Gwalior, Oct 23: “I think everybody knows where the intolerance is coming from, what it is. Like many thousands, millions of Indians, one wants to see a country without intolerance,” said Ratan Tata, Chairman Emeritus of Tata Sons. He termed intolerance as “a curse we are seeing of late”.
Speaking at the 119th foundation day function of Scindia School in Gwalior, just after the speech of Congress leader and parliamentarian Jyotiraditya Scindia, Tata reportedly said: “The Maharaja (Jyotiraditya Scindia) talked about intolerance. It is a curse we are seeing of late.”
PTI news agency quoted him as saying: “We want to live in an environment where we love our fellow men. We don’t shoot them, we don’t kill them. We don’t hold them hostages but give a bit of ourselves and we give and take.”
In his speech, former union minister Scindia had said that an environment of intolerance was prevailing in the country today. “An environment in which each one of us is told what to speak, what to hear, how to dress, what to eat,” he said.
