With the interstate dispute over Cauvery water sharing running since 1892, attempts at conflict resolution within the political and legal realms have failed to find a solution. This chapter conducts a qualitative framing analysis of editorials published in five newspapers. Three English newspapers, one language (Tamil) newspaper in the downstream state and one language (Kannada) newspaper in the upstream state were analysed. Since newspaper editorials are believed to impact public opinion and influence decisions, they were chosen for the analysis. Two years—1991 and 2007—were selected to sample newspaper editorials from The Hindu, The New Indian Express, Deccan Herald, Dinamani and Prajavani. In 1991, the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal passed an interim order, and a final verdict of the tribunal came in 2007, hence, these two years were chosen for sampling. The newspaper editorials discussed four approaches to resolving the conflict. The analysis indicated that most discussions were around the resolution of conflict through judicial and political means. However, a few of the sampled editorials also endorsed conflict resolution through initiatives from civil societies.
