![]() ![]() He demonstrated talent pertaining to all four. You have written, “Dhirubhai was never simply an industrialist, a trader, a financial juggler or a political manipulator, but all four in one.” And he always tried to make friends with people by and large, on the off chance that they could be useful later on. He kept trying to become friends with Nusli Wadia right until his death. He would never accept somebody would be a permanent enemy. For example, the Indian Express camp later became friendly towards him. He was prepared to think that a person who was an enemy now could be made a friend and he certainly achieved that with a number of people. He basically made friends, friends who then became enemies and enemies who again became friends… And he could accept that and work with that. ![]() I think Dhirubhai was prepared that people would be friendly at one point and opposed at other.īasically they would have their own interests to defend. Was it Bismarck who said, there are no permanent friends or allies, just interests. I think it is very much a kind of realpolitik approach to people. Do you agree with the sentiment expressed in those words? ![]()
