CorporateThe rise of Indian-Americans in US politics
WASHINGTON: Meet Reshma, Surya, Manan, Raj, Ami, Ravi, Nimrata and Kamala — a new wave of Indian-American politicians. At least eight children of
Indian immigrants are running for Congress or statewide office, the most ever. The star of this trend is Nikki Haley, born Nimrata Nikki Randhawa, who is favoured to win polls for governor of South Carolina.
Indian heritage is where Haley's similarity with the other candidates seems to end. She is the only Republican, the only one who has been widely mistaken for a white woman, the only one who has been accused of abandoning her heritage for converting to Christianity.
Manan Trivedi, a doctor and Iraq war veteran who recently won a Democratic primary for Congress in eastern Pennsylvania, said he did not view his ethnicity as a handicap: "The American electorate is smarter than that."
He called criticism of Haley's name and religion unfounded. "Nikki Haley and (Republican Louisiana gov.) Bobby Jindal are on the wrong side, but they worked their butts off, they had the bonafides to get the votes, and I think it had so much more to do with their work ethic than the fact that they may have changed their names and adopted a different religion."
Christianity is a more critical issue for white Republicans than other groups — could a Hindu who worships multiple gods, or a turbaned Sikh who doesn't cut his hair, survive a statewide Republican primary in the Bible Belt?
Vidya Pradhan, editor of India Currents magazine, thinks not. Haley and Jindal "were really ambitious about their politics, and they could not do it being Hindu or their old religion," Pradhan said. "I do think it was a political move. They felt that not being a Christian would hurt them."
"This campaign is all about vision and values and policies," said Raj Goyle, who is battling for the Democratic congressional nomination in his hometown of Wichita, Kan. "I don't spend time thinking about differences, I think about ways that Kansans can come together."
He said he doesn't worry about appearing more American or more Indian. "I am who I am, I'm proud of my background and what I've accomplished and my family. Kansas voters absolutely will choose the best candidate based on the merits."
In California, Kamala Harris won the Democratic nomination for state attorney general and is favoured to win the election this fall. "Slowly, perhaps, people will start to understand the diversity of the people." she said.
Indians began immigrating to the United States in large numbers about 50 years ago, but just two have been elected to Congress: Dalip Singh Saund in 1954 and Jindal, who entered Congress in 2004 and became governor midway through his second term.
In 2008, J Ashwin Madia, a Minnesota Democrat who lost a congressional election in 2008, says he was the only major Indian-American candidate for Congress.
Today there are six, including Goyle and Trivedi. Ami Bera in California, Ravi Sangisetty in Louisiana and Reshma Saujani in New York face upcoming primaries, and Surya Yalamanchili won a primary in Ohio.

There were no major surprises at the Reliance AGM (Annual General Meeting) as far as a family reunion was concerned. At 11 a.m. RIL Chairman Mukesh Ambani walked into Mumbai's Birla Matoshree auditorium to deliver his address. At his side were his mother Kokilaben and wife Neeta Ambani.
Missing in action was younger brother Anil whom many expected to turn up as a sign of the truce between the two brothers.
The 31st AGM of Reliance Industries Ltd in 2005 was the last time when Mukesh and Anil Ambani addressed the shareholders from the same platform. The two brothers demerged their business in 2005 in a family agreement brokered by their mother Kokilaben Ambani.
Mukesh started his address by reiterating Dhirubhai's vision of creating a world class enterprise.
But soon the focus was on the truce and its antecedents. Mukesh recounted the Supreme Court decision on the KG basin gas row with brother Anil, highlighting the fact that the apex court upheld RIL's stand.
Anil wanted the gas to be sold at a below-market rate agreed upon in a family understanding mediated by Kokilaben in 2005. Mukesh, however, argued that the price had to be raised after the government objected to the rate decided upon by the Ambanis.
The Supreme Court ruled that gas is a national asset and therefore, the government alone decides on its prices and supply. The court also gave the brothers six weeks to work out a new agreement in keeping with government guidelines on prices and supply.
However, Mukesh today promised that the company will commence supply of gas to ADAG group as and when their plants are operational. (Read; RIL to supply gas to ADAG plants when ready: Mukesh Ambani)
Mukesh then said that he was looking forward to a harmonious and constructive relationship with Anil's ADAG Group.
