I however agree that I am indeed a very fortunate man for having some remarkable friends in my life. As far as Ram is concerned, that is an understatement.

Somehow all those stories still do not seem to make for some significant change in the living conditions. That world is yet to hit the tipping point, or is it the critical mass?

There is more than meets the eye in the man. I love the total man. Ram is kind of a Robin Hood Looney. There is more than meets the eye in the man. I love the total man.

The Ford brand of motor cars were sold all over the world. In India it was and continues to be a very popular brand even now. i would not know, but perhaps the Ford Foundation is also doing much good work in the USA.

I have given many training courses to engineers in Detroit at many companies. It is always a room full of Chinese and Indian engineers (and a few other stray nationalities) with a token white or two who may or may not be American born. There are reasons why only a few American are capable and/or willing to go for advanced degrees in science and engineering, so please don't blame the foreigners. Even when American born whites get the degrees, they are the first to move out of the technical areas into management where they don't need to worry about science and math. Finally, Princeton is a private school, so the tuition isn't American tax payers money. At the public universities the foreign students pay full tuition so it isn't fair to blame them either. As for charity being done overseas, well, the US government floods our poor communities with resources. A private charity has far more potential to do good overseas.

He should have stayed back and contributed like his other Indian students did. Ford is an American family which made its money in the USA. Why should it finance something in India when there is plenty needing to be done in the USA? Already Indians are taking American jobs away and Ram is encouraging more Indians to study and take away more jobs. And you call him your hero? Ram studied in the USA using American tax payers money.
