 6. The thoughts and anxieties going on peoples mind was constantly tracked and where needed psychological help provided.

10. The dependents of the employees were flown from outside Mumbai to Mumbai and taken care off in terms of ensuring mental assurance and peace. They were all accommodated in Hotel President for 3 weeks.

11. Ratan Tata himself asked the families and dependents as to what they wanted him to do.

12. In a record time of 20 days, a new trust was created by the Tatas for the purpose of relief of employees.

13. What is unique is that even the other people, the railway employees, the police staff, the pedestrians who had nothing to do with Tatas were covered by compensation. Each one of them was provided subsistence allowance of Rs. 10K per month for all these people for 6 months.

 a. Full last salary for life for the family and dependents;

 b. Complete responsibility of education of children and dependent  anywhere in the world.

c.Full Medical facility for the whole family and dependents for rest of their life.

d. All loans and advances were waived off irrespective of the amount.

e. Counselor for life for each person

B. Epilogue

 How was such passion created among the employees? How and why did they behave the way they did?

The organization is clear that it is not something that someone can take credit for. It is not some training and development that created such behavior. If someone suggests that  everyone laughs. It has to do with the DNA of the organization, with the way Tata culture exists and above all with the situation that prevailed that time. The organization has always been telling that customers and guests are priority.

The hotel business was started by Jamshedji Tata when he was insulted in one of the British hotels and not allowed to stay there.He created several institutions which later became icons of progress, culture and modernity. IISc is one such institute. He was told by the rulers that time that he can acquire land for IISc to the extent he could fence  the same. He could afford fencing only 400 acres.

When the HR function hesitatingly made a very rich proposal to Ratan he said do you think we are doing enough?

The whole approach was that the organization would spend several hundred crore in re-building the property why not spend equally on the employees who gave their life?

                              MY VIEWS 

Many thanks to them who forwarded the msg. Its ridiculous to watch opposite action of Tatas in case of Singur village under Hooghly district of West Bengal where the corporate forgot social responsibility towards landless, marginal land owners in thousands those became the victims of a proposed automobile industrial estate. Those victims might not have killed or made physically handicapped by terrorists bullets but obviously suffered the same trauma once police and harmads drove them forcibly out of their farm land and made them beggar overnight. The minor girls and women were molested, raped and killed besides causing physical torture and arresting on false charges to hundreds of innocent protesting forcible acquisition of their farm land. The whole of Bengal raised voice against CPM harmads and condemned Tatas for encouraging inhuman action by the state administration. The Tatas were condemned world wide.

It should not be forgotten that corporates worldwide behave brutal once their attempt for investment of capital at the cost of human sufferings is resisted. Corporate responsibility means to build up image in the society and safeguarding of uni-national and transnational capital and it also means to extend relief package to the section of people live as parasites of those multinational and transnational corporate capital. And M/s Tata & Sons belongs to the same category.

God disposes But Man proposes For Black Money

Baba Ramdeb did the fast en-mass to invite attention of the Indian Prime Minister and his manager to initiate strong steps to bring back money from foreign countries to the coffer of the government in order to removal of the poverty from the country forever. The government sent emissaries to negotiate with Ramdeb and his disciples at Ram Lila ground in New Delhi and claimed they accepted 99% demands of Ramdeb that mostly of common men’s concern except black money. Some hand written notes of one Acharya of the team suggested ending of the fast and resumption of 5 days TAPA (chanting mantras in Pranayam) since the government responded in positive. The emissaries again assured to send detail moves the government will initiate for black money.
 

Babaji suddenly said no to end his fast on protest. A lawyer turned minister threatened if the government learnt to accommodate demands; it also knew to crush a senseless movement of Ramdeb and his followers with strong hands. Babaji termed the minister’s move a treachery as why he showed the hand written assurance of the Acharya on mutual settlement of the issues raised to the press media. He challenged the government to take harsh action against him. He sought intervention of the Prime Minister.

