projects. Except with respect to the first factor, Karnataka's share is either comparable or substantially higher than that of TN. As regards the pre 1924 status, TN had 15 lakh acres dependent on Cauvery water while Karnataka (which too had paddy cultivation in the Cauvery basin at that time) had traditionally had only 3.4 lakh acres dependent on the Cauvery. It is chiefly this difference that has led to TN getting a substantially higher share of the award.
As far as Kerala's share is concerned, please note that all riparian states have a valid claim on river water.
One should consider these factors carefully to realise that the current award is a fair deal, especially when the combined claim of the two states is much more than the total quantum of water available in the Cauvery.
Even if KTK were to build 10 new dams along Cauvery and ensure that not a single TMC flows into TN, I am sure that all the seismic pressure caused by the huge amounts of water will ineveitably cause one hell of a shake which will cause a breach in all these dams built so carefully, needless to say the destruction it causes. So it is not wise to go againt the rules of nature. Sharing resources and distress is the only solution. Its not just TN & KTK. Its not just India. Globally there is going to be a paucity of all natural resources as a result of all the uninhibited exploitation over years. So states, and provinces and countries all have to share what ever resources that are available at hand if they are to co-exist in harmony going forward.

well said....most selfish people in INDIA! claiming national resource as their property! They never realise this!
The verdicts with politics may hit our own people in future if the issues concerning different nations go to international courts. They may give us the examples of the verdicts given by the Indian Courts and give us back the same.
