Tata the Man of Steel

Who was JRD? Frequently
referred to as the Man of steel... JRD Tata is the scion of the Indian technological
setup. JRD Tata believed in the concept that infrastructure building carried the
utmost importance in the society as of today.
The Tata group
as of date is recognized by the Indians not as an industrial powerhouse
but the utmost an individual or a group can do for a country. JRD
Tata was a true Indian at heart... unlike most industrial houses
and the politicians of today.
JRD
Tata... was a one man show! This one individual was able
to build the complete infrastructure our country India has as on
date. Most industrial houses believe and live on the surmise that
monetary gains are the first priority. For JRD Tata it was the last
priority.
JRD
Tata believed on the surmise that if the country grows by the grace of God
and countrymen... the Tata Empire is bound to grow. He was a true trustee in whose
hands the building of India was handed over by God
Almighty. He fulfilled his dream of building a strong infrastructure
for the country in his lifetime. Not
a single politician or a bureaucrat could ever corrupt his mind. He was a pillar
of faith
for his countrymen. The present generation always looked forward to what JRD Tata
was in his life. They not only learned their lessons in life by trying to emulate
his teachings to the society... but by practicing values for which JRD Tata stood
all his life. JRD
Tata was what he was! A pillar unto himself! He was an embodiment of true love
for his countrymen. During the lifetimes of JRD Tata nowhere in the total Tata
Empire one could find unethical practices in vogue. Some
of the prime teachings of JRD Tata include his passion for living as a true trustee,
remaining fair to all and sundry in every walk of life, never trying to undermine
the trust... his subordinates carried in him and themselves.
JRD Tata lived as a true trustee for in his lifetime he never built a house for
himself. According to JRD Tata life was to be lived only as a true trustee as
everything belonged to God Almighty. Being a mere caretaker in the hands of God...
JRD Tata did what a true trustee is desired to do.
His
arguments for not building his house was that if he had ever built a house of
his own then it was possible that his wife may ask for building a house befitting
his status. If that was so then it would not be possible for JRD Tata to match
the likings and preferences of the Saudi kings who had the fittings in their bathroom
made of gold and diamonds.
To avoid the day-to-day bickering JRD made Taj Mahal Palace Hotel
his home. In this hotel he had two presidential suites built. One
he used for himself and the other was only available for the highest
executives of various countries. And JRD Tata used to say that his
most important businesses were conducted by him while traveling
in the lift with these executives.
What
an extraordinary fait accompli JRD Tata had!
Living as a true trustee...
JRD Tata believed in the fact that the total worth of Tata Empire was never owned
by him. In dealings where vested interest dissolves forever... the outcome is
always bright and favorable. JRD Tata believed in the true value of a human
being and in return people believed in him.
Such
was the belief in JRD Tata that even one verbal commitment from him was enough
for the society. No pondering over the written facts... JRD Tata always believed
in what a human being stood for. He had tremendous faith in his employees and
in return the employees... the workmen believed in him from their heart.

The Tata Empire is primarily responsible for building the entire technological
infrastructure of the country. This inculcates such a feeling of enthusiasm and
patriotism among the young generation of today that India still survives the onslaught
from the corrupt political and the administrative Arena. If
life is to be lived truly it must be lived on the same terms as lived JRD Tata.
To emulate JRD Tata in practical life is a gigantic task but not unachievable.
If JRD Tata could do it then the common man of today can also do it! For it is
the truth behind the dealings which paves way for the strength in character requisite
of becoming one like JRD Tata.
Air India, Tata institute of social sciences, Tata institute of fundamental research,
Taj group, Tata memorial hospital are some of the mementos presented by the doyen
of Indian industry, a pioneering aviator popularly known as JRD or jeh to the
society.
