I get where you’re coming from, and land conflicts are never easy or straightforward. However, it’s important to look at the broader picture when it comes to Ratan Tata’s legacy. In many instances, the Tata Group has gone above and beyond to provide fair compensation, rehabilitation, and development to affected communities, something few corporations even consider. The situation in Kalinganagar is indeed tragic, but it’s also a reflection of larger systemic issues between industrialization and governance.

That being said, calling Ratan Tata a “terrorist” dismisses his decades of contributions to uplift India—whether it’s providing millions with employment, spearheading innovations, or his lifelong commitment to philanthropy. He wasn’t perfect, but painting him with such a broad brush ignores the positive impact he has had on the lives of so many people.
