๐ Discussing Japan's Phenomenal Progress In Technology And Jamsetji's Plan Of Laying The Foundations Of The Steel Industry To India.
๐ The Founder Of One Of India's Largest Conglomerates, Jamsetji Also Explained That He Was In Search Of Equipment And Technology That Would Help Make India A Strong Industrial Nation.
๐ Vivekananda Endorsed The Vision With Enthusiasm, Adding That The Real Hope Of India Lay In The Prosperity And Progress Of Its Ordinary Millions.
๐ He Also Added That Instead Of Importing Matches From Japan, Jamsetji Should Manufacture Them In India And Help Provide A Livelihood To The Rural Poor.
๐ Impressed By Vivekananda's Views On Science And Deep-Rooted Patriotism,
๐ Jamsetji Requested His Guidance In His Campaign In Establishing A Research Institute In India. The Visionary Monk Smiled, Gave His Blessings And Remarked,
๐ฎ๐ณ JAMSETJI AND VIVEKANANDA NEVER MET AFTER THAT JOURNEY ๐บ️
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––
๐ But These Words Struck A Chord In The Industrialist's Heart And Five Years Later, He Wrote A Letter To Vivekananda.
๐ Esplanade House, Bombay. 23rd November 1898
Dear Swami Vivekananda,
I trust, you remember me as a fellow- traveller on your voyage from Japan to Chicago I recall these ideas in connection with my scheme of Research Institute of Science for India, of which you have doubtless heard or read.
Do you think you would care to apply yourself to the mission of galvanizing into life our ancient traditions in this respect?
Perhaps, you had better begin with a fiery pamphlet rousing our people in this matter. I would cheerfully defray all the expenses of publication."
With kind regards, I am dear, Swami, Yours faithfully, JAMSETJI TATA
๐ Busy Setting Up The Ramakrishna Mission, Vivekananda Was Unable Accept The Offer But He Promptly Sent His Disciple, Sister Nivedita To Meet Met JAMSETJI. However Jamsetji Persevered And Continued To Work On These Plans,
๐ Swami Vivekananda Died In July 1902 And Jamsetji Died Two Years Later, Unaware That Their Shared Vision Would Be Realised Five Years Later. The Tata Institute Of Science Was Born In 1909.
"JN Tata also endowed almost half of his personal wealth, including 14 buildings and four parcels of land in Mumbai. "JN Tata never wanted the institute to be associated with his name. But even today, locals refer to the IISC as Tata Institute,"
