Brother, every story has 2 sides. We have covered one side here. Please cover the other side by visiting the northern Karnataka who are fighting for long for Mahaadaayi water. Let's hear that. Mine is lone voice but it matters. I am from Karnataka and I don't water to be diverted if it is for industry purpose unless it is excess water. But for drinking and agricultural, we must divert it. Let's not bury the real cause which is drinking and agricultural needs under the disguise of industry use. While you cover the Karnataka side of the story, also cover the drinking water crisis of Northern Karnataka. Bro you have no clue!!! The situation is really really bad. It is 2023 and it is still bad. So much so travellers passing some of the districts never drink water or consume food/drinks in some of the districts in that part because they don't have access to clean water! Those districts are famous of water related diseases. Additionally, it feels like Karnataka always gets the raw end of the deal when it comes to water sharing with neighbour states. Example: Krishna originates in Maharashtra and Maharashtra has the major say in how water is distributed. We keep begging for water in Summer. On the other hand Kaveri originates in Karnataka but Tamilnadu has the major say in how water is distributed! We are made to limit our agricultural activities in Kaveri basin! Can you imagine!? Kaveri originates in Karnataka!!! Now Mahaadaayi! P.S. one doesn't own the river if it originates in his/her state. We should always always always share water but in a justifiable manner.
@@kavishnaik29 Yes sir. It was also mentioned in the video. I will check further on this and get back to you with either supporting or opposing points. I am sure the protestors from Karnataka are aware of this but yet they have chosen to fight so there must be a valid reason. But I am not aware of this valid reason. Will check and get back.
Karnataka should not take up this project .We know what happened to Yettinahole river diversion project .They destroyed Hassan District western ghats . Disaster and irreparable .
@@sagarsatam2211 sure. As long as it is for drinking water and farming purposes. If my fellow Indians are going to be benefited by this, why not. Between Krishna and Bheema are relatively bigger rivers compared to Mahaadaayi. So I am sure we can share the water that way. In cases like droughts, let's be fair in sharing the water with downstream States too. You sound like you want to instigate but brother check my comments, I didn't mention we shouldn't be sharing the water. Upstream States or originating States do not own the rivers. Rivers are for sharing but we should do it in a fair manner. Denying drinking and farming water in the disguise of opposing industries is not good. Between you are talking authoritatively about Krishna and Bheema because they originate in Maharashtra. This is what I am talking about. If you want to enjoy that privilege, you should give that privilege to other states in which their rivers originate.
Goa is not only about party,drinking and beaches. Its rich and beautiful culture with so many temples and our Hindu culture. I am fortunate to have some Goan friends and they have told me so many amazing things about Goa. As a Maharashtrian I feel so close to Goa, Marathi and Goan are pretty much similar. The first word I learned of from my Goan friends is 'Chediyechya'
Please cover also the voices from Northern and North West Karnataka to understand the issue better. These are some of the most backward places of the state, without access to clean drinking water. The Karnataka government also has an obligation to protect the interests of Kannadigas. Having said that I love Goa and also have far relatives who migrated from there. I wish for a solution which is impartial and apolitical, where thought leaders from both sides engage each other to create a win-win deal.
@@sachin2842 true. But there are vested interest groups everywhere. We cannot view this as a Goa vs Karnataka issue, but rather see it in the context of the larger interest of the people and nature of this region. I've travelled to these parts and honestly the flora and fauna is quite unique and magical. It's something that needs to be preserved at any costs. If we work together, we can definitely find a solution.
