Somehow we stay as one
I used to live in the border of Karnataka and TamilNadu and there was always this eternal tension as to when violence would break out. It was like I was living in the border of India and Pakistan. This was all because of the animosity between Karnataka and TamilNadu over cauvery water. This animosity is mainly fueled by politicians more than anybody else.
I recently heard the news that more water was released to Tamilnadu and violence again erupted because of it. Central government really doesn’t do much about it because their fate lies on the support of coalition. This has been going on for 17 years. So many politicians have talked about it. Some many comedians have joked about it. But it’s sad that there is still no resolution to it even though they say that the latest verdict to open more water to TamilNadu is final.
India somehow continues to stay as one irrespective of all the differences in culture, languages, religion and things like this. We truly are a very diverse democracy.
