When you say we should thank Mr. Karunanidhi, you are really exhibiting your ignorance of history. In 1974, when the 1924 agreement between Mysore Maharaja and Madras Presidency expired, the then CMs of TN and Karnataka discussed the apportionment of Cauvery waters. Mr. Veerendra Patil (CM of Karnataka) offered TN a lot of water. The then CM of TN declined the offer;20 years later, the Tribunal was formed, which ended up apportioning LESS water to TN in 2007. You want to know who the CM of TN was in 1974 who so "wisely" turned down the generous offer of the Karnataka CM. None other than Mr. Karunanidhi. The same guy now proclaims "victory", conveniently ignoring the fact that he could have got more water if he had accepted the 1974 offer. And, you are propagating his story!!!! And, ironically, the same Karnataka which offered more water in 1974, is now claiming "grave injustice" when it is being forced to give away less.
