Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Water  Mutiny  of  2020



Will our petty politicians ever find time to read the following ?






Govt is ignoring key issues, water crisis: Opposition

In Delhi’s Sangam Vihar, life is sometimes cheaper than water 


https://www.hindustantimes.com/delhi-news/in-delhi-s-sangam-vihar-they-kill-for-water/story-wwl2T5yYaEFwtwoNEst4YI.html 

 

 

I foresee a future (- around June 2020 ) when those thousands of plastic bucket-carrying women and children , simply walk into the posh bungalows of Karnataka politicians and start filling up their empty vessels with precious water from their bathroom taps  !

 

Why wait for hours for that water tanker to reach your street and then fight with neighbours for a few drops of water ?

 

What would those politicians do “when” this happens ?  [ not, “ if “ this happens ! ]

 

Sure , they would call the local policemen. Even knock the doors of CJI

 

But what would those policemen do when they find out that their own wives / children are those “ stealing “ water from Shri Kumarswamy’s  bungalow ?

 

Will they fire bullets on their own loved ones ?

 

Do we see a “ History repeats itself “ type of situation ?  Albeit with a difference

 

Just hold on till June 2020 , when ( as per above-mentioned report of NITI Aayog ) , taps will run dry in the city of Bengaluru ( Shri Kumarswami may want to consider handing over the post of Chief Minister to the Congress Party – or even BJP ! )

 

That unforgettable history of what the British like to call , the “ Sainik Mutiny “ of 1857 ?

 

And what we , Indian citizens proud of our glorious heritage , like to call “ The First War of Independence “

 

It is still not too late for politicians ( belonging to all parties ) to read – and ACT :

 

 

Water Wars Are Looming !







Clean Drinking Water

 



What are “ side effects “ of Ethanol ?

 




 





Deja Vu ? #Latur #Marathwada #Waterwar 




Need : More than an Judgement 




Water Water Everywhere ? Even in Latur ? 




Water Wars ?  [  08 April 2016  ] 




Is Uma Bharti helpless ?  [  25   Dec  2015  ]
