True, and remarkable. I had the singular opportunity with my father in 1976
as a guest, to meet one of the Tatas at their offices in Bombay, and notwithstanding their incredible wealth, I came away much humbled by the gentleman's character and personality, and he made a lifelong impression on me.

Dear Supratic,

I have to agree with everthing, except you digression.

Pakistan has a sad legacy of Vaderaas/Zamindaars who hold eighty percent of
the population hostage. They force them into generation wise slavery and
keep them illeterate on purpose.

One thing I admire about India, is the way Nehru dislodged all princely
Haraamqoors, who were controlling large amount of people and resources to
their personal pleasures.

The wealth made by the Pakistani Vaderaas/Zamindaars is not the same wealth
the industrialist or businessman struggles to make, twelve, fourteen hours a
day, seven days a week, come winter or summer. In short, they have never done
one days of honest work either on their gardens, farms, businesses as a worker
rather than as a Master/Maalik.

However, as is the case in all areas, not all those people in Pakistan are
crooks, but, they are the main body against spread of education and development
in rural areas, which is a threat to their power and influence.
