Amar Chitra Katha – J.R.D. Tata

JRD Tata The Quiet Conqueror Born in Paris on July 29, 1904, Jehangir Ratanji Dadabhoy Tata was the second child of Ratanji Dadabhoy Tata and his French wife Sooni. His childhood was spent in different countries and he schooled in Paris, Mumbai and Yokohama. A joyride on a plane sparked a passion for soaring in the skies. It was then that the fifteen-year-old boy decided that one day he too would fly. He had to wait ten years for it to happen. The first flight of Indian civil aviation took off at Karachi on October 15, 1932, with JRD Tata at the controls of the Puss Moth that he flew solo to Ahmedabad and onwards to Bombay. In 1938, at the age of thirty-four JRD Tata was placed at the head of India’s largest industrial empire. For over half a century. JRD guided the destiny of Tatas. Despite enormous pressures on his time, JRD Tata took the role of a citizen very seriously and never failed to be of service to the nation. He was a patron of the arts and supported India’s progress to become a scientifically advanced nation. For these endeavours. JRD Tata was awarded the country’s highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna, in 1992. Yet he remained at heart a simple, unassuming person who refused to take himself seriously. Years after his pioneering flight on the Puss Moth, he re-enacted the event, to inspire a little hope and enthusiasm in the young people of the country.
