*www.newindpress.com/NewsItems.asp?...ge=T&Title=Southern+News+-+Tamil+Nadu&Topic=0HOSUR: Protests staged by Kannada outfits in Karnataka over the Hogenakkal water project has irked Kannada-speaking people residing in the Krishnagiri and Dharmapuri districts.
�If Hogenakkal drinking water project was implemented, the greatest beneficiaries would be the Kannada-speaking people staying in Krishnagiri and Dharmapuri districts,� said A Kumar, Kannadiga and a councillor in the Hosur Municipality.
Kannadigas constitute 30 to 35 per cent of population in Krishnagiri. In fact, Krishnagiri is the only district in the state that has government schools with Kannada as a second language.
Talking to this website's newspaper, Venugopal, another Kannadiga and a councillor in Hosur Municipality, said, �When Kannadigas are residing in majority in these two districts why are these Kannada outfits in Karnataka opposing this project,� he said.
Kannadigas in the Hosur region would stage agitations against Kannada outfits if they continued opposing the water project, he added.
really? because, the one I learned was that, Karna couldn't be killed because of his "punyas" and so the "dharma devatha" was protecting him from Arjun's arrows... and so, Lord Krishna goes as a brahmin and praises him with a song and then asks as a token of appreciation (to the guy who never says NO to any1) Karna's punya. When he has no fire/water to keep as "sakshi" (evidence) in giving the punya, he seeks his blood as evidence and gives it to the brahman (Krishna) and hten Arjun kills him.there is a old story that I had remembered...When ' Karna' was dying, Lord krishna appeared as Brahmin, and asked him 'Water'.. karna who know the truth of krishna immediately pick out the arrows which embebded inside his body, then offer the flow of blood to that brahmin.." take this even you are my enemy.. I'll shouldn't die without offerring this water that you begged me.."
splitting of one's homestate is unacceptable to each and everyone of us.praka123 -
Splitting TN is unacceptable. Need to divide any further atleast in the case of TN.
Either the Centre should centralise water or TN should decentralise NLC.
Taking over NLC would give abundant power to TN and solve the energy crisis and surplus energy can be sold to Karnataka and Andhra in exchange for water !
