Politicians in Tamil Nadu, particularly Ramdass and Sarath Kumar, and Karnataka want to gain popularity by using Rajni's name. Like wise the MNS is using Amitabh's name. If KRV and Vataal have teh guts let them go to Tamil nadu and protest. Spineless assess are KRV And Vattal.

Hey balu, to whoever he would have said must be kicked, can he use such language. It is unbecoming to the stature of the man. Remember he earns his bread from our state also. In fact many people earn their livlihood from our state. The first provocative statement was given by Karuna, think about that, this was only a reaction. Tell me honestly, arent kannadigas in Tamil nadu, a part and parcel of tamil nadu. One simple question, do you broadcast all kannada channels in tamil nadu. The fact is no. Only sun tvs udaya channel is broad casted in tamil nadu. If a kannadiga wants to see a kannada film he has to come to Karnataka to see a kannada film. This bullying should stop. Now dont say that kannada movies are not worth watching. we had a good run of kannada movies recently and kannada movies are evolving. I am not supporting any violence, i am only saying that if karuna would have silently gone ahead with the project, then maybe there world not have been such misunderstanding. These are only reactions. Even in chennai, 2 restaurents by kannadigas were ransacked, many ksrtc buses were burnt, Do you own responsibility for this??

Not true Bhushan.. There are Kannada channels in TN. I agree that it may not be as many is in B'lore. It's the same for Telugu, Hindi and Malayalam channels. Either they are expensive for the cable operators to relay them or they may be many other reasons. I was in Pune and was very upset that they had only one Tamil channel. But didn't think that "Maharashtra" had things against "Tamil". Why would they? Come on, dude.. Think positively. I am not a Cable person to answer your question with some proofs. But there are some real good answers other than forcing Tamil. Regarding the restaurant attacks, we regret it. Not sure if it is "Tit for Tat". Still it's wrong.. BTW.. "Odhai kodukkanum" in Tamil is more friendlier than "Kicking" in English.. It just means they should be "punished". Not literal "Kicking". It's just common in TN. If you have Tamil friends, check with them.. We use it all the time with Kids. Who is Rajni to kick anyone? Guess he is playing lot with his Grand-son :-) No need for him to apologise.. But if Kannadigas are really hurt, dear friends, we are ready to apologise. Let's get back to normal life...

Bhushan,
I hope you don't know abt Bangalore fully . Can you tell me how many people who reside in Bangalore watch Kanada movies. I am sure its very less %age watches . I was in Bangalore at Kamanahalli for 8 Years and I think i can give you a better answer for all your questions.
Can you give me some meaningfull movies say for example in the year of 2007 - i am sure you can't reply on this as it null or may be one or two.
I can give you many good films not a commercial one but meaningful movies which tamil industry has given - worth to watch for sure with a message.
About broadcasting , how can you tell that the cable TV dosn't air Kanada channels, I was born n bought up in chennai till the age of 21 . you know from my knowledge I think vat u told is not correct. Please do understand that no one in Tamil Nadu may be who had come from Karnataka has bothered to watch those kanada channels - Sorry to say like this but its the fact u must understand.
Regarding the ransacking and the buses been burnt - i do apologise for that. But u knw one how many times tht tamilians who r residing in Karnataka had been hurt in the past. Its n number of times - i feel some the relatives who had got hurt in the past would have given now. You could just indicate only one incident which had happenned,, now ,, but u have to think how many times,, tamilians in karanataka had been hurt .
I am getting wild and don't knw vat to tell, this is INDIA and i don't knw vat is actually goi

