now the dam belongs to TN. They pay only rental for the land at a very low rate fixed 120 years go. so water is almost free. in addition they also produce
electricity. kerala govt renewed the charges when k.karunakaran was CM. their objection is, if kerala builds its own dam, TN will have to pay for water
as kerala wants return on investment. also TN will have no control over the dam. now TN is producing rice with kerala water and selling that rice to kerala.
kerala is not getting any benefit out of the dam. with congress govts at centre and state, kerala should have their own way but our leaders are good for nothing.
whereas as their state's interest comes, TN all people are united. central govt is afraid of DMK pulling out its 18 LS members. TN also has aggressive members
in SC appointed committee. kerala should make it clear that if anything happens to the dam, TN will have to pay all damages and compensation. this will deter
them. i think this point is not mentioned in the suit before SC. the only way to teach TN a lesson is
(1) promise them water
(2) do not build a dam after decommissioning present dam, this way atleast 5 district in TN will become a desert.
(3) people in lower districts should object to building a dam. this is what TN is afraid of.
the maharaja of Travancore (a real 'prajavalsalan') refused to sign the lease agreement for many years but he was forced to sign the agreement by british.
the agreement was (as per international standards) for 99 years but was clandestinely altered to '999' years by TN/british. this is the problem for all trouble.
our politicians have time only for fighting for 'roadside meetings' 'admission of a student' 'phone call by RBP', and such trivial issues and not main issues like MP.
kerala people have voted them and now let them suffer!!!

Subject: Re: [www.keralites.net] Mullaperiar controversyThere is no word to describe the present day dangerous situation we face due to Mullaperiyar Dam. It appears that this was created by our own people and our own government.
Long back I remember to have seen an article (may be in this column or elsewhere) wherein it was mentioned that there was a doubt of the agreement period of "999" years. It said that one "9" appears to be of different shape and might have added later. If that was so, without the knowledge of officials (those times) of Kerala government, it never happens. In a such a case, the officials involved become No.1 wrongdoers.
Can we believe that whether man can make agreements for a period of 1000 years ?! This is beyond one's imagination. Maximum life span of 'Homo Sapiens' (Biological nomenclature for human beings) is 100 years (exceptions are there). Present day average life span of man is, say about, 60 years. (It was less than 50 years when the Mullaperiyar agreement was executed). A man who, in every possibility, does not live up to 100 years, has got no right to make "agreements" beyond his maximum life span, ie., 100 years. This is the logic. When the Mullaperiyar agreement was executed, both parties might have thought this "logic" and in every possibility they might have made it for a period of 99 years only.
The original agreement was executed by the Madras (British) government and the Travancore Kingdom. Naturally, after the Independence, all the agreements executed by the British government would have been treated as lapsed. But unfortunately, this Mullaperiyar Dam agreement continued. We Keralites and our government failed to foresee the consequences because of our casual approach on serious matters. Moreover, the cunning TN (the then Madras) political set up made Kerala government ratify the old agreement. This has happened in 1970. The Achutha Menon Ministry at that time, also failed to foresee the problems, Kerala may face in future while ratifying the agreement executed by the British government.
Now we are paying for all those mistakes we, ourselves, committed earlier. Our political set up is ineffective. Ruling as well as the opposition parties can only fight verbally.
Only God can save our "God's Own Country". Pray for that.

Subject: Re: [www.keralites.net] Mullaperiar controversy
Mullaperiyar is a burning issue in kerala and all our politicians are silent why? because everybody had huge investments in tamilnadu and getting huge sums as bribe, they are frightening us of rice and vegetables then how we say India is a federal state and everybody is equal ,we should have our rights, we had given 20 members for LDF in the last govt and we got 72 kms of railway track for giving Palakkad Rly division to tamilnadu, that is our politicians boneless fellows, dont trust them for our life.
whether there is only one way to kerala, we have 600kms of coastal line and we can purchase from anywere. Dont get panic of tamils we should get united and people will start cultivating items, when they study a lesson .
What the problem is we dont have good leaders who loves kerala to take bold decisions.
And our daily manorama has more interest in MRF than kerala so they will not say anything.
I will say cancel this agreement and block all water to tamilnadu ,then they will come to us ,of-course there will be problem for some days, and also new agreement should be for a lesser period, will be renewed frequently and should take enough price for our natural resources and be used for the development of our homeland.
Now they are giving free laptops TVs with our cash.
All malayalies should be united at this point and teach this tamils a lesson and also those who makes unnecessary strikes & harthals here and make investments some were.
be united everybody for our own existence,
thank you

If Kerala govt have the will, it is the right of Kerala to de-commissioning the dam. No need of an approval from Union Govt. Unfortunately the matter goes to Supreme Court. We can't do anything now, in a federal system. We have toadherethe court orders.Even when Chami raped and killed our Soumiya, the 100% innocent, the Tamil Media demanded release of the killer. Tamil Assembly demanded the Rajiv Gandhi murder to be freed. I do not know what the tamilians needed? Do they need the right to kill anyone in India?
LTTE killed thousands of Srilankans. India supported that terrorists group. We never open our eyes.
Let 35-40 lakhs of Keralites die! Let our govt be blind!!

Subject: [www.keralites.net] Mullaperiar controversy
In today's Newsroom program me of the Timesnow, while participating in the discussion relating to a film "Dam999" the famous film actress, speaking on behalf of DMK, had expressed her views. She said the film will hurt the sentiments of Tamil people and will create great amount of disharmony between the people of Kerala and Tamil Naadu. Hnce this film has not been released in TN theaters. Mr.Mohan Roy the producer/director of the film defended the theme and said that it is not about the Mullaperiar dam the film is made. There are more than 4000 dams in this country which are hundred years old and they all require, urgent attention. Since Mullaperiar is the live controversy between TN and Kerala at the current time, it catches the attention of the people when the film is shown. Mme Jayalalithaa the CM had written to the PM, asking him to interfere in the controversy. Since Kerala has brought to the notice of the center about the dangerous situation after the recent earthquake in Idukki dist. PM had volunteered to mediate between the TN and Kerala over this issue. Ultimately the proposal of the Kerala state for the construction of a new dam, may fructify.
