Bro is deliberately confusing a legal clarification with policy approval.

The question before Parliament was simple:
Does the Supreme Court’s judgment dated 16.02.2018 mandate that Karnataka must obtain the consent of the lower riparian States before constructing any structure across the Cauvery?

The Government’s answer was equally simple:
No such requirement is expressly mentioned in the Supreme Court’s judgment dated 16.02.2018.

This reply is limited only to the interpretation of the Supreme Court’s verdict. It should not be misrepresented as a blanket approval for the Mekedatu project or as a dilution of Tamil Nadu’s rights.

In fact, the very same parliamentary reply states that Karnataka’s DPR has been returned and that a revised DPR must be submitted in compliance with the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal (CWDT) Award and the Central Water Commission (CWC) guidelines.

Further, with regard to the reply on 5 August 2021, then Union Jal Shakti Minister Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat clarified in Parliament that the permission granted for preparing the DPR was only conditional. He further stated that, under the Inter-State River Water Disputes Act and the applicable legal framework governing inter-State river projects, the consent of the concerned riparian States and the approval of the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) were required before the project could proceed. That issue is entirely different from the limited question answered in Parliament now, which was only whether the Supreme Court’s judgment dated 16.02.2018 itself contains such a requirement.

It is worth remembering that after the Supreme Court’s verdict and the constitution of the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA), it was during the BJP government in Karnataka under Shri B. S. Yediyurappa that the CWMA’s directions were implemented and water was released to Tamil Nadu in accordance with the prescribed mechanism. Therefore, portraying the BJP as acting against Tamil Nadu’s Cauvery rights is politically convenient but factually unsustainable.

Today, Karnataka is ruled by the Congress Party. If your concern is genuinely about protecting the rights of Tamil Nadu’s farmers, why are you completely silent on the Karnataka Congress government? Why target only the BJP-led Central Government for a reply that merely explains what the Supreme Court’s judgment actually says?
One question, bro @annamalai_k,  Why are you silent on questioning the Congress government in Karnataka? Is it because of your real estate interests in Karnataka? If not, show the same courage in questioning the Karnataka Congress government as you do in questioning the BJP-led Central Government.

Cauvery is too important to be reduced to selective political narratives. It deserves facts, law and consistency, not deliberate misrepresentation.

“India is just an assembly destination for foreign smartphones” to “India is mastering high bandgap compound semiconductor physics.”

Yes, Hamara Desh Badal Raha Hai 🙏

Agnit Semiconductors is India’s 1st vertically integrated Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductor manufacturing startup. Incubated out of the CeNSE lab at IISc BLR, they are growing custom material wafers, fabricating chips & packaging high frequency RF & power electronics.

Modern military hardware, whether it is the AESA radar on fighter jets/missile guidance systems/military communications/counter drone electronic warfare systems, relies heavily on RF GaN chips.

Historically, global supply chains for high end GaN power amplifiers have been heavily restricted under international arms control agreements/dominated by the US, Japan & Europe.

By establishing native epitaxy (growing GaN crystals on substrates) & custom device processing on Indian soil, Agnit gives India a sovereign, un-sanctionable supply of military grade RF power amplifiers.

Additionally, Cellular towers use base stations that consume massive amounts of electricity & generate extreme heat trying to push high-frequency signals. GaN chips can handle over 10x the power density & operate at significantly higher temperatures than traditional Silicon.

Agnit holds 15+ patents across the full GaN value chain, from the way the crystalline wafer is grown in MOCVD reactors to the circuit architecture itself.

They are built by a foundational team of PhDs & researchers, co-founded by Dr. Hareesh Chandrasekar, Dr. Digbijoy Neelim Nath, Prof. Srinivasan Raghavan & others, who spent ~18 yrs researching compound semiconductors before commercializing.

Deeptech semiconductor startups rarely go viral because they are not building consumer apps. That is exactly why it is on us to give them the shoutout they deserve. 🙏🙏

Honoured to meet Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji along with my co-founder, Bharath.

From two engineers who started out with a bold idea which had low chance of success—to standing together with the Prime Minister after Vikram-1 became India’s first private orbital launch vehicle to reach orbit, it was a deeply humbling moment.

