Compassionate my ass!! which corporate major has any compassion except for its profits? So many people fawn upon the powerful, forgetting how it would feel to be at the receiving end of that same power. There is no way to become rich in this sordid capitalist world, other than by robbing, cheating, murdering and pillaging the world. That is what colonial was all about and that is what 1857 was all about. The entire range from the Scindias to every bloody maharaja we have today, were those whose families sided with the British, betrayed their own people and there after were rewarded for their unflinching loyalty to the crown. If I told you what the TATAs are up to in Kalinganagar, it would make your blood curdle. They have already got more than 16 people killed and are hell bent on killing as many more if needed to grab land that belongs to the Munda Adivasi. Jamsetji worked in his father's firm till the age of 29. In 1868, he started a trading company with a seed capital of Rs. 21,000. In 1869, he acquired a bankrupt oil mill in Chinchpokli, converted it into a cotton mill and renamed the mill to Alexandra Mill. He sold the mill two years later for a healthy profit. Thereafter he set up a cotton mill in Nagpur in 1874. He christened it Empress Mill on 1 January 1877 when Queen Victoria was proclaimed Empress of India. "Empress Mills"-nice patriotic name. TATAs continue to spin this yarn about their nationalist credentials. Well where did he get this "seed capital of Rs. 21,000"? and what would be Rs. 21,000 worth today? when at the time cost of gold was roughly ONE RUPEE AN OUNCE - while today it is above Rs. 39,000 an ounce!!! How can you be "compassionate" with thousands of crores when 600 million Indians dont even get two square meals a day. I mean what!!! Dont forget that JAMSETH TATA also built Tatanagar on the blood of BIRSA MUNDA who fought heroic battles against the British and that Rattan Tata's grandfather- the founder of TATANAGAR was a DRUG DEALER. The TATA's supplied opium to the British for the Opium wars in China and was requested to come to Jharkhand after the British crushed one of India's greatest patriots! So when Manmohan Singh went to Tatanagar to celebrate the birthday of Jamseth TATA, he was actually celebrating the anniversary year of the defeat of a heroic warrior who gave his life fighting the British!! But is true that drugs and arms are still the easiest way to make money !! Read American history on the murderous tales of how the Red Indians were driven to genocide by distributing blankets infected with small pox. The idea, apparently, came from Lord Amherst, in a letter of orders to Col Bouquet, saying “Could it not be contrived to send the Small Pox among those disaffected tribes of Indians? We must on this occassion use every stratagem in our power to reduce them”. Bocquet replied that he would try and use infected blankets as a means of introducing the disease among the Indians, but was wary of the effects that it would have on his own men. Bouquet then proposes using- in “the Spanish method”- a combination of hunting dogs, rangers and light horsemen, in an effort to “effectually extirpate or remove that vermin” at little risk to his own men. Amherst readily agreed, hoping that the use of smallpox infested blankets, as well as any other method be used that “can serve to extirpate this execrable race”, although he did not think that the hunting dog idea was practical. Or Agent Orange in Vietnam, Pizarro in Soth America, or the European barbarity in Africa…and the list is endless. Capitalism in all its forms only spawns hatred hatred and even more hatred. so if prostitution is “Legalised” and so is slave trade…should we be less distressed by the acts of these corporate sharks like the TATAs!!

Jamsetji worked in his father’s firm till the age of 29. In 1868, he started a trading company with a seed capital of Rs. 21,000.

Well where did he get this “seed capital of Rs. 21,000″? and what would be Rs. 21,000 worth today? when at the time cost of gold was roughly ONE RUPEE AN OUNCE – while today it is above Rs. 39,000 an ounce!!!

Funnily enough you did a lot of the things I did when researching the Sassoon family. Thanks and keep up the good work.

First about the re-written history. Yes in every era we have seen history was re-written to appease the rule, religious leaders, business men etc. in short history is alway what the existing power wants to showcase at the time. Behind every great fortune there is a crime. Honore de Balzac French realist novelist (1799 - 1850) Mario Puzo uses this quote effectively in Godfather. Even Nobel Prize that is associated with peace of all the things is sponsored by the fortune earned from the destruction causing dynamite that Nobel invented. Read it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Prize. It is nature's cycle of bad followed by good I guess. The bad at some point becomes a turning point for good. Secondly thank you for the love! Manisha, yes those are bombil and they are the freshest you can get, see the tautness and glistening skin, thats the mark. About the Tata's, I do not deny history about their beginnings or the scions that they are today. We must not forget they built this country with the industrial revolution they brought in India. Personally I admire the Tatas as 2 of my uncles have worked with them. One was incharge of the Tata's speed boat so had direct access to the scions JRD and Ratan. Both wonderful people, JRD was extremely compassionate. I have lived in their colony in my Uncle's home provide by the company and have seen how much they do for the employees. Which company ensures that even the employee's child gets a job in the company? Ofcourse that policy has changed abot 10 years ago as people started misusing it. Miri I don't endorse bad behaviour so what the Kolibai did was wrong but they do not have a enough room in the luggage compartment therefore they encroach on passenger area. Whom do we blame? Angela, sounds like Ferrao to me? The no.1 double decker bus and the fight for the front window seat on the top deck in the morning to school to experience the cool breeze blow into your face ...aha! Very long comments sorry to be hoarding the space. A huge thank you for writing about our Mumbai. Love yaa. Bee and Jai a wonderful post!
