I've watched Narayan Murthy for years.
Decided that he is neither a Bill Gates, nowhere near Steve Jobs, not a pathfinder--but
merely a slave trader for which he wants a Bharat Ratna if not Nobel Prize.
He is now everyhere- directing IIM(Which some think produces geniuses)--advises various PM's on how to ruin India further by making all Engineers- call centre babus ------------------------------>
Somebody should test him once"Run it for a day and show" like in the Bollywood hit NAYAK

Many felt that Murthy's criticism, made on Wednesday at a function in Bangalore, was "abusive" in nature.
An agitated Sharad Yadav, head of Janata Dal (United), asked Murthy to stay "within limits". He said politicians faced a difficult job in marrying aspirations of a heterogeneous mass of people. "I challenge him to contest one election and see it for himself. On the other hand, I can run a company easily because there you don't have to face people and are free to do what you want to," he fumed.
The general feeling was that complexities of politics were being ignored, as sweeping generalisations were being made against the political class. Ram Kripal Yadav, Lok Sabha MP of Rashtriya Janata Dal, pounced on the statement as a "conspiracy to subvert democracy"of which corporate houses were also a part. "It is to malign us," he said. Yadav said there were enough honest people to be found among politicians. "He is elitist," he said.
Samajwadi Party leader Ajar Singh felt it was sad and "unfortunate" that such a sweeping statement had come from a "respected corporate giant". Countering the charge, he said there were corrupt politicians just like businessmen had black sheep among them.Dismissing charges of lack of accountability, Singh said politicians had to face people and even Indira Gandhi faced an electoral defeat. "But a businessman can simply declare himself bankrupt and does not even have to face the shareholders," he argued. RJD's Yadav said businessmen fleece the country by evading sales tax and other taxes but still manage to get away without being called corrupt.Nilotpal Basu of the CPM said, "The statement is not worthy of a reaction."D Raja, national secretary of the CPI, said it was the philosophy of neo-liberals who don't recognise democracy and its institutions. "Murthy has always reflected this philosophy very well," he said.Suresh Prabhu of Shiv Sena accepted the criticism but said the need of the hour was to focus on reforming the politics, its institutions and its functionaries rather than indulge in mud-slinging.