Simple ,,Goa mein other dam banao rain water store karo ,,baki sab farji bakwas hai ,, monsoon rain water Lata hai,,, wahi water drink karega aadmi ,, other season mein river water nahi laya ,, propoganda hai international gang ka ,,
Most people and even Goans living in Goa are unaware that Fr. Bolmax Pereira is a highly educated Priest specialised in Botany. I only hope our esteemed Roman Catholic Church supports you in all your efforts and endeavours to save the rivers of Goa and most importantly save our State of Goa ! All the best Father. 🙏
Quite unsurprising given that old Goa is Unescorted World heritage listed not just for its massive churches but its reputation at the time for being a University city and therefore a seat of wisdom at the time. Good actions bear fruit far into future generations.
this corrupt politician for their own benefit done all this sold our mhadai river , whoever raise voice against them they will send government agencies against you will put u down, something has to be done we can't let this happen
@@agniketu The drinking water issue is real in northern Karnataka. It’s not about industries. That’s why we are fighting for it. The situation is really really bad. This documentary doesn’t cover Karnataka’s view point. I wish there is proper solution that would benefit Goa and KA.
I am from Karnataka. I support your efforts in making people understand the outcome of this cruel , selfish project. Political Leaders are thinking only in terms of economy not ecology. Already large scale destruction of planet has happened due to human greed and if we keep on continuing the same then the future generations will have to take the beating. Innocent animals, trees and the biodiversity will be the victims of unscientific, senseless project. Let's unite together and protect nature.
River took birth from a rain falls on the land in Karnataka, Karnataka has every right to do what ever it wants. Goans must understand their daily life depended on Karnataka ( labour, rice, vegitables ). Within 10years we will become majority in Goa. We will decide the fate of Goans. 😀
I agree with it sir,.....same problem is going with Karnataka 70% of farmers in Karnataka are struggling for water ....... maharastra is also not helping and since people of Karnataka are struggling facing this problem from 5-7 years .......govt should do something to handle both opinions.
But Karnataka has many other rivers.Even in case some water is proposed to be conserved for use by hinterland of Karnataka it is ok. Why build such gigantic dams? A few minor check dams would do.
My dear friend... Do there was flood situation occurs ... kolhapur, Sangli , Satara in Western Maharashtra ... after investigation happened... people come to ... Karnataka just refused to open the gate on their one dam due to which western Maharashtra fall flood situation... So ...don't say such ... We all know ...how karanataka is ...as state you have issue with all neighbouring states... Few day ago due this post I came to know you have issue with Goa ...nice ...do show yourself victim... Dam name: Almati
@@prasadjadhav834 yes you guys don’t have issues with neighbors ? Your MNS Guys haven’t physically assaulted Biharis and South Indian restaurants back in the day ? even Kannada movies faced problems in sollapur region don’t tell me you were angels 😂 Karnataka had water issues with Tamil Nadu decades back under jailalita now it’s sorted just like you guys bring up belgavi issue during elections
Even Mangalore and Udipi aka Tulu Nad the Netravati river has been diverted to interior part of Karnataka Kannada imposition on Tulu Nad, Big Big factories dropping chemicals into rivers of Mangalore and Udupi, cutting down trees and river diversion truly Karnataka is acting villain among all neighborhood states
@@manager9573 what about Tulu Nad and it's culture language and script, landa and nature everything is sidelined ignored and destroyed hence we want our Tulu Nad to be a different states else these beautiful place will be destroyed by the hands of corrupts
Fr. Bolmax had love for nature right from his days in Seminary. He used to give us medicine from plant extracts. A priest full of power, passion and love for nature
This is completely aligned towards Goan side, Mahadayi water is not at all for sugar cane or industrial purposes as mentioned in the video - but this is for drinking water issues where millions of people in northern Karnataka have no access drinking water. And both govts legally assessed this in court and Karnataka govt was given green signal to divert 2.18 tmc (61.8 Mcum) of Mahadayi river at the proposed Banduri Dam. Rocky I urge you go through facts before making videos, please!!
@@racheldsouza8895I am from Gadag, one of the districts in northern Karnataka. It is completely true that we lack drinking water. In fact the condition is such that people here are having long term health issues. I hope they make a documentary by visiting my region as well. I hope we resolve this issues peacefully
Wonderful job of a detailed explanation by an expert in the field as Fr Dr Bolmax is ! Equally heartening is to see an enlightened youth like Rocky covering this critical issue ! I am proud of the fact that our Church in Goa has highly qualified priests with guts to speak up not forgetting the Gospel. My only suggestion is that these videos should have an equal measure of English for a wider diffusion . Otherwise the message remains within the confines of our Konkani speaking community. Thank you Fr Bolmax n Rocky.
