Mullai Periyar - The true story !!!

Kerala and Tamil Nadu are the two states involved in this affair. Central Government and Supreme Court of India are two external parties involved. The sad part is many people know only till point of the story. Lets see the fact behind this issue.

Logically speaking, how could a dam constructed and maintained in Kerala be named after a tamilian - Periyar !??!

Kerala government says 35 Lak people might be killed if dam gets collapsed. They also claim that dam is 116 years old and its made of limestone. How could we take such a massive risk which involves life of these many people!?

Every one of us also know that Kerala has accepted to continue supplying same amount of water to Tamil Nadu even after the construction of new dam.

Then what problem does Tamilians have !?!? Why they resist !?!? There must be some reason behind this. Is Tamil Nadu least bothered about life of 35 lak people ?! Here comes answer for all these questions.

In the year 1976, Kerala government constructed a dam just 50 Km below Mullai periyar dam. The capacity of the new dam is 7 times more than the older one.

Once the dam came into existence, Kerala government started worrying about the life of 35 Lak people. I am not aware about their stand. Was the dam brand new till 1975 !? Or did Kerala government careless about 35 Lak people till 1975 !?

Okay. At least Kerala started worrying for people by 1976. But is the worry true !?!?

Logically speaking, if mullai periyar dam gets collapsed, water is going to travel downwards. In next 50 Km, there is a new dam constructed which is even 7 times bigger than older one. Naturally water is going to get settled there.

Water storage in new dam is not known to be full all the time. Imagine even a case the new dam is filled with water and now the older dam is going to bet collapsed. Even in this case, water takes four hours to reach new dam. Water can be released from new dam.

Now how many villages are situated between these two villages !?!? Hardly ZERO. Then what will be the death rate ?! Almost zero. Then where does the number 35 Lak came from ?!?

Okay. Everything is accepted. But what makes Tamil Nadu to protest against new dam !?!?

Mullai Periyar dam is 2709 to 2861 feet high from sea level. New dam is constructed from a height of about 1853 feet about sea level. Water supplied to Tamil Nadu from Mullai periyar passes through high rocky layers and reach the destination. Location of new dam makes it virtually impossible for water to reach Tamil Nadu, even if Kerala wishes to supply us water.

Okay. Is Tamil Nadu defending the damaged dam for its personal benefit !??!

Probably no. Because as per claims of Kerala the dam is purely made of Limestone, which itself is not fully true. The dam has been renovated with 40 Tons of cement and 500 Tons of cement in 1933 and 1960 respectively. Recently in the year 2000, even an expert panel appointed by Supreme Court of India analysed the bridge and strengthen the same with latest anchoring methodology.

After the necessary modifications, Supreme Court of India declared that the Mullai Periyar dam is Safe.

Simple. Problem solved. Then what is the purpose of constructing a new dam !?!? This is what Tamilians also ask. Now can you understand their stand point.

People are also not put in danger. Bridge is also not in a state to get collapsed. A state of illusion is being developed in the minds of people.

This is the fact. Courtesy - An Article written by Mr. Gopinath. Article translated into English for the benefit of English readers.

When will Anna Hazare ji Succeed ?!?!?!

I am writing this post after a long gap. Sorry for being disappointing you guys for such a long time. Let us see the topic of the day - Anna Hazare ji's hunger strike. Many corrupted politicians laugh at him and poke him that he has lost. Many people say that his strike is meaning less. Let see what we should do to make it meaningful.


I recently saw a video of how very few Englishmen managed to control such a huge Indian population. I could correlate many similarities between that phrase and today's scenario. We people are like dry sand, difficult  hold together. We always expect a personal profit for almost all our moves.

The biggest gift we have is thinking. At times, this even turn out to be our biggest disaster too. Some people think Anna ji does this to earn some name in Indian politics. Some say that he belongs to BJP and some say he is the man who was fabricated by Congress itself.

I am not aware about what is true. But I am aware about one thing - this man made many people think and realise that corruption free India is possible.

I really feel bad when some corrupted politicians laugh at Anna ji and say that you have lost, your fight is meaningless. Logically speaking we people should feel ashamed. We cannot protect a person who fights for us. Indeed he is hurt by the person who was elected by us. Is this democracy !?!?

I could even see few people questioning that "When Hazare ji will win?!" The answer is very simple - the day when we correct ourselves.

There was no Englishmen or American when corruption started in India. It started only because of Indians. To end this corruption also, we cannot depend on external force. We Indians have to fight up.

Many of us might have studied hierarchy of needs. There is a stage called self actualisation. It is the last stage of motivation. I think we Indians never claim to reach there. If I earn 50K, I compare with my senior who gets more than me. This applies to my senior also. We people are actually never satisfied.

Politicians who earn in Laks dream for crores. A normal person who earns in hundreds dreams for thousands. This chain never ends. The dream in us motivate us to achieve it somehow. Probably the problem is we never think about our eligibility in achieving our dream. We just set un-achievable targets, put ourself in pressure, kill our conscience and remain as a corrupted citizen.
