The polyester prince is the banned(in india) work of Hamish McDonald,it is the biography of the Great Indian tycoon Dhirubhai Ambani , the book was first published in 1998 but is still not available in the Indian bookshops because the Ambani's have threatened legal action for anything they perceive as defamatory in the book. This ban of sorts has, in fact, increased the curiosity value of the book.
The second Dhirubhai Ambani,is a schemer, a first-class liar ,
who regrets nothing and has no values in life.
Then there is the third Dhirubhai Ambani, who has a more sophisticated political brain, a dreamerand a visionary, almost Napoleonic.
The Polyester Prince is an accurate portrait of one of the most colourful, controversial and brilliant of Indian businessmen, it traces his humble beginnings at Chorwad in Gujarat to being in the Forbes list of the world's richest men.According to a Gujarati writer ..... ‘There are three Dhirubhai Ambanis’......
"One is unique, larger than life, a brand name. He is one of the most talked about industrialists., and for Gujarati people he has tremendous emotional and sentimental appeal. He is their ultimate man, and has inspired many emulators.The second Dhirubhai Ambani,is a schemer, a first-class liar ,
who regrets nothing and has no values in life.
Then there is the third Dhirubhai Ambani, who has a more sophisticated political brain, a dreamerand a visionary, almost Napoleonic.
For all those who were not able to get this wonderful book ,here is the link where I have posted a copy of the book .........
