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

[Krishnendu Chakraborty]

Wiki defines Tata's as a a Gujarati-speaking Parsi
family.  Don't know the truth though.


>>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.