The two brothers had agreed to dump their differences and non-compete agreements on 23 May. This allowed the two companies to compete with each other.
The biggest announcement Mukesh made was about the company's foray into the power sector. He said that RIL is drawing up specific plans for mega investment in coal, hydro and nuclear power projects. As a goodwill gesture, RIL would not enter the gas-based power generation arena till 2022. (Read; Power business to drive RIL's growth)
Mukesh then announced his company's foray into the telecom space citing the billion dollar acquisition of Infotel – the only company to win a pan India broadband licence. 'We are faced with much larger opportunity in broadband," Mukesh added. He said that the BWA spectrum is an extremely valuable resource and the company plans to set up a wireless innovation centre in Mumbai soon. (Read; Mukesh sees huge opportunity in broadband)
The markets, anticipating a drama at the AGM, were mute in reaction. The Sensex, barometer of the Bombay stock exchange, fell 0.16 per cent.
RIL's share fell 0.21 per cent to Rs 1,069. Anil's ADAG companies stocks, however, sold off.
RNRL declined 6.41 per cent after Mukesh said that the company will start gas supply to ADAG once their plants are ready.
Reliance Media declined 4.54 per cent. Reliance Capital declined 2.10 per cent.
Reliance Communications declined 2.38 per cent. Mukesh Ambani announced his company's foray into telecom.
RIL announced a dividend of Rs 7 per share for the 2009-10 fiscal. That is 70 per cent on the face value of Rs 10.

Reliance Industries aspires to double its enterprise value and transform itself into an over Rs five-lakh-crore company in the next decade,
its Chairman Mukesh Ambani said today.
"I feel hopeful and confident that Reliance can accomplish value-creation of a similar magnitude in less than a decade," Ambani said, pointing out that it took three decades for Reliance to create an enterprise value of USD 80- billion or over Rs 3,70,000-crore.
Ambani, who was speaking at the annual general meeting (AGM) of the company, said Reliance has never been stronger than what it is today and is an "ignited corporation" determined to make greater contribution to India's prosperity.
Reliance, whose business interests span oil and natural gas, petrochemicals and retail, recently re-entered the telecom space with a promise to offer fourth-generation broadband connectivity to the people of India.
The primary focus of the company will be to create "new fountainheads of value creation within India" while it will also "seize" opportunities elsewhere in the world, Ambani said.
"As India marches ahead to become one of the four largest economies in the world in the foreseeable future, Reliance aspires to be counted amongst the most valuable corporations in the world," Ambani said.

Reliance Industries Limted
Reliance Industries Limited (BSE: 500325, LSE: RIGD) is India's largest private sector conglomerate company by market value, with an annual turnover of US$ 44.6 billion and profit of US$ 3.6 billion for the fiscal year ending in March 2010 making it one of India's private sector Fortune Global 500 companies, being ranked at 264th position (2009).[7] It was founded by the Indian industrialist Dhirubhai Ambani in 1966. Ambani has been a pioneer in introducing financial instruments like fully convertible debentures to the Indian stock markets. Ambani was one of the first entrepreneurs to draw retail investors to the stock markets. Critics allege that the rise of Reliance Industries to the top slot in terms of market capitalization is largely due to Dhirubhai's ability to manipulate the levers of a controlled economy to his advantage. Though the company's oil-related operations form the core of its business, it has diversified its operations in recent years. After severe differences between the founder's two sons, Mukesh Ambani and Anil Ambani, the group was divided between them in 2006. In September 2008, Reliance Industries was the only Indian firm featured in the Forbes's list of "world's 100 most respected companies".[8]
The gas reserve is 7 trillion cubic feet in size. Equivalent to 1.2 billion barrels (165 million tonnes) of crude oil, but only 5 trillion cubic feet are extractable.[21]
On 2008 Oct 8, Anil Ambani's Reliance Natural Resources took Reliance Industries to the Bombay High Court to uphold a memorandum of understanding that said RIL will supply the natural gas at $2.34 per million British thermal units to Anil Ambani.[22]
Reliance Industries backed a conference on environmental awareness in New Delhi in 2006. The conference was run by the Asia Pacific Jurist Association in partnership with the Ministry of Environment & Forests, Govt. of India and the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board. The conference was to help bring about new ideas and articles on various aspects of environmental protection in the region. Maharashtra Pollution Control Board invited various industries complied with the pollution control norms to take active part in the conference and to support as a sponsor. The conference proved effective as a way to promote environmental concern in the area.[24]

Reliance AGM 2010
Posted on 18 June 2010
Reliance AGM (Annual General Meeting) 2010 held today at Birla Matoshree Auditorium in Mumbai. Mukesh Ambani, Chairman of Reliance arrived at the venue around 11:00 AM in the morning to give his speech in this year's AGM. He was not the only person of the family who attended the meeting but Kokilaben (his mother) and Neeta Ambani (his wife) were also there with him.
