Whether ppl like it or not... money talks. Those who don't accept it are the ones who either dont have it or are commies. This dude is spending his money the way he likes. Let him live in peace and build his goddamn tomb or whatever :P.
 
People tend to forget this is a free country, and a person is free to spend his/her money the way he wants to . People debating that person's spending habits are wasting their time :) .

You're thankful because you don't have to grow your own food. But there are others that do it for you, and they're starving themselves thanks to this great balanced "economy" of ours. When there are no more farmers, because they may all want to become Ambanis as well, you can say goodbye to your life.

You caught the wrong man there buddy, I eat food grown in my own fields, by my own family, YES, if u're wondering, that's correct, and I can most certainly say that if anything, farmers are now better of in this society than they ever were, machines make it easier..... so don't even try to feed me that BS, where did u get the Idea that "someone has to suffer" if other is enjoying the luxury, today's world is better than any other that has been, and tomorrow shall be even better, u see corruption/murder/terrorism around....... but every time had it bad my friend.

Money talks, and it talks about our greed and indecency - the primordial flaws of our nature. While we're at it, why not accept that it's not all rosy about the humans, that we are far from the mythical perfect, peaceful and merciful creature that we like to portray ourselves as. Let's accept that any one of us will topple another for the slightest of benefit. That the businesses don't give a damn about the people, their health and well-being. That everything goes in the name of development, making money and earning a living.

When we're done accepting the truth, money will still be talking - but it won't make a sense anymore. You'll want to cover your ears and open your eyes.

If u say u were rich, and would've donated ur money away, and If I were to believe you, I'd respect that.

An Idealist would serve the cause, and not complain about others not doing so.

so then I ask, who is the one that complains????
 
Agent Smith did get it right - Human Beings are just a virus :P

I remember reading in the papers about some court case filed by an environmental group. The judge ruled against them, and stated that this Planet has been provided for consumption by humans, along with all its natural resources.

Whoah, where did this come from..

I don't think anyone would not be upset at the plight of the farmers.

This article did a good job on the subject. I didn't even know that there is the (Agriculture Produce Marketing Committee) Act which *prohibits* farmers from selling their produce directly to consumers. That to me would be a good thing to remove, since it wont give the middle men any legal basis to bully farmers into submission. Let's see if any politican(s) are willing to risk their necks to do this....

Do you think Mukesh Ambani may be able to make a difference here ?

..not really his domain of expertise, but if he put his money into getting to know it, instead of blowing it on his house.

Didn't mobile phones help ppl in finding out market prices and such..

I remember this one too. That judge was an idiot, just like plenty of others. And it's a shame that people like these get to decide the fate of other humans.
 
Well, i think, everyone's got just one life..and in tht one life everybody tries to achieve whatever he wishes for..some succeed..some dont...but those who do, try to reap in the fruits of their hardships (or by whatever way they earned it), by fulfilling their dreams. A very poor beggar wud dream of owning a small hut he cud call his own, a lower middle class guy wud wish to get atleast a 1bhk flat for himself and his family, a well earning middle class guy wud love to enjoy his hard earned money by getting a spacious house in a decent enuf locality in his city, get a decent car, pretty upmarket gizmos to flaunt..:PSame way, these rich guys wud like to flaunt their wealth by building mammoth structures in the name of homes..its just the desire to do something bigger and better than your dads and grand dads..

the younger ambanis have lived in luxury thru out their lives..so this is just their way of going tht one step further to enjoy the luxuries they so desire to have..to a common man, it may seem like an extravagant expenditure, (sometimes because they cudnt afford such luxuries) but for these czars, its just a way of enjoying their lives and to make a statement...afterall like all others, they have just ONE LIFE....!! ;)
 
I agree with Sandy, the Ambanis' father worked real hard so his kin would live decent lives unlike him. Now his sons are too in the business and despite having a headstart it's not exactly a cakewalk for them to run such a vast company, saying they don't work hard....psssh.

And about flaunting wealth....meh! Have a peek in the show off section :P
 
One issue - Do you guys know what the land was used for earlier?

