Engineered in India

Do you mean to say that Tatas propose to make steel rails to British specifications? Why, I will undertake to eat every pound of steel rail they succeed in making…

1914: In the First World War Tata Steel supplied 1500 miles of rail and 300,000 tonnes of steel material for military campaigns in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Salonica and East Africa

1907: attributed to Sir Frederick Upcott, the chief commissioner for Indian railways

We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who hope that their dreams will come true (Woodrow Wilson)