Your vision and bold reforms opened India’s space sector to private enterprise and empowered a new generation of innovators. We are proud that @SkyrootA could contribute to this national journey.

Committed to building from India, for the world. 🇮🇳🚀

@Fintech03 I like how you related the upanishad allegory to current day. I have read this allegory in chandogya upanishad. Was not aware the same allegory is in brihadaranyaka also.

Many international media in the last 7 days: "Massive protests in India", "Govt stalled", "India unsafe".

(To deter investors, tourists, and disillusion Indians to incite more.)

🇮🇳 India in the last 7 days:

July 21st - ONGC reaches a depth of 1 km into the earth for geothermal power. Inaugurates two such wells for 1MW of clean power in remote areas.
----------

July 22nd - Indian Navy commissioned INS Malvan, the second indigenously designed and built Anti-Submarine Warfare with over 80% made-in-India components.
----------

July 23rd - DRDO's Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE), with Hyderabad-based Azad Engineering, delivered India’s first indigenous expendable turbojet engine in the 350 kg thrust class.
----------

July 24th - DRDO successfully conducted the maiden flight test of the indigenous Kusha Long Range Surface-to-Air Missile from Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Island, Odisha. It is called India's S-400. Big win by DRDO but under appreciated.
----------

July 25th - India got Sarnath (near Varanasi where Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon) inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List during the 48th World Heritage Committee session in Busan.
----------

July 26th - India in Commonwealth Games: Mirabai Chanu won gold in women's 48 kg.

Rishikanta Singh won silver in men's 60 kg (Games record in snatch).

Raja Muthupandi won silver in men's 65 kg. India’s early tally included 1 gold, 2 silver, and 1 bronze.

Previous day Para powerlifter Jhandu Kumar won bronze.
----------

July 27th (Coming day) - More commonwealth medals to come for India.

India's first hydrogen powered train (one of the few countries in the world) already saves 3200 liters of diesel in test runs.

High-powered task force on exam reforms constituted to make India’s examination system (especially NTA-conducted exams such as NEET, JEE Main, and CUET) more reliable, transparent, leak-proof, and technology-driven.

The government is set to introduce the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026 in Parliament (Lok Sabha). Tougher penalties, time bound investigations and sentencing, stronger mechanisms against paper leak.
----------

Everyday India and Indians are achieving some amazing things and taking the country forward.

Issues, protests (and accompanied anarchy) aren't everything that define India. Though they consume all news and media time. Don't get 'black pilled' too much by them.

The future is bright for India as long as the govt is stable and we do not let adversaries take advantage of internal issues.
----------

Indian Gen-Z are achieving great things already. The small number we see engaging in arson & violence hijacking peaceful protests by others, using filthy language, and having perverted thinking are just a small percentage.

They will grow out of it, and more won't become them, if India can take care of the perverse and mind corrupting content they get exposed to as kids and teenagers.

The act of Govt led by @TVKVijayHQ of handing over Pattas for 3084 acres Karur Temple inam land to public is not to be seen as an act done in isolation. A forgotten past story that will confirm this trend follows...
We, Hindus, dormant, keep waiting, thinking that others will take action and are good only in reacting rather than acting. Do you know that Madurai Sri Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple's 49 acres Vandiyur land worth several thousands Crores is now occupied by Roman Catholic Mission St Mary's Church, ably supported by the then Govt? Whether it was successive Govts led by DMK or ADMK, Temples' interests came as the last priority. Lets see how this happened..... Endowment land was bought by RCM in 1894 from a priest who was INAM beneficiary, thus not the legal owner of the title. The sale was held as illegal by RDO in 1948 contending that temple is the owner, further confirmed by Dist Collector and Dist Judge in 1949 and 1954. On an appeal by RCM the HC in 1959 ruled in favour of RCM. This Order was quashed by SC in further appeal by the Temple administration in 1966, rendering the sale to RCM as illagal. The Govt. changed in 1967, seized this as opportunity to betray Hindus in favour of RCM. In 1968, Tahsildar ruled in favour of the Church, overruling the SC verdict. It was ironical that Tahsildar under DMK Govt had more legal power than that of the SC judge! The HR&CE Dept. @tnhrcedept kept quiet instead of appealing against the contempt. In 2013 an activist by RTI found this fiasco. Also it was found that the successive Govt led by Dr. MGR awarded a GENEROUS Rs 8406 as annual compensation to be paid by RCM to the Temple. This is the secularism and religious harmony these past Govts have been practising. Lesson learnt: Govts will keep Court Orders at bay and act in their contempt to please other religious institutions at the cost of interests of our sacred temples. It is high time that we pursue against this legally. WE WILL, very shortly. For us the interests of Madurai Sri Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple is paramount.