But the interesting part of this Reliance Annual General Meeting was, younger brother of Mukesh Ambani was not there in the meeting. The name of this younger brother is Anil Ambani. Still unknown that why he did not attend the meeting but it was an opinion of most of the people that they will see the reunion of brothers in this year's Annual General Meeting of the company.
Reliance called its first Annual General Meeting this year after 2005 when a verdict had been given by Supreme Court. It was the same forum in year 2005 when people heard the news of demerged of both the brothers as they had separated the business of their father in the Annual General Meeting of year 2005. Now it was being considered by many that brothers will announce to combine their business once again but we did not see Anil Ambani in the Annual General Meeting of Reliance today.
Speech of Mukesh Ambani today was started by recalling the vision of his late father who wanted to build a reputed and world class enterprise. Share price of the company dropped to Rs. 1,069 which is 0.21 percent decline today.

Reliance Industries' 36th AGM: Analysts views
18 Jun 2010, 0027 hrs IST,REUTERS
MUMBAI: Mukesh Ambani, chairman of energy major Reliance Industries, said the firm is ready to provide gas to power plants controlled by his
brother Anil Ambani's Reliance ADAG and looks forward to a "harmonious and constructive" relationship with the company. ( Watch )
Following are comments from analysts:
ARUN KEJRIWAL, DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH FIRM KRIS IN MUMBAI: "There were a lot of unrealistic expectations built around Reliance AGM. The hype is now fading, which is reflected in the share price movement."
NITIN ZAMRE, MANAGING DIRECTOR AT CONSULTANCY ICF INTERNATIONAL, NEW DELHI: "The AGM is on expected line. The two brothers coming together throws open opportunity for both RIL and ADAG, but more for RIL. "Given the fact Reliance has core competency in building very large projects, power is the next opportunity mainly ultra mega power Projects, data management and shale gas."
GAJENDRA NAGPAL, CEO OF UNICON FINANCIAL, NEW DELHI: On expansion into power: "They are sitting on so much cash. It's a natural extension of Reliance's business of energy. To that extent, it seems like a well thought of move. I am extremely bullish on the counter in the long run. He is absolutely making all the right moves." On share movement: "Expectations are slowly tickling down. I see no reason why shares should fall now. It's just profit taking. "One would want to hear about his financial services foray. That also seems like a big opportunity."
K.K. MITAL, HEAD OF PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT SERVICES, GLOBE CAPITAL, NEW DELHI: "Mukesh's vision is quite clear. He wants to concentrate on 4G spectrum; he wants to concentrate on power. He wants to do global acquisitions. "There were lot of speculations that Reliance Industries may buy a stake in Reliance Communications; Mukesh may support Anil's Reliance Power. "There were also speculation that Anil Ambani might turn up at the AGM. But let's remember that this is just the beginning. Going forward there will be many more opportunities (for tie up between the brothers)"
TEJAS DOSHI, HEAD OF RESEARCH, SUSHIL FINANCE IN MUMBAI: "People had built unrealistic expectations that there would be big-bang announcements at the meeting. "The disappointment is showing in the stock price of the companies led by both Ambani brothers."
SUSHANT GUPTA, SENIOR ANALYST WITH WOOD MACKENZIE, SINGAPORE: "Refinery-wise they are the most competitive in the region. If you look at refining margins, there is a downward trend which I expect to continue for at least next few years. "Even companies like Reliance are finding it challenging to push products in the global markets at better margins. Reliance should diversify and step up focus on petrochemical sector, which is one of the major contributory to its profit."
