Well everyone would be surprised after seeing the title of this blog.But if you watch the recent happenings in india closely you would say that this is the apt title for this blog.

Yes am going to discuss about the ongoing spat between KA and TN over water issue. I am not going to talk about the
actual issue here but the way that some peoples are trying to develop the animosity between two great states using this issue for some gains.

I am proud when people here in US describe Bangalore as the silicon valley of India. I am equally proud when the same people call Chennai as the Detroit of south asia. Both these cities not only make their states proud but also the whole india.Its very disturbing to see that some elements create rift between these two states and trying to get mileage on it.If chennai is called the Detroit of south asia its not only because of tamilians but also by the peoples from all over the india working here. The same applies to Bangalore, Bombay and other cities.
So if some issue occurs between two states its not good for the integrity of the country by doing agitation and attacking innocent peoples who are going offices, hospitals, schools etc.


There are lot of commonness between both these states in terms of culture, peoples, development etc. Our peoples should understand this and try to solve the problems peacefully without affecting the image of the country outside.

The following line might be cliched but is the need of the hour

"United we stand divided we fall"

Thanks
Kathir

We Indians are a funny lot ! When there is a national calamity, say war with Pakistan or some earthquake, India becomes amazingly one, strong, solid and invincible. But, at peace times, God knows what happens, even Cauvery water, which is supposed to douse fire, kindles fire !!!

Dear Kathir,
It's very simple. There has always been a huge hype to this sensitive issue for a long time.
I still remember how some 18 years back how the issue flared up all of a sudden. I had gone to hosur industrial area on a sales visit and on my way back to bangalore I had to go through much of hardship as there was pelting of stones and burning of vehicles on both sides of the border.
It is largely hooligans and petty area politicians who incite the violence. Public should be educated. The media should put forth the correct information. They too sit on the fence and for their own benifit sensationalise the news for the headlines.
This matter should be left to the Judiciary and should be binding. Till such time the politician will keep it buring. Most impotantly let the cine actors keep away from the whole issue.

Your point of view is very good and nationalistic.
