I can see so many posts comparing cauvery dispute with Indus river. First and foremost, Indus river originates in Tibetan plateau and it is India honoring the Indus water treaty and providing water to Pakistan. It is due to the fact that Indian can create a potential drought situation, the treaty was made with the brokering of world bank.
It is physically impossible for pakistan or china to stop the flow of the river through dam as the drainage area of the river is vast and any natural disaster will put their country in jeopardy. In addition, international treaties if not valued will have a severe repercussions.
In cauvery dispute, it is a political crossover between the national parties and regional parties. General consensus that TN is a unbreakable barrier for national parties put us in backfoot, so the central govt has no onus in implementing the judgement given by Supreme court as such.
I don't want to go deep into the idea of water sharing followed across the country or the world as supreme court has clearly gone thru every bit of the point.
First thing first, why there is a protest in tn today.
1. TN MPs, both LS and RS was protesting outside parliament during the entirety of the last session. Not even an appointment with pm was arranged.
2. TN leaders seeking pm's intervention was asked to meet nitin karkari. We still don't know, why the hell TN leaders need to meet road and transport minister for river dispute issue.
3. When the deadline finally expired, we got a soft notion that the CMB will be made only after Karnataka election.
Farmers protest in delhi, 2015 target violence against tamizhans in karnataka, bjp and congress fighting in live tv over who is responsible for the violence all cannot be included in this comment, as it would make an already long stuff bit longer.
The cauvery dispute is right now is in political crossover and unless people started forcing the leaders into action, we would not be getting the prompt response. Hence, tn has no way other than to start the protests.
What seen as a protest by pro-development guys is a life or death scenarios for the affected parties. Most important thing we should all remember is, indian is a union of 1500+ princely states. Even before British, Indian sub continent never came under a single ruler. So there will be a cultural difference and different linguistics and it should be welcomed and accepted without any remorse. Minute, we turn against these ideas of cultural diversity and take pro state stance, we are moving away from the very idea of India. So, in any case single ideology or single religion or single religion or single language has no place for India.
