On Mullaperiyar and then, on an old brotherhood: continued...

To my previous article "on Mullaperiyar and then, on an old brotherhood", I would like to add something.  This issue should be seen in the light of the recent flood in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, and the Telungana Rashtra Samithi chief K. Chandrashekhara Rao's allegation that it was due to the bad and unscientific irrigation works ('Jalayagnam') motivated by bribery and corruption of the late Y.S.R. Reddy-led Congress government that was truly responsible for it, and not the nature's fury.  Whether this allegation is true is yet to be established.  However, taking a disillusioned look at the presence of corruption in the Indian government offices and politics, it may be reasonable to argue that there is a significant probability that this allegation could be true, or something like this can happen.  Forget the corruption story.  Think if something similar happens in Kerala due to the raising of the water level as TN advocates.  Think how horrifying it would be.  Think how much damage it can cause, not only to the lives of the human beings living around the dam, but to the relationship between the states and its peoples!  It will be a great damage to India as a nation.  It is time to take a responsible decision and to act.
