RE:This is pathetic!

Mr. Sai, I agree with you that water should be shared equally. If you read the article properly, Tamil Nadu contends that it requires 565 tmc of water for itself and 175 tmc to Karnataka. is that fair ? You are right that just because it originates in one state, it doesn't belong that state likewise just it flows in another state, it doesn't belong to that state too. As you said about rivers in western world, there is surplus of water in those countries and they have never seen draught unlike in India. Living in Detroit, MI which is known for land of 5 Great Lakes which pretty much looks like an ocean and looks like it can cater to the whole world... :-) Hence western world can NEVER be compared to India in terms of sharing waters.
