Like all Indians this past week I watched as Ratan Tata kept his promise of a 1Lac car. How cool is that ???
I think its great that people who ride a motorcycle or scooter not because they want to but because they have to due to cost factors can now own a car.
I agree with Mr.Tata totally. By asking is it safe and worrying how so many Nanos will congest the traffic further we are missing the point.......a car will always be safer than a scooter ! crumple zones and airbags or not ! and instead of appreciating the man and company for making an affordable car for the truly middle-class....we blame him that he is going to congest roads !!! Is it his fault our 3rd rate excuse of a government hasn't invested in infrastructure ???
In other news, hats off to him again for opening a new Cancer hospital in Kolkata with 50 % (yes FIFTY) of the beds there available free to the poor.
In a time where Indians are popping left and right on the Billionaires list it is a matter of great shame that the only cancer hospital in Bombay is the one the Tata's started all those years ago. I suggest you drive past there one morning. Or even better stop and visit. And see the thousands of poor who come there for treatment. And how the staff and doctors selflessly helps them.
Bawas and their donations and giving rocks. No community has done as much for the poor of their own community as the bawas with their schools, hospitals, housing colonies and donations. Infact no community has done as much for Bombay. I am glad the east coast will now experience some of that.
