Great article but it should also mount a broader critique of the Tata group and its legacy, going back to Jamsetji Tata himself. I feel the Tata family has been romanticized to a disgusting degree as "anti-colonial nationalists" ignoring how much they represented the colonial native elite in British India, their hostility to the working class, how they treated Shapurji Saklatvala, the one member of their family to challenge and oppose capitalism, how they opposed Nehruvian social democracy (as problematic as Nehru was in other ways) and how they supported right wing nationalists like Sardar Patel. Not to mention the myth of the Tatas and Air India.

We need to drop the cult of Tata period