It was a Muslim boy's orphanage, run by the Wakf board. Mukeshbhai bought off those people.. the market value of the plot was ~70 crores, he paid 38 crores officially. There was a Wakf board inquiry into the sale, but he got it hushed up.

I'll post snaps of the building here. Live just around the corner.
 
^^Now that is definitely disgusting news to know. Did they actually relocate the orphanage or just send the children onto the street?
 
^^ with 40 crores and who knows how much under the table, the orphanage ca go to any decent place outside mumbai and help even more kids if they want.
 
That really is sad... but honestly, I find it hard to believe that the orphans were just sent away. I am sure they were relocated.

With today's media, if there was an issue there, the media sure as hell would have raised a stink. And that too, this being Mukesh Ambani.

Let's not jump to conclusions regarding this... maybe the orphans are better off now... I sure hope so.
 
Where will the Orphans go Mr Ambani?

A Trust running an orphanage, recently sold off the orphanage premises to the Scion of the corporate world

By Mohammed Hanif

Mumbai: Time and again, the nexus of bureaucrats is encroaching on the rights and properties belonging to the deprived sections. In Mumbai, a Trust running an orphanage recently sold off the orphanage premises to the Scion of the corporate world.

But Minister-in-charge of the Waqf Board, Syed Ahmed, had spoken to the Reliance Group chairman Mukesh Ambani who has plans to build a house in Altamount Road. The minister says the Waqf Board and the state government had asked the state’s charity commissioner to transfer all properties belonging to Muslim charity organisations to the Waqf Board in 1998. “Despite the order, the charity commissioner, instead of transferring the property to the Waqf Board, went ahead and sold it to Mukesh Ambani, which is a clear violation of the rules. The charity commissioner had no right to sell a property that belonged to the Waqf board. “The newly-constituted Waqf board has stayed all such deals,” says Ahmed.

Ambani, bought a sprawling property in the South Mumbai locality that houses the country’s rich and famous. The property, spread over one acre, comprises an old bungalow where a private trust runs an orphanage. The deal was reportedly worth Rs 20 crore. But Syed Ahmed, minister of housing and the Waqf Board, said the deal has been stayed as it had “violated rules”. However, a spokesperson for Ambani told Islamic Voice that, all permission from the government and other authorities was in place for the transaction. Ambani had a different story to tell. “This piece of land never belonged to the Waqf Board, and so the question of getting the Board’s permission does not arise,” says a spokesperson for Ambani. The spokesperson said the land belonged to the Karimbhai Trust, which was running an orphanage. “They were looking for buyers and accordingly had advertised in newspapers and we were one of the bidders. We won as ours was the highest bid,” he said. The Waqf Board is not ready to buy Ambani’s argument. “The charity commissioner failed to perform his duty. Had he acted as per the decision, the land would have been in the Waqf Board’s possession,” the minister said. “The Board is firm in its decision. All deals that have taken place during this period have been stayed, no matter how big or small the person involved in it is,” says Ahmed.

For bad things to happen.

All it takes is for good people to look the other way and do nothing

the point here is......its the same old story if u have money u can buy any stuff whether its dhirubhai,anil or mukesh.....they change rule for their own and their company benefit......
 
See.... I hate this. Just because Mukesh is a rich man, everyone is now accusing him of bribing people to get the land.

see the article. It says "Karimbhai trust was running the orphanage and they advertised to sell te land. AMbani was the one who made the highest bid and bought it."

Why blame him ?? How in the world is he responsible for buying a land which was on sale ??

And the Wakf board is run by a bunch of morons. they are just getting a lot of publicity from this because it is an Ambani.
dont forget the Wakf board wanted the Taj Mahal to be handed over to them. Ridiculous.

This is the problem with most idiots in our country. They/You never see both sides of the problem.

Ambani is rich and influential and so, he MUST have bribed people to get his way.

Just because these celebs are sitting ducks, you keep targetting them. Why assume that he did a wrong thing ??

Why dont you see that maybe there is a possibility that Ambani was right this time. That he did buy the land from the trust because they advertised ?? You want to just take the Wakf Board's word on this ??

Sheeesh.... pathetic. This is what I absolutely loathe.
