Indian Sub-continent:   

We just Predict, but the Cosmos Conspires

How about giving Mahadayi award to Karnataka? !

How about awarding Cauvery water in favour of Tamil Nadu?!!

A.S. Chandramouli Opines

Yes! It appears both these are realities in near future. It is just another way of give and take by the central government to play its cards in shaking the existing government in Karnataka for its party to make it sooner or later. Observe that it is easy for the Centre to convince Goa, with its own party hold there, for the bargain, say by luring it into an offer of economic corridor [cued from the idea of the recent Sino-Pak (occupied Kashmir) econo-corridor?) linking Goa-Mumbai-Ahmadabad or a mega offer of project for the seacoast and fishermen of high-tech marine vocations and job offers or such equivalents, at least on paper to begin with. But facing the wrath of Tamil Nadu, uh! That is far fetching, since Purichchi Talaivi is too large a figure (thanks to the bulldozing state people’s unstinted support) to bate with and become a bane for centre in finishing its term smoothly. In fact, the hit by previous central guard on Kumari made it to prison, but not without silent consent of the then existing same current central government which then, bailing out made itself a good Samaritan, taking credits and winning a corner of the heart somewhere of Kumari for her further non-perturbed moves till the full term of current central government is over.

Though appears pessimistic, no bundh, no hartal or getting to streets is of help to Aam Janthaa of Karnataka on Cauvery issue or Mahadayi. It is at the helm of affairs, in the top rungs the political game is severe and stronger. Common man is simply straining oneself hitting on their own livelihood. Also, it is to observe that the bureaucrats are kept alarmingly busier by the politicians as they while-away their time to complete the term. As a cartoon in one of the local media between the states said, mouse asking Lord Ganesh as to why his fest this year was lukewarm and not with full fervor, Ganesh in reply saying, ‘people are all now busy in deshbhakti as against devbhakti’.

Oh! That reminds us of Sino-Pak Economic Corridor, which ‘The Dawn’ newspaper describes as benefitting nearly 20 European nations. It appears a true global welfare as against the will and wish of one nation’s agonies which has vulnerable options. Of course, head of state of the peninsula in limelight could also be signaling if the far west friends would not go by its side, it did take decision to the tip of nose to go for a full scale war with its most antagonistic neighbor. This was evident in the way it was handled by the worrying head in the recent G-20 meeting of 2016. With the recent and fresh Indo-US military cooperation, USA is more happy to see good business in it rather than triggering a war which is always a loss for any party involved with it. Thus, the Corridor issue is already international and global, just like terrorism is.

So what would happen to the fate of the envisaged corridor before the existing peninsula government’s term of ‘soon to be 1000 days and less than two years to complete’ is over? It could be history repeating itself. Long, long ago, it was the Khyber Pass, now the through-PoK-economic-Corridor, that’s the only difference. The big brother of the West is within inside more than happy because the better the eastern business thrives, more it profits, due to the sheer volume of population and transaction of Asia ultimately making the Dollar strengthened to brim. This is because in the current times, any currency including the Euro gaining strength will virtually play better in international market culminating in vibrant movement of many other currencies, particularly the stronger ones such as USD.
