Hamish McDonald's "Polyester Prince"
pg 3
Reliance, the biggest business group in India was set up by Dhirubai Ambani. His rise was controversial, as there were allegations that certain rules were bent so that he could what he wanted. Many of those rules were inspired by the socialist mind-set, which prevailed in India till the economic liberalization of 1991. Australian journalist Hamish McDonald penned this account of Ambani's rise in 1998, which remained unavailable in India, partly because of concerns that Ambani would take legal action if the book got released. McDonald has since written an updated version, called Ambani and Sons, which is widely available in India.
