25 TMC water which

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!

11/12

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?


12/12

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!
