Thanks Dr. B. But I suspect, its a bit more than that. As Ratan Tata is a well-known name, it might look good for some ethinic group or the other to claim "Ratan is one of us". In this case a Gujarati.
Dilip da mentions some Parsees in Venezuela who have adapted very well. That is a plus for the Parsees. I think, though the Tatas settled down in Jamshedpur, but of course they have operations world-wide. But, I agree with you regarding the car's impact in Assam. It will be a big problem for states with fewer resources to handle the onslaught of such cheap cars. The Assam Govt. might want to impose a levy or tax for road improvements (expansion) on the Nano (and also all vehicles). But, I am dreaming. The only thing that will happen is that there will be a tax, but the roads will remain the same.