True son’s of the soul ! Rocky you always highlight issues which no one dares to venture ! You are from the South but yet you are creating awareness!!! All the villagers and villages from the North ( Chorao, Divar , Narva , Britona ,Old Goa and the list is endless are going to suffer endless. As it is currently there is already a water issue.And the disaster is not far away if people don’t create awareness. Imagine what’s going to happen to all the voiceless out there in the forest. God bless you Fr Bolmax and all those who are fighting for this cause 🙏 . Please forward this video as much as you’ll can . It has to reach to the environmentalist of the world .
If water is diverted and water shortage problem comes all Goan and other state people will leave goa and removing Karnataka people will solve our problem if you go to Bangalore and BELGAUM their you will see all Goan family working for best position in biggest company and how many Goan politian are fighting for madhai ?? Only activist are fighting for madhai and bro all our Goan writing comments only ..
Stop spreading hatred 😡 u don't have the powers to send a single person back to karnataka...let the supreme court decide it.....the states are interdependent ...Goa relies on Maharashtra and Karnataka for supply of vegetables, milk, fruits, grain and other essential goods. Don't comment anything
No matter who you are whether priest or layman saving our environment is our right. And our Bolmax father is a saviour who has explained the problem explicitly. Thank you Father. God bless you.
Rev. Father Bolmax you are truly an Inspiration thank you for being that spark every time we face a wall and your knowledge and explanations about the subject are so prudent. Rocky Bro thanks for your effort in supporting this cause. The youth is our NOW and not our future.
I am a Mangalorean guy who spent first nine years of my life in Panjim. My father was a Central Government officer. From Goa my family moved to Bombay. Cant describe how much I love Goa. I visit Goa at least twice a year. I felt so bad watching this interview. GOD bless the priest. I support any initiatives run for this cause.
Even Mangalore and Udipi aka Tulu Nad the Netravati river has been diverted to interior part of Karnataka Kannada imposition on Tulu Nad, Big Big factories dropping chemicals into rivers of Mangalore and Udupi, cutting down trees and river diversion truly Karnataka is acting villain among all neighborhood states
@@saideep1 WOw FIRST TIME I heard this word Kannada Impostion from someone mouth. I have been talking about this ever since I learned some facts 3 decades ago. Recently in the wake of the Hindi Imposition propanda movement created my congress my Bunt friends were supporting it.I reminded them that Kannada was imposed on Tulunadu. Kannada language itself is an impositon. There is no language called "Hale kannada" it is actually called Pali(or prakrit I don't remmeber now been along time) they still speak it. Those who have migrated speak Pali. THey also call it hel kannada. But I remember one guy in Gujarat I met he told me he speaks pali but now they call it Hale kannada. ANother lady I met from Shimoga her parents migrated she was born outside only but her parents tought her all languages. She know Pali prakrit sanskrit and other local dialects we hae not heard of like Sanketi she can alos speak coorgi and Tulu. My Bunt friend could not believe it when I told that Tipu Sultan first Imposed Parsi langauge as the official language. But since it was very difficult for people to adopt he decided to use another language. But he being the Jihadi that he was he did not want to use the common language that is Sanskrit and Pali. YES Pali and Sanskrit were spoken. The legacy of it is Mathoor And some 4 other small villages who still speak it. The media talks about these villages but we think that they must have reintroduced speaking sanskrit but actually they just continued it. Tipu like the British and Mughals and other invaders(like portugese in Goa) wanted to destroy our heritage and our identity so we will convert to their religion and also we will not unite and rebel against them. That is why he did not use the official "Indian" languages at that time Sanskrit and Pali and even Tulu was spoken all the way from Pallakad(now in kerala) till ankola so he took a local dialect and based on that created kannada. Yes. My college lecturer was a double MA In English and Kannada. He was a English