to Ratan Tata

Very few Indian companies take up their social responsibilities, Tata's is certainly the one of the very few in India. Sir, you have always been an idol to lots of educated and non educated Indians, your company has provided the livelihood for several families in this country. Unlike some other business houses you yourself dont believe in show of wealth like building skyscraper house amidst the poverty of Mumbai. Today your dream of Nano has come alive with countless Indians booking their nanos, some of them are not your average Indians , they are well off to do and are perhaps they have decided to present their newly 18 year old with a car with which he or she will drive to college with all pomp and glory! After all thats what we Indians can only do..its called show off.

I cant say if I lost my respect for you today, but certainly you cant be the man who will change India. Your business logic may be perfect but the social logic is way off the mark. Do you really think just those who have 2 wheelers will buy your nano, or rickshawalas will change one fine day to swanky Nanos? The Mumbai Pune expressway will be more accident prone when these show off types will cross the 100kmph barrier on your nanos, more chaos for sure! There will be more traffic Jams, more traffic hurdles, double line parkings even in your town area.

You know this country is manged by bunch of morons, they have no clue to what efficiency is, how creatively they could avoid congestions, traffic police are a joke they will stop rickshawalas for not wearing a badge but wont stop them for breaking lanes. My point being these idiots wont know what to do when your nano crowds up the streets.

I am sure you are not a man who is driven by money, rather by passion. You could have given indian cities a metro in every state rather than giving them a nano. This would have made you a real hero , but then who cares this country has many idiots and they will support your nano cause. I doubt your foresight, it's not a sign of a leader surely.