MITEN MEHTA, FUND MANAGER BELLWETHER CAPITAL, MUMBAI: "Mukesh Ambani words were more or less expected after the end of the non-compete agreement. In fact there were more expectations than what was actually announced. Reliance Industries needs to get into other areas now and power is an obvious choice for them."
GUL TECKCHANDANI, INDEPENDENT ANALYST, MUMBAI: "His announcements on the power sector sound good. Mukesh has the record of being conservative in his announcements but delivering on what he says. "India needs more power and the more people that enter the sector, the better."

Rajesh Jain, Market Strategist: 'Mukesh Ambani's AGM speech focussed on RIL's core competencies': Mukesh Ambani's AGM speech should be signalled out for the fact that he has focussed most of it on driving the core competence and the world class scale that he enjoys in the refining, petrochemical and the exploration business. That is the biggest takeaway from this speech today aside from announcements for the power and the telecom in the broadband space.
Essentially what Mukesh has signalled today is that we are not going to be trading on each others' stores. We have our domain cut out. We are going to be thinking big in power but it will be nuclear, it will be hydel, it will be the cleaner coal based projects.
Guru (Hindi: गुरू; Tamil: குரு; [ˈɡʊɾuː]) is a 2007 Indian film co-written and directed by Mani Ratnam. It stars Abhishek Bachchan, Mithun Chakraborty, Aishwarya Rai, R. Madhavan, Vidya Balan in the leading roles. The movie also has Mallika Sherawat in a guest appearance. The score and soundtrack for the film is composed by A. R. Rahman. Similarities between Gurukant and India businessman Dhirubhai Ambani have led to speculation that Guru is based on his life.[2] The movie was also dubbed in Tamil as Guru and in Telugu as Gurukanth.[3] The film was released on 12 January 2007, and premièred at the Elgin Theatre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, making it the first Indian film to have a mainstream international premiere in Canada.[4][5]
Manik Dasgupta a.k.a. Nanaji (Mithun Chakraborty), who publishes a newspaper Swatantra, treats Guru as his son. Guru likewise looks to him as a father figure who gives him support during his early struggling days in Bombay. He also develops a strong friendship with his granddaughter, Meenu (Vidya Balan). Meenu develops multiple sclerosis as she grows up, and begins using a wheelchair later on in the film.
As Gurukant Desai's business grows into one of the largest in India, he ruthlessly pursues success. He smuggles in parts for his polyester mills, illegally creates goods, and manipulates stocks to make a higher profit. But when Manik Dasgupta learns that Guru's means of success are not always honest, he, along with a reporter of his newspaper, Shyam (Madhavan), decide to expose Guru's increasingly corrupt ways.
The stress of his battle with the newspaper causes Guru to have a stroke, and he is paralyzed on his right side. Meanwhile, Meenu (Vidya Balan), who is now married to Shyam, is slowly weakening from her illness, and eventually dies. In the end, Guru is brought before a government inquiry into his unethical actions, but he persuades the panel to clear him of most of the charges. He is charged with less allegations and is allowed to return to his company, and the film ends with Guru continuing to dream of the future, and even greater success.
Guru has others involved in the production as a film that is reflective of a man's desire for ambition and success, and how times have changed from the period immediately after the country's independence to the present. Some reports have speculated that this film is a biopic of, one of India's biggest industrial tycoons, Dhirubhai Ambani. Like Guru, Ambani also had roots in Gujarat as the son of a schoolteacher, went abroad to work for the gas company Shell, and returned to India to import polyester.[9] Ratnam has described Guru as inspired by stories both past and present.

[edit] Synopsis
In a small village of Idar in Sabarkantha District North Gujarat, a young man dreams of making it big some day. His father (Rajendra Gupta), the headmaster of the village school, tells him that dreams never come true. Gurukant Desai (Abhishek Bachchan) decides to go to Turkey and enters the spice trade and then later is promoted but refuses the job because he wants to work for himself and not another man.Manik Dasgupta a.k.a. Nanaji (Mithun Chakraborty), who publishes a newspaper Swatantra, treats Guru as his son. Guru likewise looks to him as a father figure who gives him support during his early struggling days in Bombay. He also develops a strong friendship with his granddaughter, Meenu (Vidya Balan). Meenu develops multiple sclerosis as she grows up, and begins using a wheelchair later on in the film.