lecturer and Kannada Lecturer too. Once in a combined class he talked about kannada and he called it a prostitute language. The reason being it has not original words most words were taken other languages he listed out many words I remember Arganti is from arrogant. That is why kannada has strange words like "Kaal cheela" for socks etc. This is proof that this language was created and then imposted on Karnataka by Tipu to destroy our real languages. That is why thought The region from Kasargod to Pallakad is Tulu speaking in the school Kannada was introduced. My Bunt friend could not believe it I told him go check 1800 AD is when Kannada has it origins it was after Tipu sultan was ruling Mysore. Kannada is not older than that. He checked and he was shocked. I said the worst part is as a BUNT you are supporting a Kannada Impostion on TIPU which was very harsh on Tulunadu. Karnataka fights for belgaum but did not utter a words when Part of Tulunadu was given away to kerala. They did this so they could impose Kannada and it is also a plan of Jihad Gazwa e Hind to turn that part of Kerala into Islamic State. There are so many dots that connect. Also Tulu should be official language as it has its own script. Infact Tulu rulers ruled from Ankola to Tamilnadu and upto Adhra Pradesh in the north At one time it even included GOA. There is enough proof that Tamil originate from Tulu but if we even try to say that Tamilians will go for our throats. Tulu is probably a langauge older than Tamil but it has got lost with the Kannada impostion and Jihadist agenda of these people who are still in control of Karnataka. Ideally Tulunadu should have been a seperate state and Coorg should have been a seperate state Tulundud should have extend till Pallakadu and even parts of Wayanad that touch the coorg state border. The Nampoothiri brahmins of Kerala are Saraswat brahmins ust like SB and GSB Konkanis in Mangalore and they have migrated from saraswat river they have escaped Islamic Religious persecution. They migrated from there to Goa where they again had to escape Portugese religious persectution then they were in Gokarnad they have temples there. Then from there they had to escape Tipu Sultan who followed them into kereal so they had to go south kerela. My friend who is from Tamil Nadu speaks Hale kannada which is actually pali. He also has some history passed down through the word of mouth. They were actually kannadigas living in Mysore escaped religions persecution of Tipu Sultan and Ran down to South Tamil Nadu which had vast areas that were not inhabited. He was telling me that In Mysore they speak Sanskrit and Pali back then but now Kannada is like the pride of Mysore the brainwashing is too far back and too much to reverse. While this language was imposed by Tipu Sultan. So this particular community fled to Tamil Nadu and Andhra near Tirupati temple area and now have connnected with each other and there are mainly in Pigmy lending business. Well these things may never be known in by the people it will be lost unless there is some big movement and lot of research done. Most ancient texts have been destroyed but there could still be some evidence somewhere.
@@rawraj1578 That's very informative thanks for raising the voices for Tuluvas and for Tulu it is necessacity need of the hour to protect endangered language in its own native territory
Thanks Father. We are not aware of this problem. We pray that our leaders raise their voices and the Karnataka people understand the importance of nature and that provides. Hope they stop the projects to divert the water allowing people to live as before without depriving Goans of the existing natural resources.
Keep up the good work of creating awareness Fr Bolmax n Rocky Wilz may our Goan youth realise this n walk the talk. We r heading towards havock.The future of Goa is in the hands of Goans. God bless u both.
Thanks a lot Fr. Bolmax and Rocky wilz ❤ Thank you for this eye-opening video🙏 Had no idea about the Mhadei issue 😢 Until I watched your documentary, Everything is explained so well❤ I would share this video as much as I can to make more and more people aware all over the world🌎
Well said Fr., GOD bless you WATERS Mhadei, Mhadei, Mhadei Water Grand father saw it in RAIN. Father saw it in WELL. We saw it in TAP. Our children saw it in BOTTLE. Where will our grandchildren see it, in CAPSULES??? If we still neglect We will see it only in tears 😢 So please wake-up, and stand in UNITY, please.
