Beacon in dark

Presently I am reading Great Speeches Of Modern India. Of all the speeches so far, those of J.R.D. Tata are particularly impressive. It is difficult not to admire him for courage of conviction, foresight and patriotism (yes the much maligned word). *

The book includes three of his speeches, the first one from 60's, titled "A Myth", in which his passionately argues against a planned economy and restriction on entrepreneurship. Remember those were the glory days of Nehruvian socialism (before his fall in 1962), and such blasphemy from someone whose interest can be harmed by government was a brave deed, requiring integrity of character.

Second speech is from 70's, titled "The Presidential System", where he argues for a presidential system, pointing out the pitfalls for Westminster system and danger of fragmented electorate. This too was against the conformist mentality prevalent in India.

Third speech is an impromptu one which he made in early 90's, the occasion being his flight to celebrate golden jubilee of Air-India, in effect exhorting the youth to be optimistic and adventurous.

Makes a certain "Capitalist by brain and Socialist by heart" look rather puny.

* I can't find online text of the speeches. Will appreciate if anyone can help.
