We belong to Gujarat and are here:Ratan Tata
Ahmedabad, DeshGujarat, 7 October, 2008
Gauri Kumar from Gujarat Government side and Ravikant from Tata Motors side shake hands after signing MOU for Nano in Gujarat
While addressing a press conference after singing MOU with Gujarat government for Nano car plant, Tata group Chairman Ratan Tata said “Aapde ahiya na chiye ane aapde ahiya paachaa aavya (We belong here and so we have come back here)”.
He could have been referring to the fact that his ancestor Jamshedji Tata was from south Gujarat’s Navsari town. Tata family’s old ancestral house is standing strong in Navsari even today. There is Jamshedji Tata road too in Navsari. Navsari town has several institutions run by Tatas.
Ratan Tata is Parsi. Parsis landed at south Gujarat’s Sanjan from Iran centuries back as refugees. Gujarat welcomed them, allowed them to follow their traditions freely and since then Parsis have become integral part of Gujarati community. Even today Parsis in any part of the world speak Gujarati in their daily life.

Time to say thanks to Parsi community….I born and brought up in Navsari. Feel proud that Navsari land belong to the person like Tata….I also stuy in parsi school called as “Tata Boys”….During my schooling 75 % teachers are parsis…Ones again thanks to parsi community…
I am proud of Ratan Tata. He personifies the finest qualities of a good Parsi.
He said “A promise is a promise” and he intends to keep that promise.
He said he would pull out of West Bengal if the attitude of certain people did not change and he did so. He does what he says without rhetoric or drama. He is calm and genial at all times. Above all he is a man of his word. An inspiration to Parsis and to all those who seek not just fame or fortune but the title of “A good human being.”