Kudos to the team for covering up on this topic. I really fear about our current government, both the state and central who are so busy pleasing the big lobbies that they will eventually destroy lives and living within few years which wouldn't require decades or centuries. The current government that cries about Portuguese looting us seems to be all hypocrisy with so much damage done in this generation than the previous. We speak about pride of India but have a crap mentality. This is what happens when our ministers are not well educated. The current concern for the government is only religious issues and that is to only win sympathy votes. They have leured every media channels and RU-vid channels into backing their ideologies. Our world in India is not progressive because of such issues. Knowing that we are already facing climate changes we are seeing development that is happening at an accelerating pace. Buildings, factories, businesses, etc. Many people from other states retire and come to live for good in Goa. Goa itself is having no much space to contain its own population and now to add on to that it is getting stuffed with others migrating. But with all this problem and with the growing population in Goa how can we supply water? So many hotels have come up in Goa. Almost everyone one requires swimming pool. You realise how much water does a swimming pool requires? So many places just have their taps running unattended. People have a bad habit of filling buckets until they see the water overflow. Why not be conscious of closing the tap before it overflows? Hopefully Goa awakens
Thank you fr Bolmax for the efforts you put in for fighting for Goa. May God bless you with good health always and give good results for your efforts🌠🌟⭐️🌟✨💌🏆🎊👍👌
Also goa has 30% Christian population while BJP won 21 seats It just shows that people prefer BJP progressive is not always the solution Believing in Socialism, 1077 genders and minority appeasement and Anti-religion is not what makes The west successful What makes the west successful is pro-tradition capitalism. I hope you understand.
This issue should be taken to Supreme Court ! As Fr. Explained according to the wildlife protection act of 1972 nobody is allowed to interfere with natural flow of river ! It’s a very valid argument !
Here in this video they just shown Goa side and I hoping they'll show the other side of the story which is of Karnataka's side... Then only we can understand the issue...
Thanks Mr Rocky and Fr Bolmax for this documentary.. Sad how we gave GOA into hand of leaders who have no clue of what they doing .. They have a vision for G20 but zero awareness for the basic necessities for Goans . Time For Change !
Brilliantly Explained - Thank You Fr. Bolmax - Now It's Our Turn To Act - The Least We Can Do Is Forward This Message To Atleast 10 Others Today - This Silently Murders God's Creation - Includes You & Me, Irrespective Of Statehood - Religion - Political Affiliation.
I'm from Karnataka, the mahadayi issue is promoted to us saying that our cities & people need drinking water, but centre isn't allowing us to construct dam. Now I know it's the agricultural & industrial capitalists who are behind all this. I hate killing nature & people for profit of few & I'm sure all our fellow kannadigas also believe the same. People should understand that people of states aren't fighting, it's the war between rich & poor, where rich are lobbying to make more money by killing the nature & starving the poor. But we should also make sure that even Goan capitalists won't kill goans. That's why our govts act similar, both govts are helping those rich, being lobbied by them. I stand with our Goan brothers and sisters💜 ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ 💜 ಗೋವಾ.
Karnataka is portrayed as villain in this, ask your creator to visit north Karnataka and understand the water scarcity here, this story is incomplete until that. And here the numbers on water divided between states by Supreme Court not spoken which is strange.
@@veeresh1445 some fact checks. 1) North Karnataka is fed by the Malprabha river, which is a major tributary of the Krishna. The population of north Karnataka is growing by less than 1.5% every 10 years, and the Malprabha should have capacity to provide drinking water to this population for at least the next 40 years. BUT two industries that have recently come up are finishing all the water instead of it reaching the people. Sugarcane and Coal Power Plant. 2) The division of water was not ordered by the supreme Court but rather by an administrative tribunal. The award of the tribunal has been challenged by Goa and Maharashtra. 3) and most troubling to me, the Mhadei DPR proposes diverting the Mhadei water into the Malprabha river. Then it also gives a promise that the mhadei water will only be used for drinking. But majority of the water in the Malprabha is used for Sugar and Coal! The DPR does not mention how Karnataka is going to ensure that the water taken from Mhadei reaches the drinking needs of North Karnatakans. It is for these reasons that people like us are skeptical of the project.