But no one intervened other than armed police force jumped upon some 20000 citizens of different age groups including minors assaulting many and dispersed them at midnight from Ram Lila ground. Babaji flew away to Hardwar to resume his fast. The same government that negotiated issues of public interest started behaving opposite and started campaign that Baba’s activities sponsored by Sangh Parivar including BJP, the main opposition party in the Parliament.

Let us not loss our faith over our veteran Prime Minister who should also respect the right to information of Indian citizens to know those agreed or assured issues arrived between the two sides and what were the proposed steps of the government to unearth black money talked about by the government during the course of negotiation with Ramdeb ji.

Its man proposes but God disposes as could be seen while Dr Monmohan Singh advocates himself for inclusion of the Prime Minister in the Lokpal, a powerful section surrounding him is saying opposite. The crooked fox shouts the same voice in case of back money as against the desire of the PM. WHY ?

Showering blessings - My Kid Victorious

I am delighted and congratulations to the boy with best wishes for a bright future for him

Dr Sarma

He Said It Once

--- Winston Churchill...

[His speech at the time of India's Independence

Bill tabled in the British Parliament 64 years ago]

"Power will go to the hands of rascals, rogues, freebooters; all Indian leaders will be of low caliber & men of straw. They will have sweet tongues & silly hearts. They will fight amongst themselves for power & India will be lost in political squabbles. A day would come when even air & water would be taxed in India."

Today Anna Hajare and tomorrow Ramdev. These are voices against corruption in high places and criminals of black money makers flourished under protection of corrupt officers and staff, politicians of low caliber and men of straw. Undoubtedly Indian office establishment and its managers failed to deliver good governess in meeting the aspiration of the people.

Churchill was out of power at that time but his observation was nearly correct in the sense that power transferred to the stooges of British in 1947 were absolutely incompetent in running the business and deliver results. The conspirators in UK intentionally transferred power to the hands of rascals, rogues, freebooters and Indian leaders of low caliber & men of straw so that no question on millions of wrong doings by British Raj raised after their departure and their profit making operations from India remained smooth. Let us not be swayed with what a crooked man like Churchill once said about their colony. Let us fight for our own destiny by ourselves.

MY KID VICTORIOUS

What a sense of tranquility prevailed in my heart! My naughty kid who was about to be fired from his school for his extreme naughty behaviors ranked top among his school mates scoring above 90% marks in states secondary school exam. It has earned a good demand in a society that almost rejected him once upon a time. It was heartening to listen to those school teachers critical of my kid earnestly requested me not to transfer it to other school. It is really a good turn around and lets look ahead for his future.  

The Feminism backfired

The feminists now must learn its not the man its woman too deprives rights of the woman. The ladies who love to undermine men in general for damaging their desires, choices and passions in achieving what they like most must now repent for their senseless comments and wrong deeds. Let the good sense prevails amongst those snobby girls having devilish pleasures in condemning guys without sufficient reasons.  It’s a disease grown among working women. They do not really realize in doing so they have given birth too many Frankensteins among themselves. The fact remains that many women do not like upliftment of other women folks and block their prospect in life. In a recent case, a lady was forced to tender her resignation to her employer for reason that her due up-gradation to higher pay and promotion to a higher post was simply delayed thereby denied by one of her lady colleagues in an office establishment. The lady pretended to be intellectual followed feminist way of life and pegged many lines undermining so-called male domination in society was basically a patient of hypertension who even disregarded men and women of low profile now left none to say something aloud against injustice meted out to her. That’s the irony in this case.

Dr Sarma rightly suggests

Kumari Mamata Banerjee had come to our house, amongst other houses as she was contesting election against a CPM giant like Somnath Chatterji and sought our support to win in the Parliamentary election in 1984. She won the election in a comfortable margin. I remember that in talking to my mother she went to the kitchen. As my mother was cooking on a coal-oven, Mamata  sat on the floor of the kitchen to be able to talk to my mother while my mother was squatting on the floor to make things ready for cooking. That demonstrated her simplicity. There is no doubt that her unquestionable honesty is the backbone of her strength. I think people like Sekhar Roy needs to associate with her for her success.
