If you think that cars like the Tata Nano were to reduce global warming, think again, as a model burst into flames while on the move. The rear portion of the car that houses the engine was all up in flames, luckily its driver Satish Sawant from Mumbai, India, managed to get out of the car. Satish was made aware of the burning rear portion by a motorcyclist as he himself has no clue about the fire. Small cars with an engine at the rear are more prone to such problems and reference can be made to the original Abarth 500 where the owners had to ensure that their trunk was always propped open to avoid overheating.

Allegations and sensationalism have become the norm of any existence. Core motto is to just disrupt every belief, play with emotions and create ruckus. This incident is yet another creation of the nasty game of corporate upmanship and vested interest. Trust to come out with innovative assumptions and ideas to rake in publicity and disrupt NANO’s smooth run. Disgusting!

Its is extremely saddening that even after contributing so much to really make India shine on a global platform, back home, it is the easiest to blame Tata’s capabilities for everything that is wrong.
