Mallu and Mullai (I mean the Mullaperiyar)

Mullaperiyar (Mullaiperiyar is the term our brothers on the other side use.) is the one of the buzz words in the Mallu world today. What is this Mullaperiyar? How ar Mallus and Mulla are associated. Let me briefly give an account. Mullaperiyar (Forgive me, my brothers on the other side of the border) It is a huge dam built across River Periyar in Idukki (A small district in the Mallu world). It is an century old building built during the days of vellakkaran (whitemen or we call them British). During the British days, Madras Presidency was ruled by white men and a piece of Mallu land (interestingly, there was no united Mallu land then) It was artificially metamorphosed into a single piece years later. The British signed an agreement with the Travancore King (Ruler of Mallus in the south) to build a dam, and as per the provisions, water from the Mullaperiyar dam should be shared between Madras and Mallu land. (You know, a part of the present day Mallu land was part of Madras land those days) I think that is the reason why Malabaris (Northern part of present Mallu land) show less interest in Mullai dam. The main purpose of British men was to serve their business interests. However, when the white men left, the left an array of problems behind them in our country. One of the problems was this Mallu dam.
Now, after a century plus years, Mallus have suddenly found the dam is not strong enough to hold water at the stipulated level. They have found many holes and cracks (technically, seepage) in and around the dam. And now Mallus think the dam is going to give in. If the dam bursts, Mallu world will be forced to redraw the map of this Mallu land. Why? It is sure at least four of the districts in the Mallu land will be wiped off. So, Mallus are scared. So, we decided to build a new dam to store water. However, that is not the end of the problem. You know we, in our country, prefer to fight with our brothers. It is like the story of Abel and Caine in the Bible. We don’t trust each other. We fight like two warring nations. We need to balance our findings. Our brothers on the other side of the border, called Tamils, will be without water in four of their states if the Mullaperiyar dam is destroyed. They are afraid the Mallus may not respect their rights, if a new dam is built. Their fear is reasonable. We never respect others rights. We don’t do that in our household in the mallu world. So, Tamils started protesting against Mallu’s move. I don’t know where this is going to end. Though I am a Mallu by birth, my loyalty is not with Mallus. I am an Indian first, not a Mallu. So, I am worried.
