Few months after 26/11, Taj group of hotels
launched their biggest tender ever, for remodeling all their hotels in India and abroad. Some of the companies which applied for that tender were Pakistanis. To make their bid stronger, two big industrialists from Pakistan visited Bombay House (Head office of Tata in Mumbai), without an appointment, to meet Ratan Tata, as he was not giving them any prior appointment. They were made to sit at the reception of Bombay house and after a few hours a message was conveyed to them that Ratan Tata was busy and would not meet anyone without an appointment.
Frustrated, these two Pak industrialists went to Delhi and thru their High Commission met a Minister, Anand Sharma, who immediately called Ratan Tata requesting him to meet the two Pak
Industrialists and consider their tender "sympathetically". Ratan Tata replied..."you could be shameless, I am not" and he put the phone down. Few months later, when Pakistani government placed an order for Tata Sumos to be imported into Pakistan, Ratan Tata refused to ship even a single vehicle to that country.
This is the respect and love for motherland that Ratan Tata has. Something that our current politicians should learn from. Hats off to you sir..
Awake, pl awake.... my countrymen, the Nation is above everything else, when you wld realise it. If our nation survives we'll survive... The need of the hour is to unite against all those forces who are bent upon weakening it.
