Direct, collateral, vicarious, social, and humanitarian, as well as all other conceivable liabilities which, in these days, only exist in textbooks and public oratories of our so-called leaders, have also been taken care of by the TATA's. Let their tribe prosper. God bless the TATA's and give full success in all their ventures. The world needs them.
Actually, it's an eye-opener for all those who have conveniently forgotten their social responsibilities in their obsession to amass wealth. These days, we see only ruthlessness and merciless managements and promoters with a single-minded, selfish motive to enrich themselves beyond any remotely reasonable limits, sometimes even at the cost of national security and the well-being of its people.
If we, especially the fortunate among us, share the burden of the less privileged people, most of the ills of the world can be mitigated. For example, TATA's gesture makes all of us feel good. Why? In fact, some of us might have become emotional after reading this article, and that is the power of being good to others.
Factually speaking, governments should be headed by people like Ratan Tata so that resources will not become an issue for such exemplary acts. Most importantly, government coffers are for these purposes only and not for taking care of the security and well-being of corrupt and undeserving politicians and bureaucrats.
After coming to know of such a magnificent gesture, we should not sit quietly. Our conscience should always prick us towards this additional responsibility of ours, not only repeating these acts ourselves, if not literally, at least in spirit, but also ensuring that the social and service responsibilities of elected representatives and governments in place are properly delivered.
Thanks for posting the article.
