	Aditya Birla \| media \| press reports \| The new millennium Birla
		Birla reminisces that GD was particular about things like being on time for a family function, and dressing appropriately for functions.
		Birla's quiet confidence, and his ability to remain unruffled, his childlike innocence -- he doesn't pretend to be a know-all chairman, -- never out to impress anyone, and his reflective nature are qualities that are admired by senior executives from the old guard and the new.
		In fact, as a leader, Birla's biggest strength is not only his people skills, but also his affinity to separate the chaff from the grain, and his ability to reduce very complicated issues to a simplified form, attacking the core, an ability he has demonstrated time and again.

		Birla was conscious of his lack of formal education, yet he did not encourage his sons to go in for higher education.
		Birla was in many ways representative of the Marwari community characterised by their religiosity, piety, trading ability, resourcefulness, strong kinship ties and austere lifestyle.
		Birla with his orthodoxy, fiscal conservatism and soft Hindutva leanings had a warm relationship with Madan Mohan Malviya and Lajpat Rai and was much closer to Patel than Nehru.

		According to P.V. Indiresan, Former Director of IIT-Madras, "Pilani town was transformed for sentimental reasons from an inhospitable village in the Rajasthan desert to a national intellectual centre.

		Kudiasya poignantly describes the slow decline of GD Birla’s stature in national life after the death of his Sardar Patel, whose advisor and protégé he was.
		Birla has plenty to say, and whatever one may think of Marwari businessmen and their ways, he is well worth talking to.
		I believe the Birlas behaved in a rational manner, as any businessman would towards his competitor, and what was wrong was not the behaviour of the Birlas but the incentive system of the Licence Raj in that hypocritical, ugly world that ended in allowing our bureaucrats to kill our industrial revolution at birth.

		A bemused industry minister did not know how to react to GD Birla’s clarion call to industry to produce more in defiance of the industrial licensing regime.
		It is a different matter that the Janata Party government did not pay heed to this industry demand and it took another five-six years and a Congress government at the Centre for the industrial licensing regime to be relaxed in phases.
		The GD Birla outburst was perhaps the last such public expression of dissent with the government and its policies.
