Mukesh Ambani and India

Do you think that Mukesh Ambani has made India proud by becoming the richest person of the world?

first- he is not the richest person of the world second - even if he become, does that affect the living standard of millions of Indian people who do not get enough food to live.

Yes - I would be proud 1. Hes an Indian. 2. wud disagree wid abx. Mukesh cannot take responsibility of all millions of Indians. Ur elected representatives shud have done that in the last 60 years. Yet thousands wud have gained meaningful employment & millions made money thru share market etc. 3. Such things motivates others to do better & confidence of fellow Indian Businessmen etc grows. 4. At a certain period of time, Indians weer the richest, in terms of wealth as well as spiritually. This is the first step towards gaining the no. 1 spot wealthwise. I suppose this should lead to spiritual upliftment also. When a person is fully fed & clothed, he then helps others.

He has still the same wealth what he had few days ago but with value of rupee going up he becomes richest in terms of US$. Wait till US$ get up again and then we will see. It does feel nice to have an Indian and not a person of Indian origin achieving some high. He should share it with his unfortunate countrymen by way of some meaningful social activity.

I Don't think things like these make a country proud. Had it been Dhirubhai Ambani then it wud have been a different story.

I don't see why this is an issue ofpride. Its good for him that he got rich becausing of a falling dollar. I will be proud the day there is justice, equality, no communal violence, no police brutality, and grossly reduced poverty in India. Oh! greatest moment of pride will be if India can get its population below a billion with an eventual goal of 600 million. These are achievemnts worthy of pride. One rich guy? Good for him, but who cares .... I agree with another poster, if this was achieved by Dirubhai, then yes it would be an achievemnet, for he actually created an empire out of nothing.

look mukesh ambani for me offcourse is a source of pride for i can always brag before a bunch of non inidans of his achivements as an indian but more than that i am thankful to god that he had a vision and the drive to do it and offcourse his indulgence and boldness had made possible for huge employement and certain has effect the life of the common indian too its not just he and his relatives who benefitted from it

The truly rich, to my mind, is one who can see beyond himself and out to others who have need of help. And being in the position of wealth provides such opportunity. May God grant him the wisdom to do the right thing with who he is and what he has.
