JRD Tata's involvement in my life goes back more than 50 years. In 1929-30, I was posted at Jamshedpur with the Tata Iron and Steel Company (Tisco) on a year's training in all departments. JJ Bhabha recalls his close involvement with JRD Tata, at Tata Steel and also, at an important personal level, with the funding and development of the National Centre for the Performing Arts of the steel works and the town. After a year I got my first appointment, as assistant chief town administrator, a post I held for a number of years. At the outbreak of the Second World War, I was involved with the general administration at Jamshedpur and was concerned principally with operations relating to air-raid precautions. About that time an unexpected problem cropped up. One evening, when my mother was having dinner with her invalid sister in the family dining room, a group of six Britishers burst into the room and ordered the servants to take them to the two floors of the house. They were acting on information about a clandestine radio transmitter operating in that area.
