In a poignant tribute to the late industrialist Ratan Tata, Harsh Goenka, Chairman of the RPG Group, recently shared a picture of a heartfelt handwritten note penned by Tata in 1996. This letter, addressed to former Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao, highlights Tata's deep respect for Rao's "outstanding achievement" in implementing critical economic reforms in India.

Narasimha Rao, often referred to as the 'Father of Indian Economic Reforms,' played a pivotal role in reshaping India's economy during a transformative period in the 1990s. His leadership was instrumental in initiating changes that significantly altered the trajectory of the nation's economic landscape.

In the letter, Tata commended Rao for his vision in integrating India into the global economy. He wrote, “Every Indian should owe you a debt of gratitude for the courageous and far-sighted 'opening up' of India.” This acknowledgment reflects Tata’s belief that Rao's efforts not only revitalized the economy but also placed India firmly on the global map.

The letter serves as a powerful reminder of Tata's unwavering commitment to India’s progress and his recognition of leaders who have shaped the nation’s destiny. Sharing the letter on social media, Goenka remarked, “Beautiful writing from a beautiful person….”

The correspondence, dated August 27, 1996, is notable not only for its content but also for its personal touch, crafted on a sheet of paper from Bombay House, the headquarters of the Tata Group. In the letter, Tata expressed his dismay at the unkind references directed at Rao, emphasizing that while others may forget, he would always remember and honor the significant contributions Rao made for the country's economic advancement.

Tata's letter concludes with warm personal regards, underscoring the respect he held for Rao and his steadfast belief that the former Prime Minister's achievements should never be forgotten. This heartfelt communication encapsulates the deep bonds of respect and recognition between two influential figures in India's economic history.