Just as the entire true population of temple worshipping Hindus in Tamil Nadu are shocked by the betrayal by @tnhrcedept - - under @CMOTamilnadu Shri Joseph Vijay’s Government — in the matter of 3084 acres of lands - attached to 4 temples -

I am told fresh proceedings are afoot by TN Government to “release” another 4000+ acres in favour of encroachers again in and around Tiruppur District.

What is quite surprising is the Minister for @tnhrcedept - Shri @RameshOffcl is SILENT all along. Have these moves been made against his wishes or has he been told to keep quiet?

Is it this TVK Government’s policy to strip temples out of their land holdings?

கருர் கோவில் சொத்துக்கள் விவகாரத்தில், @annamalai_k அவர்கள், @jothims அவர்கள் உள்ளிட்டோர், பல்வேறு கருத்துக்களை முன்வைத்து வருகிறார்கள். அது கோவில் நிலங்கள் அல்ல என்றும், அதை பராமரித்த மனிதர்களுக்கு மன்னர்களால் வழங்கப்பட்ட இனாம் நிலங்கள் என்றும் ஒரு ���ருத்தை முன்வைத்து வருகிறார்கள். அவை ஏற்றுக்கொள்ளத் தக்கது அல்ல.

அது தனியாருக்கு வழங்கப்பட்ட இலவச நிலங்கள் என்றால் இன்று வரை ஆவணங்களில் அது ஏன் கோவில் பெயரால் குறிப்பிடப்பட்டு வருகிறது என்கிற முக்கிய கேள்வி எழுகிறது. இதை சுயஅறிவும், நியாய உணர்வும் உள்ள அனைவரும் சிந்தித்து பார்க்கவேண்டும்.

எப்போதும் ஒரு கோவில் கட்டப்படுகிறது என்றால் மன்னர்கள் அதுசார்நத பராமரிப்பிற்காக சில ஏற்பாடுகளை செய்வார்கள். யாரெல்லாம் அந்த கோவிலை பராமரிக்கிறார்களோ அவர்கள் குடும்ப ஜீவனத்திற்கென்று ஒரு சில நிலங்கள் ஒதுக்கப்படுகிறது. அவர்கள் அந்த பராமரிப்பை மேற்கொள்ளும் வரை அந்த நிலத்தை உபயோகித்துக்கொள்ளலாம். அவர்கள் அந்த கோவில் பராமரிப்பு பணிகளை கைவிட்டுவிட்டால் அந்த நிலத்தை உரிமைகொள்ள தகுதி இல்லை. அடுத்து அந்த பராமரிப்பு பணிகளை யார் மேற்க��ள்கிறார்களோ, அவர்களிடம் சம்பந்தப்பட்ட நிலம் ஒப்படைக்கப்படும். இதுவே அப்போதைய நடைமுறை!

உதாரணமாக, சில நாட்களுக்கு முன் ஆனைமங்கலம் செப்பேடுகளை பாரத பிரதமர் @narendramodi அவர்கள் நெதர்லாந்து லெய்டன் பல்கலைக்கழகத்தில் இருந்து மீட்டு கொண்டுவந்தார் என்பது நாம் அனைவரும் அறிந்ததே! அந்த ஆனைமங்கலம் சூடாமணியில் இருந்த அந்த ஆலயத்தை பராமரிப்பதற்காக ராஜராஜசோழனால் தரப்பட்டது. அதாவது அந்த ஊரி���் வருமானம், சூடாமணி ஆலயத்தை பராமரிக்க பயன்படுத்தப்படவேண்டும். ஆனைமங்கலம் ஊரை அந்த ��ோவிலுக்காக எழுதிவைக்கிறான் சோழன்.

