despite being an actual minority in this country still the richest and most respected community in India are parsis .

[tluanga]

1.4 billion people mourns our loss. He is India and India is Him. 😢

[rajunaik]

He is from the Parsi community, which originated in Iran. This small community fled Iran decades ago due to Islamist persecution. India wholeheartedly accepted them, and today this community is the wealthiest in India.

What a legend! I always loved his humility!

[محمدصادق-ضغد]

He was a Zoroastrian Persian from Iran . They went to India after Muslim Arabs attack Persian
The Arabs call them infidels

India's economy is run by Tata company and it also gives maximum donations 68%. Salute to such a great person ratan tata❤️🇮🇳

[BhaiyaG]

Correction ‘He donated most of his wealth to charity which amounts in Billions of US Dollars’. He was not a businessman but an Industrialist. May he be remembered till eternity for his vision and dedication and righteousness.

[siddhant]

You know he was a legend when even Al Jazeera has to speek good words about an Indian & has to acknowledge Mumbai terrorist attacks

[arzoo_singh]

Not just a businessman a man of honour ans value.
This ia why every indian loves him.

[Siamak-lj]

Iranian by heart and gene, a true Zoroastrian.
My condolences to India, the country that he loved .

Today india. Lost a gem 💎. He will always be remembered for his work towards humanity, social work ... He literally donated billions of dollars for welfare of the people by building cancer hospitals, scholarship etc... his demise feels like personal loss 💔🥺 . Some earns billion, one donated billions that the difference. The sir ratan tata always be known for his vision & true gentleman ❤💔💎🥺

[heavenpiercer]

For those who dont know this legend is actually the richest person in india and not the ambani's the reason he is not even in the list of the richest is because he donates 90% of his billionaire wealth to cancer charity institutes. 2 months back my mom was diagnosed with cancer and had to do surgery but we are not from a wealthy family so it was difficult for us but we went to one of his subsidized cancer institute and the cost was extremely subsidized that we were able to get a surgery for my mom. He saved my moms life and i will forever be grateful to him for his kindness and generosity. I know for sure that u are now in a better place R.I.P sir 🙏

A Man With 0 Haters Literally to have a life when this man lived for us is a blessing ❤

[ganeshtamilan]

Indian most loved man Abdul Kalam a Muslim, Ratan Tata a Parsi, in cinema Sharuk, Salman,
We Hindus don't mix politics with Religion.