Hello my Frnd Have look at this
BANGALORE: Tamil channels will not be blacked out over the Hogenakkal controversy, even as theatres in Bangalore did not screen Tamil films.
Cable operators under the Karnataka Cable Television Chamber of Commerce, after a mammoth four-hour discussion on Wednesday, managed to convince most Kannada organisations that blacking out channels would not be in the interests of "peace and harmony" in the state.
After the meeting of cable operators and activists ended at 4.30 pm, an internal meeting after 6 pm finalised the earlier decision not to block Tamil channels. Amrith Kumar, representing cable operators, told TOI that the channels had nothing to do with "politics" and operators did not want to trouble viewers and the public. "Viewers are not responsible for what Tamil Nadu CM M Karunanidhi said about Hogenakkal. Karunanidhi has politicised the issue and has made remarks for political gain. We should not react to that by targeting people."
Kumar said cable operators will, however, block Tamil channels on the day of the proposed bandh , April 10 or 12, from morning to evening. Operators have agreed also to block Kalaiganar channel indefinitely "as it is the personal channel of Karunanidhi".
The decision of cable operators was supported by Kannada Gadi Rakshana Vedike, Kannada Sene and Jai Karnataka.
Karnataka Rakshana Vedike has said it would try to talk to the cable operators again to block Tamil channels. "If talks fail, we will protest i

Firstly the KRV and Vattal should educate people to learn to work hard. Other wise naturally people from other parts will come and work in Karntaka, they are within their rights to do so. KRV and Vattal will talk nonsense by being in karnatka, let them go outside the state and see the situation.

Let me try to describe.
Cauvery, the river originate from Karnataka, passes trough TN before reaching Bay of Bengal. The water from this river is life line for agriculture along the path of the river.
50 years back, southern states are formed on linguistic basis. Then started the problem of sharing water. Karnataka and TN have engaged in water sharing issue for decades.
Central government have formed Cauvery tribunal, to solve the conflict. Till now tribunal havn't passed effective verdict. Karnataka never abide by any interim verdict and TN never settled for fewer share.
When ever rain god punishes, this issue will be racked up to the center stage. That the way water sharing mechanism works out.
On 1998, elected governments of Karnataka and TN agreed on Hogenakkal and Bangalore drinking water project. As long as water is taken from the allocated share neither govt had problem with the water scheme.
Based on the agreement TN have started Hogenakkal water scheme. Now this opportunity is used by Karnataka's political parties to kindle regionalism.
Whenever this conflict against TN is racked up. Anti-social elements in Karnataka targets people from TN, and launches direct attack for no reason on Tamil film industry, by vandalising theaters.
Tamil film industry has protested against being targeted for any conflict between Karnataka and TN. On that occasion Rajinikanth, had used strong word against anti-social elements. But, as usual the statement is taken out of context.

Just statements.. no details.. BTW, My Kannadiga friends, "Odhai kodukkanum" is friendlier in Tamil than "Kicking" in English.. It just means that they should be "punished". Not literal "Kicking".

The Problem is simple... Whenever a river originates in a land and Mixes with the sea in another land..these conflicts are common esp.if the river is not that big. Regarding this proposed Hogennakkel project...Common this is intended to give Drinking water for nearby villages and not for irrigation project..How much water will it consume?

BTW, who said anything about Kannadiga's culture.. They are good ppl and normal as any human beings.. Don't get offended by some of our Tamil nincompoops... They just don't really understand what they do and say.. I'm sure there are few such ppl in KA too. Tamil friends, I am a Tamilian and love Tamil and TN as much as you do.. It's just that I love B'lore and other Indians too..
Rajini spoke the truth and wants the trouble making people like Vattal/Yeddy/KRV to be kicked out. It looks that all kannadigas support people like vattal/KRV directly or indirectly and making a hue and cry. This is because of their sheer incpmetency & jealousy attitude towards others mainly tamils. Competent persons never resort to such cheap methods like KRV/Vattal. Even in TN PMK was doing the same but it was not supported.
We can see many north indian IAS Officers/District Collectors in TN Governement. Kannadigas banned other state people's entry in their Govt jobs from which every one can understand their level of mind, incomeptency, insecurity, jealousy etc.,
Don't know what Rajinikanth had actually said? In what context he has uttered these word?
No comments on this. I don't trust anybody on this, because actual story is always twisted for spiciness.
All these are played out to gain some more seats in upcoming polls.
After polls the situation will remain same for people on either side. While TN will continue trying to get their share of water. Karnataka will continue denying it.
I wonder whether Karnataka/TN is a part of India or not.
