Sunita Narain’s (‘What is the right right?’, March 27) analysis of the Nano is quite unlike any I’ve seen before. Once you take into account the large subsidies given by the Modi government, the cost of the emissions from automobiles (of course, this applies to all cars, not just the Nano), the cost of parking spaces, and so on, you realise the Nano’s cost is quite different from what the Tata Motors’ PR machinery puts out, and the rest of the country happily believes. The bigger pity is that the Nano is being sold as the ‘people’s car’ — Narain makes it clear nothing could be farther from the truth.
