Soon the loving family is worse that the worst enemies.

what is the reliance controversy?
Reliance
The Reliance Group founded by Dhirubhai H. Ambani (1932-2002) is India's largest business house with total revenues of over Rs 99,000 crore ($22.6 billion)
Reliance is the only India private company in Fortune 500 companies.
17% of the total profits of the private sector in India.
25% of India investors are Reliance shareholders.
Over and above the money involved Reliance is Indians Enterprenership face to the world. Its considered to be one of the most professionally managed company.
The controversy
Till resently Relaince was Indian pride in Business world but in the last month the ownership issue between the two brothers (Mukesh elder and Anil younger) came in public.
Dhirubai Ambani made this company the first indian company to cross a profit of $1 billion with his sweat and blood. But after his death (last year) the brothers started having problem amoung them. The company is so important for Indian economy that even PM Manmohan Singh and Super PM Sonia Gandhi, Ministers like Lalu yadav have made public comment about the issue.
The genesis of the present trouble goes back to 1994 when the first of their children was born (Mukesh's child). But so long as patriarch Dhirubhai Ambani was alive, the differences remained subliminal and perhaps were confined to their own family quarters, aired only by their wives, Nita and Tina, "about the futures of their children". (Ya children :roll: )
But once Dhirubhai was gone, the inchoative cracks became open fissures that led to the two brothers not talking to each other since almost December 2002, about five months after their father's death.
And now the fight is public, effecting the companies share values.
You are too impatient :evil: . Give me time to type. :)Quote:

Actually what prompted me to start this topic was a discussio in our office about this. Where every Indian seemed to understand the emotions involved and every one had a similar example in their family or friends. But the americans where more like what the big deal. Their questions where like "Who has more share ?", "Who gets amount if there is a divorse". Where as Indian where like "What is their mothers possition?", "Who is she supporting?"
