ONE OF THE BOOKS BANNED IN INDIA: THE POLYESTER PRINCE; THE RISE OF DHIRUBHAI AMBANI IS SELLING LIKE HOT CAKES ON THE STREETS OF MUMBAI. INSIDE IS THE STARTLING REVELATION THAT THE AMBANI FAMILY HAD PLOTTED TO MURDER NUSLI WADIA. THE AUSTRAILIAN JOURNALIST HAMISH MCDONALD WAS THE REPORTER WHO WROTE THE BOOK, UNRAVELLING THE PLOT.
Wadias, Tatas, Jeejeebhoys, and Godrejs are among several families that have contributed in no small measure towards the industrial and economic advancement of their community. One such family has for the last 250 years taken on the challenge of industrial entrepreneurship with great success and provided tremendous resources for their community’s well-being – that family is the Wadias.
Even today the Wadias lead the pack of the mega industrialists of India. With their unique multi-ethnic, multi-religious marriages and culture the Wadias are no less than any European business family. They can easily said to be the desi version of the Rothchilds.
From Lovji Nusservanji Wadia, whose date of birth is unknown, died in 1774 establishing a shipping empire to Nusli Wadia of Bombay Dyeing all had devotedly and loyally stuck to their morals and sincerity of purpose to develop their community. Just recently the Wadias flew to Pakistan in their private jet and relished the food in Lahore and mixed with a few select of the country. The visit was not made public. It is said Dina, too, was accompanying them - Dina is based in New York, Nusli shuttles between USA and India and Ness, well, he is another story that we will mention later in this article.
