The article criticizes Tata Sons' board for its actions following Ratan Tata's death. It highlights the board's decision to reappoint its chairman and pursue a listing in September 2026, despite earlier rejections and the Trusts' opposition. The author argues that defending these actions solely on legal grounds, like Article 121, ignores inconvenient facts and the owner's will. The piece contrasts this with Tata's historical commitment to integrity and rules, such as the retirement policy and the Docomo settlement. Ultimately, the author contends that governance means honouring commitments and owners, warning that current practices erode a century of trust.
