I heard through some websites that Rajini is going to mention about linking rivers in his much awaited Sivaji. Media is going ga-ga over it. Is linking rivers across India really a possiblity? With the kind of relations we see between states and the speed with which we execute projects and the willingness of politicians to genuinely think about improving India, I dont think it is possible. Above all that just by the sheer magnitude of the process I dont think what we talk is really possible.
I have heard that in China they did something like that. They turned the coarse of a river in different direction and they were successful in that but there were some people who were against that because of ecological reasons. Going by the success of it, it does look possible atleast on paper but with some ecological impact.
Coming back to politicians on doing something for improving the country the first thing that comes to my mind is Delhi Metro and the golden quadra route linking the four metros. I never thought our country will implement a metro but they have succeeded in implementing it. Also we can see they are constantly increasing its penetration. But, other than that and with few projects on paper such as airport modernisation we have not had any major improvement improvement work in any state. With such a report card, the day when they are going to link all rivers is not even in the far future.
Talking about linking rivers is simple but implementing it !!!!. How serious is Rajini in this issue? Will it help in anyway by mentioning about this in Sivaji? How serious are all the politicians who talk about this? Have they really considred what will be impact on ecology if this is accomplished?
Whenever I mention ecology here I remember the scene from the movie Anaconda where J Lo will say when they were about the bomb a blockade across the amazon "We shouldnt do this, this will have an impact on the ecology".
I feel this issue is just used to manipulate the psychology of the voters and nothing more than that. One Rajini cannot do anything on this issue.

We should appreciate Rajini for his thought and message. But why only in his movie. Who is going to see his movie. I will be happy if he could use his popularity to start some agitation and represent his views country wide. If the intentions are to create public awareness then it is fine. First our voters should get more exposure and think. It is high time our people come out of regional caste based politics and think something broadly to develop the nation.
Balaji,
I wish whatever you said happens. On Rajini he started a People movement and dismantled it as soon as Vajpayee said they will have river linking as part of their agenda.
J.LO has sexy curves
even the rivers have sexy curves ;-)
Anyway, nice thought on Rajinis part and nice post.
