I appreciate your points here and the statistics provided. I love kannada as a language and I have a passion for it hence I have learnt to read and write.
Coming to Cauvery issue, I do appreciate your points, but would want everyone to look beyond the past few centuries. If you look at history, rivers are the main reason for civilisation when all were united some thousands of years ago, human civilisation came up along the banks of river Cauvery too, which includes part of Karnataka and Tamilnadu. People living along the banks are entirely dependent on the waters of Cauvery, even before state of Mysore or State of Madras was formed. Now so many centuries later, one cannot expect all these settlements to move else where which is not practical or ethical. If the river is dry, civilsation along the bank will have no meaning. Hence as people of one country, we should look at our neighbours as our own people, irrespective of caste, religion or language and the sharing should be need based. I am sure the Tribunal considered all these before giving a verdict.
Rohit, imagine if Karnataka is geographically located in the place where Tamilnadu is. Will you still be writing the same what you have written here.
One should start looking at national issues with an open mind.
BTW I am settled in Bangalore and I need Cauvery as part of Karnataka.
