The unions etc seem pretty positive about Tata and JLR, which reminds me of something.. During Mittal takeover of Arcelor, some Arcelor leaders promoted an alternate Russian steelmaker as a better choice; I believe Dolle was racist and spoke glowingly of Severstal as a 'European solution'.... BUT .....

India's image would be much more positive if India was not so closely associated with terrorism. In Canada, Sikh Khlaistan terrorists blew up AI jet, so the word 'India' is associated with turban wearing people who blow up planes! In UK and Australia too, with these Muslim Indian doctors being impl...

I think Suzuki, Hyundai, and GM Daewoo are potentially three brands that could really be winners in the global auto race. And the best part is, two of the three are closely tied to India.

It is, isnt it?

With their kereitsu and protectionsism, I find Japanese auto industry to be especially messy. They have way too many auto manufacturers, many of whom are being cross-subsidized and kept alive by other lines of bizness. Look for a major shakeout among that pack.

I feel that it would be a mistake to copy the US model of transport, where everyone has a car. In stead India has to come up with integrated public transport models. Most of the population is centred arround clusters. I really want to address this point. India is a 3rd world country because its peo...
