Who this is
Industry — cotton first, then steel, hydro-electric power, scientific education and hospitality; founder of the house of Tata.
“He died with three of his four great dreams — the steel plant, the power scheme, the research institute — still unbuilt; his plans were so exact that his heirs built every one of them.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“A colonized country did not have to wait for its rulers to industrialize it. India could build its own steel, its own electricity, its own research university and its own grand hotel — and a plan made carefully enough can outlive the planner.”
