"As told by someone from Tata Administrative Services:
Few months after 26/11, Taj group of Hotels owned by TATAs launched their
biggest tender ever for remodeling all their Hotels in India and abroad. Some
of the companies who 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 up with Ratan Tata since he was not giving them any prior
appointment.
They were made to sit at
the reception of Bombay house and after few hours message was conveyed to them
that Ratan Tata is busy and cannot meet anyone without an appointment.
Frustrated these two Pakistan industrialists went to Delhi and through their
High Commission met up with than Commerce Minister Anand Sharma.
Sharma immediately
called up Ratan Tata requesting him to meet up with the two Paki Industrialists
and consider their tender "enthusiastically". Ratan Tata
replied...you could be shameful, I am not" and kept the phone.
Few months later when
Pakistani government placed an order of Tata Sumo's to be imported into
Pakistan, Ratan Tata refused to ship 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. You got to stand for something in your
life...else you will fall for everything..........Awake Country men, Nation is
above everything else......"