இப்படித்தான், கோவிலுக்கு சொந்தமான நிலத்தை, கோவில் பராமரிப்பு, பூஜை, விளக்கு போன்ற பணிகள் நின்று விடக்கூடாது என்பதற்காக, கோவிலை பராமரிக்கும் குடும்பங்களுக்கு தரப்பட்டது. கோவிலை பராமரிக்கும் வரைதான் அந்த குடும்பங்கள் அந்த நிலத்தை பயன்படுத்தவேண்டும். பின்பு அந்த நிலம் கோவிலுக்குத்தான் சொந்தம்.

1963 இனாம் abolition act கொண்டுவரப்பட்டதும் ரயத்துவாரி பட்டாக்கள் வழங்கப்பட்டதும் வெறும் கோவில் சொத்துக்களுக்காக அல்ல. அது ஜமீன்களால் வழங்கப்பட்ட இனாம்களுக்காகவே முக்கியமாக கொண்டுவரப்பட்டது.

இந்த விவகாரத்தில் சம்பந்தப்பட்ட நிலங்கள் மேல்வாரம் நிலங்கள் எத்தனை?! குடிவாரம் எத்தனை?! ரயத்துவாரி கோவில் பட்டா எத்தனை? ஆக்கிரமிப்பு நிலங்கள் எத்தனை? என்று முழுமையான எந்த விவரமும் அரசால் வெளியிடப்படவில்லை. ஆளுக்கொரு விதத்தில் அவரவர் க��ுத்தை பேசுகிறார்கள். ஆனால் பறிபோவது என்னவோ இந்து கோவில்களின் சொத்துக்கள்!

கருர் விவகாரத்தில் குத்தகைக்கு வழங்கப்பட்ட கோவில் நிலங்களும் அடங்கியுள்ளன. இந்த நிலங்களில் எவை எவை எந்த வகைப்பாட்டில் உள்ளன என்பது கூட அரசால் சர்வே செய்யப்படவில்லை. எதோ இவையெல்லாம் அரசு சொத்துக்களைப் போல, அரசு முடிவெடுக்கிறது. அதுவும் ஒரு நாளில்!

இஸ்லாமியர்களுக்கு சொந்தமான வக்ப் சொத்துக்களை இப்படி கையாளுவதை கனவில் கூட நினைக்கமுடியுமா இவர்களால்?!

ஆகவே, இப்போதும் மீண்டும் சொல்கிறேன். கோவில் நிலங்கள் உங்கள் அப்பன் வீட்டு சொத்து அல்ல @RameshOffcl!, தமிழக அரசு @TVKVijayHQ இந்த முடிவை திரும்ப பெறவேண்டும்.

Princess Kundavai's public health system, c. 1015 CE

Alvar Parantakan Kundavai-pirattiyar , daughter of Sundara Chola, sister of Rajaraja I , spent the reign of her nephew Rajendra I building Healthcare

Year 3 (~1014 CE*): Founds a free hospital — the Sundarasola-vinnagar-Atulasalai, named for her father — buying 9 ma of land for 70 kasu to maintain it.

Year 5 (1016–17 CE, the volume's own conversion): From her palace at Palaiyaru (Pazhaiyarai, near Darasuram, Thanjavur district), she endows a Village Doctor for Tirunallam (Konerirajapuram, Tiruvarur district): one Vannakkannuvan Araiyan Pasuran-ambalavan Mangalapper of Pudannur in Marugal-nadu "and his descendants" to enjoy the land by rendering medical service to the people. A hereditary rural physician's post. (SII XXVI, No. 684)

Year 7 (~1018 CE*): The hospital's Vaidyabhaga — its medical charity fund runs short. She tops it up with a 1¼-ground house-site, purchased, not confiscated.

City hospital. Village doctor. Deficit funding. All lands bought through the sabha and made tax-free by due process.

An 11th-century princess ran a healthcare portfolio with maintenance budgets.
