Benevolent bosses
I have just read Bombay Parsi Punchayet (BPP) chairman Dinshaw Mehta’s message in the November issue of The BPP Review. I am happy to learn that BPP employees have been given an increment in their salary for three years from 2012 to 2014, plus good perquisites and a handsome bonus. As philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau said, "What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?”
I believe in giving credit where credit is due. Congratulations to all the BPP trustees for treating their employees in a compassionate way at a time of continuously rising prices when super-rich capitalists are throwing employees out of jobs. I agree with Mehta when he says that the BPP trustees are "benevolent employers.”
They can do one thing more. They can build a new building at Ambawadi for the khandhias and nassessalars to live in. All the flats in the building should have two rooms and the carpet area of each apartment should not be less than 700 square feet.
