People Say Tata are ethical.. But Chanakya has said " Business and ethics dont go hand in hand". Tata or Narayan murthy of Infosys may wear mask of ethics but truth is every corporate in India and all over world are grown on basis of manipulation and unethical work.But unethical means varies from corporates to corporates.Reliance may do more,tata may do less-- But every corporate does unethical work.Talking about bribes even Tata have paid bribes- So no ones saint in corporate world. Now let us come to the moot point :
First, let your own land or house or property gobbled up in the interest of an industry and then comment. This is the most fertile zone of WB. Some distance way in infertile land other industries are coming up without any difficulty. Ratanji made several mistakes which he might not acknowledge but remains answerable to shareholders and making the industrial climate state of WB, and the country hostage first with his follies and then with veiled threats. He is trying to equate Nano with India iteself which is a dangerous thing to do.First, let be Nano on road for few years, perform and then we start clapping. Now onto his mistakes

i)Why did he only depend on only overwhelming majority of CPIM in state of WB, not bothering to talk to prinicipal oppositions or local people as in politics things might change. Did he believe that CPIM is ruling Bengal for 30 years and will continue to do so for another 30 and he doesn't need to bother??ii) underestimating opponent - in nano naming function he said that he wanted to name it 'Buddha', 'Mamata' and 'despite Mamata' thinking the battle is already won. One can make fun of his friend if he doesn't mind but wasn't it prematured to make fun of Mamata (iii) Ratanji very boisterously said that some other car manufacturing co. is instigating trouble in Singur, he has proof and would reveal it at appropriate time. When will that time come now that he is deciding to leave Singur, eating his own words?iv) what if supreme court says the method in which a fertile, irrigable land was acquired without owner's consent in the name of public interest and given to a private profit making company is illegal? did he ever look at legal, constitutional issues? Tatas have many other manufacturing facilities in WB doing very well and nobody opposes it.

Why is it here? One should have the patience to understand the problem and act like a narcisist. What is then the way out? The middle path proposed is to retain 600 acres as required solely by tata motors to be there where it is, remaining 400 acres required for ancillary units to be moved to few km away in a low lying land which is not as fertile. It may increase the cost of the car by approx. 5000 INR. Is this Ratanji's ego that 1 lakh is 1 lakh and if it is 1.05 is the ego is hurt or Nano becomes unprofitable? Which other car is competing with it in that price range? It is time accept mistakes and apologise to the people of Singur as well as shareholders of Tata Motors for the mistakes made by him and move forward or if the chorus, JLR acquirer's ego is so much inflated let the job be given to somebody else.I request the readers to take note of the fact how people in and around Singur oerwhlmingly voted for Mamata. These were the places where CPIM was ruling. Why is it so? In a democracy you should learn to respect peoples wishes. Unfortunately, very few of us believe in democracy and mostly feudal in nature. We want to decide what is good for others. We worry about youth not getting job if there is no industry because our kids are to serve in industry? Will we stop eating? Who will cultivate land and where? Industry can shift to an infertile land but cultivation cannot. We want others to sacrifice. How much sacrifice we ourselves have made?

Shushma, Your thoughts are basically saying the West Bengal politicians are public is way too screwed up.
TATA is business man and he doesn't need to go door to door to ask for permission. People of Bengal elected their government and TATA got approvals from them.. Period!!

Your thoughts are well compiled but too naive..I am sorry. And I bet Mamta and whoever his supporters are probably have similar thoughts as you do here.
Every businessman around the world is oppertumistic and that's what build the successful business empire. Looks at China, the most oppertunist country in the world and the growth they brought to their people. US the super power is another example.
West Bengal folks must understand the growth, infrastructure and benefits to the local that Tata will bring.
I have dealt with Tata and I must say it's one of the most uncorrupt company exist in India. I think the best move for TATA is to leave West Bengal and move some where else. And the time will show Bengal what they have lost..
