Dear friends, cauvery water has been a problem from time immemomorial. When Hoysalas were planning for a dam across cauvery, cholas fought and defeated them for the water. later the Brits came and rest is known history. Right to Water is a universal fundamental Right. Kannadigas (erstwhile Tamils) are simple and lovables. All the chorus and loud noises raised by the hooligans belong to the Vatal Nagaraj and local politicians for political mileage. I did my M.D. Bangalor and have travelled extensively in Mysore,Mandeya region.I found the farmers individually and collectively not averse to sharing water in Tamil Nadu. This was at the height of cauvery row in 2000-2003. All the loud noises were by vatal nagaraj's hooligans. now,Internationally, the lower riparian states have a greater stake in the usage of any river whose basin extends to multiple countries.The same holds good for sharing between states in India. Historically, Tanjore the rice granary of S. India has been USING Caurvery for irrigation needs. Kallanai in Tiruchi worlds first dam (more than 1000 years old) was constructed to regulate the flow of water in the Delta. Their rights are more than the irrigated lands which came later in Mysore Mandya Belt. Even now there are river water disputes between India on one side, Bangladesh and, Pakistan and more recently China (over sharing of water in Bramhaputra/TsangPo. Never India behave rudely like the so called (Un)civilized fair skinned(?) Kannadigas.
