Hi, I have worked in districts of Dharmapuri & Krishnagiri. So, I know the advantages of this Water project. This is a livelihood & dream of these district people for 3 decades.

its not like that. Cauvery runs more than 2/3 rds in tamilnadu and not even 1/3 rd in karnataka. So huge portions needs to be given to tamil nadu.
Time and again, people are committing this mistake by saying the population of Bangalore is 55 lakh or 60 lakh. It is definitely close to 20 million (2 crore)

Many people are now willingly leaving bangalore..dont worry, now only kannadigas will be there. Both will be happy.
being an indian i'm talking here.. i'm damn opposite to politicians.. y these politicians r talking abt such senstive issues.. y indians r voting such shameless persons.. these r using sensitive issues 4 their politics..finally effect happens on common man... do u believe these r care taker of common man...no way... these r just like bed bugs..
We are fast galloping backwards to the age of the primates!! This country is slowing slipping into the hands of any joker who wants to hold the law at ransom. Politicians, terrorists, naxalites, the very influencable uneducated unemployed lots of the country..every one of them is the same but coming in different garbs. Is the constitution and the law of the country so impotent that it cannot deal with such demonic forces before even they fan out and grow big? These days the only sign of unity in this country is witnessed when an entire nation celebrates and mourns every win and loss of the Indian cricket team. In every other sphere we remain absolutely divided. Why doesnt the law take cognisance of the fact that stupid politicians from either states keep bringing in the issue only to gain political mileage. Even after the award of the cauvery water tribunal recommendations and the centre dircting the karnataka to implement it, karnataka chose to ignore the ruling. The centre was impotent to pull up the karnataka govt.at that time. Now the TN CM finds a way of igniting anti tamil fire in karnataka yet again. The one option left it is to very severely come down on any citizen , be it politician or otherwise, and make it a non bailable offence subject to a minimum of 7 years RI if they indulge in any discriminating act on the basis of language, caste, religion and statehood.Time we have the raj thackereys, modis,vattal nagarajs of this country cooling their heels.
Kannadigas are extremely tolerant and it is the politicians who are inciting hatred. Being an election year and no clear majority of people every party in Karnataka is indulging in such violent activity. Nationalistic feelings always strike a chord in people. There is no issue in Hokenagal project as the river is flowing from Karnataka to TN and not vice versa. Once the river comes to TN the water can be stored and used for irrigation. The karnataka farmers are no way affected. In the case of Alamatti Dam issue Krishna was going from Karnataka to AP and the state was building a dam to maximise the usage of water and hence opposed by AP. In this case only the water that is already shared by Karnataka is used by TN. This is simple cheap political game and violence seems to be the tactic of every party in India now. Raj Thackarey started it not BJP in Karnataka. God save India from disintegrating.

My Dear Friend, First of all, try to understand the water sharing policy between Karnataka & Tamilnadu. The Tamilnadu share of water is measured at Biligundlu which comes after Hogenkkal. If Tamilnadu is trying to use water much before the Biligondlu area, can%u2019t you think, it is the violation of the Policy. Karnataka has to shed much more water than the previous years. Already there is a Injustice to Karnataka in this issue as every body knows that People of Cauvery Basin in Tamilnadu are enjoying with 3 crops a year where as the same people in Karnataka have to be satisfied for 2 crops a year.
Coming to the recent comments made by Mr. Karunanidhi and the action taken over by South Indian Film Industry Association at Chennai. I feel Mr. Karunanidhi doesn%u2019t have better stuff than this issue to please some tamil fans and to have indirect control over other useless political parties in Tamilnadu. If they really are in need of water, they could have appealed to the Tribunal. Already this issue is long pending with the Tribunal. It is nothing but to cover up the government%u2019s failure or to check whether people%u2019s support is there or not.
I would like to tell all Rediff readers an interesting which I can across when I was working for a prominent bank in one of its rural branch in Tamil Nadu. It was in 2003 October or November I am not very sure%u2026 My branch premise was leased and the land lord was a local village headman and also member of some political party%u2026 It was during this time Tamil nadu faced with serious water crises%u2026 In the month of Oct Nov there was rainfall in a very few areas%u2026 and a water reservoir which was near the place my branch was located was half full%u2026 and the then CM of tamilnadu issued an order to release some water from that reservoir so that some other villages nearby might get some relief%u2026 Then protests started from within the village and the village headman cum politician was organizing a protest rally to the collector%u2019s office, against releasing water%u2026
These were the very same people who were protesting for release of cavery water from Karnataka%u2026 Now my point is %u201CWhen you are not ready to release water within your own state how can you blame another state for not releasing water%u2026 I am not against Karnataka releasing water to tamilnadu%u2026 All I want to say is that this is not a problem between kanndiga or tamiis%u2026 it is the mind set of our people whose selfish attitude is the root of this problem%u2026 Even if Karnataka and tamilnadu had been one state this problem would have araised%u2026 like northern par

All I want to say is that this is not a problem between kanndiga or tamiis%u2026 it is the mind set of our people whose selfish attitude is the root of this problem%u2026 Even if Karnataka and tamilnadu had been one state this problem would have araised%u2026 like northern part of the state is getting more water than southern part and southern regions are being ignored%u2026 Please do not come to a conclusion that I might be a kannadigaa%u2026 I am a tamilian, born and brought up in Chennai and I still live in Chennai%u2026

what isthje meaningof "%u2026" after many sentences
We must respect local people if not go to your own state and live their. That's problem Maharashtra is also facing. We need to consider local sentiments. If on the name of Indians we must not overlook on this matter.. If not I am 100% sure we will have different country in coming future. No police no judge and no politician will be able to avoid this. As a one country India is not having culture.. We are having culture for every district. Who are in Karnataka must respect local culture, local people .. DO play with that.. Then you will have problem. Same for all outsiders in Maharashtra and all over country.
Why not all other states make Kannidigas to go back to Karnataka and non-Kannidigas forced to get out of Karnataka? If all states purse this policy, we can guaranteee disintegration of India and everybody will be happy. All MORONS.
