[edit] Course of Cauvery

The article says:

The southernmost portion of the plateau is drained by the Kaveri River, which rises in the Western Ghats of Karnataka and bends south to break through the Nilgiri hills at Hogenakal Falls into Tamil Nadu, then forming the Sivasamudram Falls at island town of Shivanasamudra, the second biggest waterfall in India and the sixteenth largest in the world,[7] before flowing into the Stanley Reservoir and the Mettur Dam that created the reservoir and finally emptying into the Bay of Bengal.

I think Shivanasamudra Falls comes before Hogenakal Falls in the sequence. Is it not? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.164.104.166 (talk) 13:17, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed bullshit

some animals are parakeets and crows

[edit] Maps

[edit] Dear Geologist ...

Well I was going to place the content removed here for consideration, but - found where it was copied from ... [1] --so I'll just leave it out as a case of blatant copyvio. Vsmith 23:54, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Average height

As per the article the plateau height varies like..

1,500 to 2,500 feet (450 to 750 m)

Bangalore, the largest city in the plateau is 900m from sea level. So there is some problem with the upper limit I think.--Sahodaran 12:39, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moved to talk page from History

In addition to this, modern study of monuments and inscriptions has recovered the names, and to a certain extent the records, of a succession of dynasties ruling in the Deccan; of these the most conspicuous are the Cholas, the Andhras or Satavahanas, the Chalukyas, the Rashtrakutas and the Yadavas of Devagiri (Deogiri). (In the interests of making this article more readable and accessible, I am removing detailed history here.) Sincerely, Mattisse

[edit] second footnote

I followed the link to the second footnote afte rhte statement that this region is 'one of the most stable in the world'and the site it linked to had no data supporting this claim. It didnt even appear to assert that either. Shouldn't that be removed?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.187.190.88 (talk) 22:07, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
