Have you heard the Radia tapes? I have, in their entirety. They're out there to listen to, if you want. Fascinating piece of the zeitgeist.

My listening suggests he lived up to his legacy of above-board, gentlemanly conduct.

Compare Radia's phone calls to Ratan, with her conversations with the rest of the lot.

Ratan is a master class in, well class and restraint.

I think when you're that big and are so hard-wired into the real economy of a country as huge and populous as India, you can't not "play the game", so to speak.

The question is do you remain human despite every incentive to turn into a self-serving gluttonous tyrant?

The TATAs weren't and aren't saints. They are humans we should have more of, in those positions of wealth and power.
