When no consensus was reached through negotiations, the Supreme Court was approached. In response to that,Kerala government enacted Irrigation and Water Conservation Amendment Act, and put the second schedule of Mullaperiyar Dam as endangered and fixed its maximum water level to ft.

In , the apex court declared the Act unconstitutional and restrained Kerala from interfering with the rights of Tamil Nadu in raising the water level in the dam to feet. The Kerala government has been at many times emphasising the urgent need for the gradual release of water. What is the standpoint of Kerala government? Dam safety - The Mullaperiyar dam suffers from structural issues and the possibility of a dam-break cannot be ruled out.

The dam is located in an earthquake-prone area and small-time earthquakes that had happened in and caused some cracks in the dam. The leakage in the dam is another cause of concern. The technology which was put into use for constructing the dam years ago was obsolete compared to the sophisticated construction methods used now.

According to the UN University report, 35 lakh people in Kerala will be directly hit in the case of a dam-break. It will also have its impact on the National Periyar Park which hosts some of the endangered species.

For Tamil Nadu the Mullaperiyar dam is like a lifeline for the people of Madras Presidency for irrigation and drinking The dam is also significant for the generation of the power in lower Periyar water station as the region is is shadow and arid. So, the government of Tamil Nadu insists on raising the water level in the dam pointing out the failure of crops. The government has also asserted that it has full right over the control of the dam. What are the other river water issues between both the states?

India is without question going to be one of my most difficult choices. It has such a rich and varied literary tradition that I could easily spend a decade just reading Indian books. Pingback: Reading my way through summer « Life in Ljubljana.

He is one of the very best-known writers in English within India, but he is virtually unknown without. His style is crisp and pared back, almost Hemingway-esque without the machismo. He has a wry naughtiness on par with Roald Dahl, and his short stories are perfectly formed little nuggets — either wickedly funny, or with gut-punch impact. The Portrait of a Lady: The Collected Short Stories, would be a good choice, but better still would be his magnificent little novel Train to Pakistan, the single greatest literary response to the partition of India, angry and erudite but with a very simple presentation.

I read it in one sitting first time around, and the final page had me physically trembling…. Khushwant Singh sounds great. Who knows, I may even mention your comment in my post! Anyway, this inspired me to maybe try and keep a list like that.

I want to visit every country in the world so figures I could try and read a book from every country first :D. You have just made my day. For some reason, there seem to be loads of Czech authors whose works have been translated but very few Slovakians — do you have any idea why this might be? So the czechs made an impact with writers like Kundera who became immensely popular in the western world not so much in czech republic as he was a commie when young and Kundera is trying to hide it.

So the czechs made an impact and were relatively popular, however few years after the velvet revolution the western media stopped caring about these countries, and the publicity stopped. The czechs were already known and in demand, they were bohemian after all, and were better at selling themselves. I did the Slavonic studies module which was great fun although they talked about Czechoslovakia there was rarely ever mention about any slovaks, even though the module included hungary who are anything but slavs.

This is fantastic!!! It is a great book and it was recently on at the National Theatre. Thanks very much Michelle. Sounds great. I love your blog! For the Philippines, you must read Ilustrado by Miguel Syjuco. Thanks for a great site. Really enjoying myself, definitely adding to my to-read pile. Brilliant stuff — just the encouragement I need as I get in from an evening out and sit down to being the next post….

This site will be very useful to you, because we are doing something similar. Good luck and enjoy your reading! Marvellous — thanks. Great to hear from fellow literary globetrotters. I am a proud Moldovan!!! Do you have any recommendations of novels, short story collections or memoirs I might be able to read in English translation? Great — thank you. I will try to get hold of a copy of Moldavian Autumn. This is SUCH a cool idea!!!!!! I love learning about other cultures, and I think one of the best ways to immerse yourself is to read their literature.

This is a brilliant idea. I wish I had come across this blog earlier. I think I might take this reading list and make it my own! Pingback: read 3 books a month pontify. Very nice, inspiring list. I am from Hungary, so I looked at your Hungarian choices with special curiosity, it was interesting to see, what would someone from an other country choose to read.

I have to say, you made some very nice picks there! It is a very powerful book. Sorry, misspelled it: Fatelessness. Love your blog. If you need some inspiration for Dutch books, I have a new blog focussing on Dutch Literature: littledutchbook.

I would definitely put Discovery of Heaven by Harry Mulish on your list. And if you can find it Out of Mind by Bernlef, very powerful book! Happy reading! Thanks very much for these. I am thrilled to find your blog! Wow, what a great and ambitious reading list! I was happy to find some books under Oman, where I am living now as an expat. I will have to get my hands on those books. Are you only reading novels, because the true story Eleni Greece is amazing as well.

I look forward to following your quest. I too love reading books that are set in other countries, written either by native writers or expats who have traveled or lived in those countries. But my list is determined by my travel dreams. Good to hear from you. Wow, Oman must be a fascinating place to live. Oh dear, I realized after I sent the comment that you were probably only including native writers. He actually was born and lived in Greece until he was 9 or 10, at which time his mother sent him away to America to his father.

Because the Communists in Greece were taking children from their parents to indoctrinate them in Soviet bloc countries, she defied them and snuck Nicholas away. For that she was killed and this is the story of her life. So I would consider him a native writer. But it definitely has been an experience! Pingback: A Year of Reading the World.

Also, could we have a shortlist of your favourite discoveries from the project? Thanks for sharing your adventures with the great reviews!

Yes, there are plenty of things that should be translated out there. Portuguese- and French-speaking African countries are particularly badly served when it comes to translation. All the best for Great project, Ann! Lovely to meet another Cantabrigian in the blogosphere I went to Newnham.

The Girl in the Mirror.

Great author. Afghanistan — The Bookseller of Kabul — written by a Norwegian journalist Asne Seierstad though, so not sure where or if it would fit in. In your initial post, I read your musing on the definition of country and it reminds me of that in some ways. Rigoberta is a member of an indigenous group and the book recounts the plight of her people.

All the best. Thanks — it sounds great.

Thanks for the comment. How on earth did you read all those books in one year. I think it was just about being organised and more than a bit obsessive. I worked out how many pages I had to read each day and stuck to it. Hi, For the obsure books that you had either had translated or had one of kind mailed to you. Is it possible for you to host them somewhere so that the rest of us could read? I am planning on using your list as a guide and read all the books you listed, just not sure I will be able to get hold of some of them.

Hopefully this project will encourage publishers to make them and other books like them more accessible to other readers. Thanks for your comment.

This blog is a information storehouse for readers. For India you can also add tagore works. I have read a few of them. Yes — I love Tagore.

I hope you enjoy the Lebanese literature in personal combination of French, Arabic, and English , the Arabic literature in specific, and global literature in general!
