[Assam] Thank you, Mr Tata, for thinking of the common man!

[Ram Sarangapani]

Thanks Dr. B.

But I suspect, its a bit more than that. As Ratan Tata is a well-known name,
it might look good for some ethinic group or the other to claim "Ratan is
one of us". In this case a Gujarati.

Dilip da mentions some Parsees in Venezuela who have adapted very well. That
is a plus for the Parsees. I think, though the Tatas settled down in
Jamshedpur, but of course they have operations world-wide.

But, I agree with you regarding the car's impact in Assam. It will be a big
problem for states with fewer resources to handle the onslaught of such
cheap cars.
The Assam Govt. might want to impose a levy or tax for road improvements
(expansion) on the Nano (and also all vehicles). But, I am dreaming. The
only thing that will happen is that there will be a tax, but the roads will
remain the same.