As Gurukant Desai's business grows into one of the largest in India, he ruthlessly pursues success. He smuggles in parts for his polyester mills, illegally creates goods, and manipulates stocks to make a higher profit. But when Manik Dasgupta learns that Guru's means of success are not always honest, he, along with a reporter of his newspaper, Shyam (Madhavan), decide to expose Guru's increasingly corrupt ways.
The stress of his battle with the newspaper causes Guru to have a stroke, and he is paralyzed on his right side. Meanwhile, Meenu (Vidya Balan), who is now married to Shyam, is slowly weakening from her illness, and eventually dies. In the end, Guru is brought before a government inquiry into his unethical actions, but he persuades the panel to clear him of most of the charges. He is charged with less allegations and is allowed to return to his company, and the film ends with Guru continuing to dream of the future, and even greater success.
[edit] Production
Guru was written and directed by Mani Ratnam, while Vijay Krishna Acharya wrote the Hindi dialogues. Shooting for the film took place in Mumbai, Turkey, Badami and Melkote (both in Karnataka), as well as in Chennai, Pollachi, Madurai, Chettinad region Tamil Nadu, and Athirapilly in Kerala. Much of the film was shot on the Express Estates, the former home of The New Indian Express and Dinamani. During one musical number, Aishwarya Rai fell from a bicycle and received bruises on her hands and feet. Filming had to be suspended for a few hours while she received first aid[6] and the number was cut from the film and eventually replaced with "Barso Re".[7] The music is composed by A. R. Rahman, with lyrics by Gulzar. Cinematography for the film is handled by Rajiv Menon.[8] Several scenes were deleted from the final theatrical version, including a scene in which Sujata first gives birth to a stillborn child and a scene in which Guru becomes angry with Sujata for visiting Manik Dasgupta.Guru has others involved in the production as a film that is reflective of a man's desire for ambition and success, and how times have changed from the period immediately after the country's independence to the present. Some reports have speculated that this film is a biopic of, one of India's biggest industrial tycoons, Dhirubhai Ambani.

[edit] Box office
Guru opened well upon release, gaining momentum as the days went by.[10] In the United States, Guru, opening on a limited release, registered very good collections in its opening weekend, fetching 3 crores during this period, with a very high screen average.[11] By its seventh week, the film has netted 41.65 crores in India,[12] collecting 13 crores in the U.S. and the U.K..[13] As of 23 February 2007 Guru, released 12 January has grossed approximately Rs.80 crores across the world.[14][edit] Reviews
Guru has generally received good reviews. The New York Times said of the film "You might think it would be difficult to fashion an entertaining account of the life of a polyester manufacturer, even a fictitious one. But the Tamil director Mani Ratnam, known for intelligent political dramas, has done so with "Guru," an epic paean to can-do spirit and Mumbai capitalism."[15] The New York Post gave it three out of four stars, and the Los Angeles Weekly called it the best Hindi film since Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India.[16] Richard Corliss of TIME Magazine compared the film to Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life and said that one of the main highlights of the film was its climax. He further noted "For movies to celebrate an entrepreneur is rare..."[17] Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM.com claimed in his review that "Guru ranks as one of Mani Ratnam's finest efforts and one of the best to come out of Hindi cinema,"[18] but also claimed there were "under developed characterisations of Shyam Saxena and Meenu", played by R. Madhavan and Vidya Balan respectively. Praising both the actors for their performances in the film, he added "Madhavan's role could have been stronger and Vidya Balan also suffers due to a weak characterisation", something Raja Sen of Rediff.com agreed with.[19] Sen also said that "the point in the end when Gurukant Desai vociferously likens himself and his fight for more to Mahatma Gandhi's freedom struggle was ridiculous." Khalid Mohammad questioned what he viewed as the message at the end, asking "as long as public welfare is on the agenda, it doesn't matter if you use bribes and cross legal limits?."[20] Abhishek Bachchan received almost unanimous praise for his performance while Aishwarya Rai also garnered good feedback.[edit] Awards
