Our people in karnataka when they learn the lesson god knows. The cavuery issue was to be solved by pen is using sword now or solving by ink now using blood, these is story. What was our politicians, govt machines and this tribunal lawers were doing when team from CWC came for karnataka to cauvery basin region for investigation in S.M.Krishna ministry. The answer is everyone was hided. Whereas the same team visited Tamilnadu all their officials, their irrigation minister, local politicians and thousands of locals gathered to meet them, they begged, showed the unity of thier state, reality, necissity of water. The localites expressed we are ready to give up our life but not water they said. At that time Jayalalitha was their state CM. Our people expresed nothing infront of CWC team about the necissity of water at that time. But now waging a war of words with oursevls. This shows that how our karnataka people are courage, wiseness....so on. Karnataka people are never learn the lesson, nor they never teach lesson its a mysterious. Nobody will come save us, we have save us.

It is one of a few objective self assessments to have come from karnataka on this issue in this message board.we are now reaping the benefits of these short sighted regional paties in TN.In the hindsight, it looks we could have done better with other ideologies. It is unfortunate to see politicians in Karnataka trying to whip up chauvunistic feelings on this issue. I hope they do not fall prey to these machinations.

Some thing sensible from a Kannadiga,which is unseen through out this cauvery final verdict saga. Appreciate it.
regarding karnataka bund various organizations should also support the cause of employment to locals in karnataka which headed towards local nonemployment The matter should be taken up seriously
It is a good fun, comedy and some tragedy to read how a water problem is being politiced and hijacked from the real stakeholders in karnataka.If people waste their energy on bandhs like this,then where is the time for addressing real issues like poverty,illiteracy,social inequality,infrastructure etc. I would be very glad to see vattal Nagaraj to call for a bandh seeking jobs for the unemployed youth in Karnataka.

Who is Vattal Nagaraj? why his name comes prominently whenever there is a protest in Karnataka?

Better than Karunanidhi and jayalalitha for sure. He comes on stage only when he feels when karnataka's interest is at threat. Not like your cine comedians ( Karunanidhi , Jayalalitha , vijaykanth etc) any oppurtunity they think they are on drama stage..

If they are cine comedians, then where do Rajkumar's son and other "actors" of kannada movies come under?? Drama comedians?? Be aware of ur sinking, unwatchable movie industry while comparing Kollywood, next to only Bollywood in India.

Don't make these type of comments and make the situation worse. The comments like this portray their culture and definetely your culture is not sick as your comments. Give the cultures to rule their thinking.
What surprises me is the narrow mentatlity of us Indians. We don't need a pakistan to attack us, we have many enemies within our country. States fighting with states over places, water and language. Suppose today bandh's sponsors had instead decided that they would work four hours extra, then imagine the world would have stood up and applauded. It's time both people of Karnataka and tamil Nadu realised that this is the job of politicians - for they still follow the British dictum of divide and rule. Let us elarn from Israel how to grow crops from a land which gets absolutely no rain. Learn from Israel how to stay united in a land which is surrounded by terrorist countries. Come on be Indians first and Indians last...

hello suresh, dont compare Israel with INDIA, Israeli have captured the Plastinian land from 1947. They are supported by big bullshit American in terms of Money and weapons. they justified this telling they have suffered alot in Europe. They are the people who created Terrorist . Just you thing if they will capture your land then what will you do ? if you are not thinking to get freedom then you are useless guys. If you thinking to get then you are a terrrorist. They are there because of American and their weapons. you see the numan right violation they are ding .. even some of the jews will telll seeing this we are remembering Holocast... How can you compare these Israeli with Veg- Indian.(pure and humanity)
Panchkula Feb,12th 2007 This needs clear realization from all sister StatesKarnatak &Tamilnadu and Kerala or Andhara to act in afraternal accommodatingmanner instead ofantagonistic manner,as thehisrory of dispute has displays. This failure to live with people of different neighbouring states is a great threat to the survival of Bharat, let us do nothing that brings us to ruin.D. Goel
Recently,bangladesh postponed their 4 day strike in view of an Internationa exhibition of Pharma Industry.Now Karnataka follows them The literacy &politics have become same in Karnataka as in Bangladesh Good Luck
This selfish mentality of Indian people surfaced early when Taliban hijacked our flight to Kandahar. I remember all those families were mounting pressure upon govt. to release their family at any cost. Only a small girl said " I want my papa to be released, but it should not be at the cost of releasing terrorists" India will have a future only if such individuals increase. Unfortunately India is now infested by peoples ( read the message board ) like those who are foulmouthed who speak ill about other states and fellow indians.

he just wanted to make u realise the importance of unity at this time.. do u feel everything discussed is relevant to the Cauvery dispute.. they just show the anger and hatred on the fello indians just bcoz they b'long to othere state.. do u support them?

exactly, unless U unite and solve the crisis country will get shattered into pieces. Small sparks will create great fires which you will be find almost impossible to control in future. Before showing anger and hatred to your fellow Indians, think of those who lied down thier lives your your today. And this is your today !!!

A N I was speaking about the mentality of Indians. I am not here to spew venom about state diferences. Regional differences and strong issues first develop in your mind. You dont have that eye to get into root cause. Message is within the context and so relevant.

DG, My comment was specific to the example given in ur post. That was irrelevant. The families and dear ones always would pressure on theie goverments irrespective of the nationality. However, I do agree on ur observations on the people who have been spewing venom on regional and linguistic diferences.
Most of us are not directly (Indirectly due to the dispute/bundh yes ) impacted by this virdict and most of us do not have a detail knowledge on this episode to talk about. Let's leave this blame game behind and look for a better future and a better India. It's been quite some time we all part of the community who were hounded by this division/dispute..
The problem of sharing water persists irrespective what the decision is going to be that's not the solution and blaming each other is not going to solve the problem. Karnataka and Tamil Nadu has a rich heritage and culture and we are proud of that and same for the other states of the India.
If we are really thinking about the betterment of India we should think what we need to do as a Country to resolve this issue.. Well everyone agrees that there is shortage of Water in South India and There is plenty of Water in Northern part of India (Infact it's causing lot havoc during the rainy season and thousands are getting impacted by floods). We as a country should enforce government to work on %u201CLinking of River%u201D project. Well that%u2019s kind of resolves lots of problems the common people are facing today.
How many years we have spent setting up tribunal to study the problem.. How many hours of our Assembly and Parliament spent discussing this issue still the solution is not to the satisfaction of common people. I do not think we as a country spent enough time discussing how to resolve this issue as a whole%u2026
One of the solution what I can think of is Speed up the Project and set up working committees who can set up Right planning / Infrastructure to Link the wealth of Natural resources India posses and spread it to the all part of the nation %u2026
Guys.. let%u2019s think in these lines and make sure that it reaches our leaders who are making decision for the country%u2026
