India's industrial heritage cannot be separated from the Tata name. The company's founder, J.N. Tata, was a nationalist driven by the idea of a strong, self-reliant India. He gave the country its first steel mill, first hydroelectric plant, first textile mill, first shipping line, first cement factory and even its first world-class hotel. His successors--among them J.R.D. Tata, India's first pilot--created the first airline, first motor company, first bank and first chemical plant. And much like H.J. Heinz in the U.S., J.N. Tata attached social welfare to his business. Tata Steel introduced...
Most Iraqis do not want civil war. But they have rejected the idea of a unified Iraq. In the December 2005 national elections, Shi'ites voted overwhelmingly for Shi'ite religious parties, Sunni Arabs for Sunni religious or nationalist parties, and the Kurds for Kurdish nationalist parties. Fewer than 10% of Iraq's Arabs crossed sectarian lines. The Kurds voted 98.7% for independence in a nonbinding referendum...
...commonly attributed to it. Many people in Ireland insist that the Ulster conflict is about British rule versus Irish unification, not about Protestantism versus Catholicism. And among the Islam-aligned forces with which our country is currently entangled, Saddam Hussein’s Baathism is more secular and nationalist than it is religious.

...Jane sat next to me during the meal, with the chat swaying from movies to domestic matters to politics. She asked me about a movie I had just seen, Cry Freedom!, the story of the South African nationalist Steven Biko (Denzel Washington) and his white friend (Kevin Kline), an editor who wants to publish a book on Biko. Halfway through, Biko is dead, and Cry Freedom becomes the editor?s publish-or-perish saga. I told Jane that, as much as I agreed with the film?s sentiments, it was one more example of Hollywood thinking it can?t make...
...metamorphosis into a modern economy. For much of their 138-year history, the Tata family companies were the heart of India's insular business establishment - the last business group you'd have turned to for radical thinking, or owning anything abroad. The group's founder, J.N. Tata, was a nationalist driven by the idea of a strong, self-reliant India. He gave the country its first steel plant, first hydroelectric plant, first textile mill, first shipping line, first cement factory, first science university, even its first world-class hotel. His successors - among them J.R.D. Tata, India's first pilot - created...
