The Mullaperiyar Imbroglio..

The poets are getting ready to write an elegy; an elegy for the Mullaperiyar dam and the 3.5 million people who are supposed to leave earth soon.
3.5 million is an exaggerated number, a few may say, though it's not. That is the matter of humans. But what about the number of other living organisms ? It's really hard to do the statistics anyway.
It's been ages that the anxiety over Mullaperiyar was raised and the pot is still boiling.
The only thing Kerala demands is a new dam at the position of the existing one. And it is evident that there is no other solution for it.
Any person with a little commonsense will agree with the the fact that a 116 year old dam, which was predicted a life span of 50 years, should be rebuilt. But i can never understand on what basis the Government and politicians from Tamil Nadu are opposing it even the Kerala government has agreed to give them water as in the past. Even the Tamilians living in the vicinity of Mullaperiyar want the dam to be rebuilt. This is not just the problem of Malayalis only. Thousands of people from Tamil Nadu, North East India, Bengal, Andhra and other parts are working here. Who can guarantee all their lives ?
Here is given an outline of the aftermath of the Mullaperiyar dam collapse likely to be happened.
The Tamil Nadu politicians say that the Kerala politicians are playing with the people's emotions. Whether they are or not, the Keralites have only one emotion and demand. In fact, it is the TN politicians who are playing for some vested interests.
Even the country's most respected scientist and former President APJ Abdul Kalam said that the Koodankulam Nuclear Plant is cent percent safe. Still the people are on strike against it and the government supports it. Then what about a structure that is cent percent threat for millions of people and other creatures ?
A disaster is waiting to happen; a disaster that will be 200 times terrible than Hiroshima witnessed in 1945; a disaster that can break the spine of economy; a disaster that none want to face.
I reserve the respect to the people of Tamil Nadu and this is not to hurt anyone's emotions. But just to convey our emotions. This is not just triggered by emotions either. You should be able to see the logic behind it. Then you can understand what the real situation is..
