Letter from a Malayalee to Tamil Friend on Mullaperiyar

The letter to a Tamil friend from a malayalee friend

Dear Brother,

We just want to add sorry to the protests going on.
We are not enemies but friend
The protest is not against people of Tamil Nadu.
Most of the people believe that It is a water issue like Kavery dispute.
Its Not………………………..
Please understand.
The sudden dispute follows is due to fear of local people due to 24 small earthquakes for last two months. The local people have their own fears.
As we know in Koodam Kulam though experts and scientist are saying that plant is safe local people have their own fears. Then you can imagine about a dam of 115 years which is to be decommissioned 57 years before.
And that’s why there is a protest.
We don't need a single drop of water. It will be raining in Kerala at least for 300/360 days a year.
There is no scarcity of water here.

What Kerala has asked for is the permission to build a new dam and the request for new dam has to be considered seriously as human lives are in danger.
Kerala government is ready to give full authorization to get Tamilnadu 100% of water from new Dam.
We don’t want a single drop of water.
We are no enemies.
There is no problem between peoples of Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
It’s all by politicians of both states.
So it is a false publicity that Kerala is doing all these for water
Moreover Tamilnadu is the water scare state in the country. It takes its share of water from the 3 states that surround it, if Mullaperiyar dam collapses other people will look to catch fish in the muddy water to change their r agreements with Tamilnadu in the court in other water issues which may affect it badly.

We feel sorry about any problems caused to you by us.
Kerala and Tamilnadu have been friends for thousands of years.
We have our food and grains from Tamilnadu as you no there are no proper agriculture in Kerala.
So it’s our need rather than yours to supply water for agriculture.

All other disputes are cheap political polling games.
Please never take it as a political issue.

We both are to be friends forever as before.
Let’s rethink on humanity.

Your friend
(Malayalees)
