I am afraid Wall Street Journal is attempting some mischief by giving a religious colour to Premjis's acheivement. Let us be careful Let us not fall a prey to Wall Street Journal's ulterior motives. Premji is first an Indian and like any Indian, he made use of the opportunities available in a democracy to work hard and prosper. In the process he has also created lot of employment opportunities to deserving and qualified professionals without going into the religion of his prospective employes. He has also created welath to the shareholders of his business group. Let there be more premjis, Tatas,Ambanis, etc. Let us not envy them.

Rajasekaran,
You are dead on target.
Why religion has to be highlighted in Premji's case? The same also goes for Sania. They are from India and religion is a private matter. For all you know, they may be more religious than others, who wear theirs on their sleeves for all to see, to camaflouge their real intentions.
I have enough of these religious fanatics who act as if they are directly in touch with God. The fact of the matter is, nobody has seen God and if otherwise, please identify and step forward. Sometimes, atheists are more human than the marching religious zealots, who have created hell on earth.
As God is beyond this universe, as he has created this outfit, people like Premji has proved to be a good human being and that he is a muslim does not really matter for the success achieved by him.
These types of articles serve only to divide people who are easily influenced. In that case, every article should highlight the religious affiliations of the persons involved. May be, only we deserve this special treatment.
May be the author had good intentions, but even good intentions can create havoc if wrongly highlighted and goes to wrong hands.
Let us not start another pointless controversy -my God is greater than yours etc - as it is easier to find faults in others.
