I guess all of us here are fighting without knowing the facts completely. Please understand the judgement 100% and then comment. While writing here keep these points in mind, 1. The tribunal took several years to come to this judgement, so they might have thought from all the angels. Why dont let your Govt study and challenge the Tribunal? 2. KA Govt seems to be acting cautiously. It wants to understand the judgement completely and react, which is a sensible thing to do. The CM has requested the ppl asking for KA bandh to postpone it atleast till the Airshow is over (when thousands of Foreigners visit Bangalore). You need to beleive the Govt you have elected or else wait for the next elections and elect them out. 3. Every city and state in India have their share of bad qualities. I'm also a Maratha, born and brought up in Karnataka. I have visited atleast 20 states in India inclusing Chennai, TN and I dont have any bad things to tell about KA or Good things to tell about MH, TN etc. I feel all are in the same boat. We need to do lot to claim supremacy over others. 4. India is developping because of South Indian Brain intensive Software Industry and Business Acumen (this doesnt mean NI's dont have brain or SI's are not Business Savy). 5. No state owns the water and no body is begging or giving the water as gift. Cauvery is national resource and belongs to whole of India. In many cases there exists international water treaty to share water among different countries forget about states. 6. Every body wants to talk about the problem but not the solution. Neither I have any accept for the one which former PM Vajapayee had suggested. I.e. Inter linking the rivers of the country. Drag your Govts and other experts in this debate instead of wasting time over already scarce Cuavery waters.
And I'm writing all this sitting thousands of miles away from India. Any comments good or bad are welcome.
