I like any other kannadigas is badly hurt at the decision and I sincerely hope that the tribunal order has nothing to do with the TN or UPA arm twisting or influencing tactics but it is very tough to beleive otherwise so. One my close advocate friend said which I quote is "it is like dividing your property; Assume you have two sond and the first son has two children and the second son has five chidlren and you give more share to teh second son just because he has more children - looks logically right but in reality absurd.
Also I hope someone knows the effect of Bangalore on Indian economy (mr PC and MR PM are you listening) and the effect of this order on Bangalore Economy and in turn the Indian economy and I hope someone reserves some tmc for Bangalore also from the overall tmc sharing.
The order has made everyone in Karnataka very sad and frustrated :-( Somehow we are losing the confidence in the whole setup of this Indian union

Guru, While politics can never be ruled out, one should also consider the fact that the final judgement was so close to the interim judgement leads me to believe that this is fundamentally a techinical/legal decision. And even though people seem to think that this judgement went for TN, I would like to point out that TN's share is in fact lower than what it was under the old colonial agreement. Karnataka's share almost doubled. The trouble is not the award, but the expectation. Clearly Karnataka considers everything about the old agreement completely unfair and feels that it has the right to use every drop of water that falls on its state. While there is some legal basis for this argument, there is definitely no humanitarian basis for this argument. Turning TN into a desert (Cauvery is the only major river in the state) would be devastating not only for TN, but also for KA and the rest of India. If we can agree that some water needs to be released by KA, then it only becomes a question of numbers. Should it be 192 Tmcft or should it be lower? I hope the CMs can meet and work this out instead of playing politics. It is time India grew up.
