Water going out of Karnataka
Tamilnadu
Karnataka
Mettur
dam(Earliermeasurementwas done here)
25 TMC water which
flows from
Biligundlu to Mettur
is also Karnatakascontribution.
21 TMC for Keralas
sake should be given
by Karnataka to Mettur
dam
Biligundlu
(Karnataka):
There should be
192 TMC when
measured here
But in Kerala there are no dams to store this water! Hence
TN has neither released any water water to Kerala, nor arethere any signs of it releasing this time! Even this 21 TMC isgulped by TN!
46Total Out-flowing water 238=192+TN claims as 192 onlywhich is baseless

TN allowed to irrigate more
land than KA is this fair? 1924
When British ruled TN, Karnataka was allowed to utilize kaveri water foronly 1.5 lakh acres of land whereas TN was allowed to utilize 10 lakhacres of land
This can be attributed to British imperialism
1991 Even 44 years after Independence, Karnataka can use kaveri water for
only 11.2 lakh acres of land whereas there were no such regulations forTN what sort of justice is this?
It is well known now that the imperialistic British unfairly preventedKarnataka from expanding its irrigation base more than TN. But how fair
is it to follow the same biased policy even after independence?
2007 Even after 60 years of Indepence, a biased verdict has now been
passed that Karnataka still can use only 18.85 lakh acres, whereas TNcan use 24.71 lakh acres
Isnt this a continuation of the biased treatment meted out by theBritish?

Why has TN always got preferential treatment?
19241892 1991IndiasIndependence
2007
Before Indias
independence
Mysore
Ruled by the
Wodeyars of Mysore
Wodeyars, Tipu
Sultan, Hyder Ali strong
opponents of British
TN was under British rule
British stronghold in India;
Indian rulers suppressed.
Result: Britishers cheat
Mysore in broad daylight.
Tamils gain upper hand over
Kaveri. Nobody to stop the
British
After Indias
independence
TN
We wont join the Indian union, We
oppose Hindi imposition
Upper hand of regional parties not just in TN
but also at the center. Even today 4 important
central govt. ministries are under Tamils. DMK
is one of the parties in the coalition at the
centre.
Karnataka
Forgets its linguistic identity
Hindi given undue importance
No regional parties whatsoever; Karnataka
marginalized in central govt. policies
Result: Nobody to really represent Karnataka at
the centre or advocate for it. TNs word has becomeGospel truth!
