#3 Pakistani paranoia knows no bounds

The crème de la crème of Indian business houses have expressed an interest in investing in Pakistan over the last few years but no one has had any luck. Unbeknownst to the public, Indias most famous tycoon Ratan Tata flew into Isloo on his private jet, accompanied by five of his top directors. This was in early 2007. Tata met Shortcut and he and his team had a long and interesting discussion about investment opportunities in Pakistan. Tata said he wanted to start with an investment of US $ 2 billion to begin with. Shortcut told Tata that he was welcome to do so but that there had to be a political breakthrough before it could be business as usual. Then the fabled Mukesh Ambani, son of Dirubhai of the House of Reliance, expressed an interest in buying the largest PTA plant in Pakistan, one located in the Punjab. No deal. For Anand Mahindra, of Mahindra & Mahindra, Indias largest automobile manufacturers, it was a matter of overwhelming nostalgia. Born in Rawalpindi before the Partition, Mahindra wanted to set up a SUV manufacturing plant in the environs of Rawalpindi. No deal. The Suris, also originally a Rawalpindi family put in a bid for Lahores famous Falettis which they wanted to turn into a 7 star hotel. No deal. For how long will the interests of the subcontinents people be held hostage at the alter of politics?
