While reading about TN's state of water resources, I have to admit that I am kind of ashamed that I didn't know this before.

There's no other way to put it.

If there is any one person in TN who can come closest to God, then it has to be K Kamaraj
If you sort TN's dams on the basis of its reservoir capacity, then 7 of the top 10 dams were built during his tenure as the TN Chief Minister.

The other 3 were built by the British.

And he built it all in a period of 10 years.

Nowadays, We build ONE flyover in 10 years.
Total area under irrigation in Tamil Nadu is about 33 Lakh acres. The dams built by Kamaraj irrigate almost 23 lakh of them.

We haven't even built half of it in the next 50 years hence.

But, yes we successfully changed Dalmiapuram to Kalakudy
He made farming possible in Ramnad and District, a barren, salty, brackish hell hole when he built the Vaigai dam.

We successfully floated thermacoles in that.

I won't exaggerate, but for every morsel we eat today, Kamaraj is responsible for almost half of it.
And he wasn't some card carrying communist.

ICF Perambur : Kamaraj
BHEL Trichy : Kamaraj
Film Factory Ooty : Kamaraj
Neyveli Lignite : Kamaraj

Enjoying your AC, thank K Kamaraj.

He ensured you will have fun, in 1959.

The word Vision looks up to Kamaraj for inspiration
So all you people repeat after me,

K Kamaraj is God. And we all bow down to him.

P. S : He will be very sad in heaven today, seeing the state of TN.
P. P. S : Kamaraj didn't complete primary school
Kamaraj is Thalai
Kamaraj is Thalapathy
Kamaraj is Superstar
Kamaraj is Ultimate Star
Kamaraj is Puratchi Thalaivan
Kamaraj is Kamaraj. An adjective of his own.

Dear People who are protesting against the new Salem highway. Let me tell you a story.

There was one more protest 3 years before. At Marthandam.

The govt wanted to convert the existing Kerala highway into a four lane one. As it is one of the main routes, it was much needed
Now, Marthandam is the last town in TN and is a major junction on the highway.

And as all Kanniyakumari district towns go, it is basically a single lane road with shops on all sides.

It used to take 3 hours to go from Nagercoil to Trivandrum, a distance of 70 kms.
The govt wanted to bring it down to 60 mins. It is a project that has the potential for massive impact.

Initially the govt, decided to expand the current single lane and gave a good offer to the adjacent shopkeepers.

All was fine and smooth

And then it started

Dear Protest industry of TN

Now that you have started protesting against the Salem Chennai highway, you have clearly shown that you want to destroy TN from within

So let me help you.
Start off with Tirupur. You have so many mills and so much pollution that this is your wet dream. Shut everything down.

You will destroy the livelihoods of lakhs of people, whom you can then use in your protest politics.
Then move onto the cement factories of Salem, Coimbatore, Trichy, Viradhunagar and Tirunelveli.

Another 100,000 added to your army.

While you are at it, Shut down the NLC too. It probably has more emissions than sterlite.

Given that TN won't have power, is small consequence

For all those people who say, "Please support all the protests that are happening right now, because if we don't, we will be reduced to drinking poisonous water and poisonous air",

I have some news for you.
Every European country is far more industrialized than us. Don't people live there? Are they reduced to wearing Mad Max style gas masks?

They aren't

In fact, their quality of water is far better than ours. Their per acre yields in Agriculture, are way higher than ours.
If you want to protest, don't protest against the industries. Protest against corrupt politicians and corrupter babus, who take huge bribes to look the other way, while those companies flout all norms with impunity

If you do that, we have a chance of living happily ever after.

a taekook au where model Kim Taehyung gets into a car crash and ends up with severe injuries that could’ve paralyzed him from waist down. But after a successful surgery, they hire a physical therapist to strengthen his legs again.

But it doesn’t help that it’s his ex Jeongguk.

•

When Taehyung first gets into the accident, there’s nothing.

He feels nothing, he hears nothing and he sees nothing. And once the shock disappears, there’s pain. Blinding, unbearable pain and he tries to scream but he can’t hear his own voice over the chaos around him.

I've distilled my political beliefs as a moderate libertarian into 5 distinct points. Maybe more. This might turn into a 95 thesis thing. @brando171, this is for you buddy.
1) I believe every neighborhood or closest local approximation should be free to collectively own and maintain a Bradley Fighting Vehicle or equivalent, as part of their local militia.
2) I believe we should constitutionally maintain a 70 vote cloture in the Senate and states should return to selecting their Senator. Yes, I would prefer nothing that isn't absolutely necessary be able to pass the Senate.

Let Me ask some questions to DMK & ADMK
1. In 1967 when dravidian parties came to power there were over 44000 lakes and ponds in Tamil Nadu , Today there ar less than 6000 water bodies, What happened to the rest 38000 + water bodies

#TNBandh
2. When you came to power in 1967 you said you will protect the natural resources of Tamil Nadu, instead of protecting the water resources of Tamil Nadu , havent both Dravidian parties looted and swindled the water resources of Tamil Nadu ? #TNBandh
3. Before both Dravidian parties came to power, you promised to solve Cauvery problem in one term, but now its over 50 years, during this course both DMK and ADMK have been in power both in the state & Center (coalition) , but still you have not solved the cauvery issue, #TNBandh
