Hogenekal is in TN - the lower riparian state of Cauvery. If TN is building a dam and a power plant in the lower end of the river with Karnataka being the upper riparian state - how does it affect Karnataka? I cant see how technically it affects the state of Karnataka. Am i missing something?

Political mileage of the agitation is definitely on cause but actually they are prempting a defence of their own illegal constructions in the upstream against the award of the tribunal. Another is the time and again seen childish mentality of the Kannadigas out of inferiority complex to oppose anything what they can not achieve themselves.

Water sharing is not as simple as our side water yours and our side yours. It has to be approved by both states and center(since we already have a Kaveri dispute going on). TN comes up with new project means they need more water to cater to that and where it comes from...there you go ...KRS has to send some more water..so this problem just comes to same issue. Inferiority and other stuffs really doesn't matter when food and water are at stake.

The same doubt I got. Geographically (in fact, actually) it won't affect Karnataka part. Why Riot? Shame to be an Indian! :(
