Cauvery is Tamils Right
by commanman on Feb 06, 2007 06:43 PM   Permalink

Tamils has more right over Cauvery because of the following historical facts.

1. Karnataka people doesn't know about agriculture, irrigation etc. We Tamils went there and taught all these technics to them.

2. 2000 years before iteself we built the Kallanni Dam in Cauvery near Trichy for paddy cultivation, at that time there were no paddy cultivation happened in Karnataka, Kannadigas came here to TN and learnt all these paddy cultivation technics from TN farmers.

3. If TN stops Neyveli Lignite power to Karnataka, then the Bangalore and half of the Karnataka will become dark in overnight. Neyveli lignite is 100% produce of Tamil Nadu unlike Cauvery water.


We the people gave the knowledge of agriculture and light to the IT of Karnataka.

So Karnataka is not doing any favour by releasing Cauvery water, its their duty to do so and its Tamil's Right.
