As a person from Delhi I ask people who are from North India and supporting Tamilians to go to Tamilnadu and stay there for 1 full day. Then you will understand the genorcity of Karnataka people. In Bangalore one or two people must have misbehaved with them, but generally people are friendly. Bangalore city really rocks with its diverse culture & great climate. I love this city more than Delhi. I compltely support Kannada people in their agitation against cauvery verdict. Other people who are staying here & supporting Tamilians, I can only say.. Jis Thali me khate ho, usme ched karna acchi baat nahi. Have some conscience guys. Karnataka needs your support and we must give it back unconditionally & whole heartedly. Jai Karnataka. Jai Hind....

this is rubbish. we, north indians shouldnt support any state (in the south or north) unless we believe wholeheartedly in the issue. In my case, i believe the tribunal is right. Karnatak called for this tribunal but dont want to accept its verdict. TN is getting less water than the interim but are they making the same fuss.
On the issue of Hindi, why should anyone learn Kannad because they live in Bangalore. First of all, Bangalore is multi-cultural and one can survive in Hindi. If one can survive of Hindi then why learn any local language. Isnt that the idea behind 'national language'. There was a comment earlier saying that North Indians don't learn Kannad when in Bangalore, but if you know Hindi and I know Hindi, then there is no use for me to learn Kannad. I would never disrepect your language but there is no reason for me to learn it either. Why is Hindi taught as the third language of Karantak if you didnt need to know Hindi.

Hindi is taught so that people of Karnataka can communicate with people without conscience like you. Just for one moment put your hand on your heart and say whether you would have said the samething if this had happened to UP. Boss, have some conscience. Don't try to take a high moral ground when issue is not realted to ur home state. You will realize this in summer when there will be huge water shortage in the city. Then you are the first people to criticize the state govt. Least you can do the state which has given you everything is support it when the it is in distress.

No boss, the first thing i would say if this had happed in UP is whether the tribunal was fair and since i believe the tribunal has been fair, there is nothing to complain about.
In the event that i believe the tribunal was unfair, i would want the state govt to challenge the tribunal's decision. However, i would not blame the decision on the neighbouring state and use foul mouth against her people. The use of foul mouth against anyone is anti-national. Besides, even if the verdict was unfair, how can we blame tamilians for it. its not like someone sitting in Salem was deviously planning against Karnatak for this. There is no need to threaten our fellow Indians, even the ones who live in Karnatak.
