How history will come full circle if Tatas buy Air India


NEW DELHI: If Tata Group buys a controlling stake in beleaguered national carrier Air India, as indicated by an ET Now report, the history will come full circle. The airline will go back to a group which had built and nurtured it into one of the world’s finest airlines until grasping and sloppy governments run it into the ground. 

The Tata’s purchase will also tell the cautionary tale of how unbridled socialism that thrived on rampant corruption stymied private enterprise in India . It will underline a lesson India has learnt the hard way—the government has no business to be in business. 


Tata Sons set up Tata Airlines in 1932. JRD Tata, the legendary entrepreneur, himself flew the first flight between Karachi and Mumbai. In 1946, Tata Airlines became a public company and was renamed Air India.