@@tnoronha Since the Malaprabha is a only major river dependency on this is very high for Drinking, agriculture and power. It's different case with Goa where economy majorly run through Tourism n fishery, N'ka is depended on agriculture where water is required. Similarly tribunal allocated water as below. The Mahadayi Water Disputes Tribunal in its final verdict awarded 38.74 tmcft of water to Karnataka, Goa and Maharastra. Karnataka’s share is 13.46 tmcft of which 5.4 tmcft is for supplying drinking water to Hubballi-Dharwad and Belagavi region. The MWDT has allotted 24 tmcft to Goa and 1.33 tmcft to Maharastra. The Central Water Commission has recently approved Karnataka’s Detailed Project Report (DPR) on diverting Mahadayi water. Fyi Malaprabha is a very small river it's hardly able to fill the dam and hardly flow after the season. And the course of the river is dry most part of the year. As N'ka also progressing for development recently water need is also increasing and the Malaprabha can't meet the requirement.
Thanks Fr Bolmax Pareira. It’s was so nice to hear you. Could feel you spoke from bottom of your heart. I’m Goan origin and Goa is my soul. Thanks to the team Rocky Wilz to make us aware about this issue
Fr. Bolmax Pereira who is a Roman Catholic Priest is a Ph.D in Botany Science. This very high type of academic qualification of his also makes him an authority to talk and advise the public and politicians of Goa on Environment and Ecology Science.! I wish better sense prevails and we all listen to and follow Fr. Bolmax Pereira's suggestions and warnings in order to save Goan rivers and the most importantly the State of Goa and it's future survival of it's land and people. Finally a big thank you Mr. Rocky Wilz for your very important interview which now serves as a warning to all of us henceforth ! 🙏
Goa government has to teach and encourage rain water harvesting by every family as much as possible and provide services to do this for every house wherever it is possible.
Thank you Fr Bolmax, its a pleasure for us Goans to hv a highly esteemed priest among us, intentionally GOD made u a priest ,if you were not a priest, u also maybe like other men of Goa, would hv bn in out countries. I thank d Almighty GOD 🙏 for you my dear Fr Bolmax. Praying for you.!
I am from Maharashtra. I support Goa in this case rather I will demand Maharashtra government to support Goa by warning Karnataka that we can also divert Krushna river in Maharashtra which is going to damage them most.
Hello.....what is this "us" & "them" we are one country......we all belong to every part of our country.......don't generalize & don't demonize any State........based on facts & all sides of the story, resolve issues amicably
Tku sir for this reporting. What the priest says is absolutely right. Reporters like you play a very important in highlighting these serious issues of Goan people to outside world especially the environmentalists who can take up the issue by lobbying at right places for redressal of the drinking water & other issues of the affected people. The proffessor has sounded a serious warning to address these issues to prevent desertificatiin of Goa. We once again thank you for this eye-opening video & wish you all the best in your future endeavours 🙏🙏🙏
Would have been great to upload this video with subtitles from konkani to English so that this can be shared to all the world. The world truly needs to learn about this slow disaster and we need to start NOW to save our beautiful Goa
Very well Explained by Fr Bolmax Pereira. Thankx to Rocky for your good work God bless u'll. We all shud support them for Mahadei issue problem. Thankx 😮❤
Thank you Fr. Bolmax for the explanation and awareness you have created. God Bless you Fr. for all the efforts you put in to save Goa. 🙏🙏 Thank you Rocky Wilz for covering this imp. topic 👍👍
Even Mangalore and Udipi aka Tulu Nad the Netravati river has been diverted to interior part of Karnataka Kannada imposition on Tulu Nad, Big Big factories dropping chemicals into rivers of Mangalore and Udupi, cutting down trees and river diversion truly Karnataka is acting villain among all neighborhood states
Thank you Rocky for enlightening us with such an informative video and thar too through an expert like rev fr Bolmax who has beautifully explained this very well. We now need to do our bit to save our Goa. Thank you.
