Re: [Assam] [assam] Rajat Gupta, a former Mg Director of McKinsey Co.
Dear BK, What do you think of the Rajat Gupta scandal? Is he a crook? Someone who made an error of judgement? Does he embody the Indian mindset or desi-ethics? Should desis now abandon him, having made him their mascot as P R Sinha asks? Should desis have made him ( or anybody else) their mascot to begin with ? Is Rajat Gupta the highly successful businessman ( like all the other desi-CEOs of so many US Corporations) or was he ( and the other) are merely manipulators cashing in on enterprises somebody else built? And finally, should Gupta or Rajaratnam and other tainted and even convicted individuals taint everybody else who bears the 'desi' identity or flaunts it or is given it by default ( like yours truly for example :-)) ? s On Oct 31, 2011, at 8:38 AM, bbar...@aol.com wrote: Dear Netters: The way India Ink (New York Times) arranges the various topics is bewildering.
