Capitalism thrives on liberal values… I'm clear what I
stand for:
Satya Nadella
Satya Nadella, Microsoft’s India-born CEO, hit the
headlines after his comments on the Citizenship Amendment Act. He was replying
to a question on the CAA posed by the editor of US news website BuzzFeed
Here’s Nadella’s verbatim answer:-
To me, in fact I obviously grew up in
India and I’m very proud of where I get my heritage, culturally in that place,
and I grew up in a city, Hyderabad. I always felt it was a great place to grow
up. We celebrated Eid, we celebrated Christmas, Diwali — all three festivals
that are big for us. I think what is happening is sad, primarily as sort of
someone who grew up there. I feel, and in fact quite frankly, now being
informed shaped by the two amazing American things that I’ve observed which is both,
it’s technology reaching me where I was growing up and its immigration policy
and even a story like mine being possible in a country like this.
I think it’s just bad… if anything I would love to see a
Bangladeshi immigrant who comes to India and creates the next unicorn in India,
or becomes the CEO of Infosys, that should be the aspiration, if I had to sort
of mirror what happened to me in the US, I hope that’s what happens in India.
I’m not saying that any country doesn’t and should not
care about its own national security, borders do exist and they’re real and
people will think about it, I mean after all immigration is an issue in this
country, it’s an issue in Europe and it’s an issue in India, but the approach
that one takes to deal with what is immigration, who are immigrants and
minority groups, that sensibility.
