Ratan Tata gets emotional on Instagram; Here's what he said

In an emotional Instagram post, Ratan Tata has urged netizens to show empathy instead of resorting to online trolling and bullying.

He wrote: “This year has been full of challenges for everyone on some level or the other. I see the online community being hurtful to each other, bringing each other down, harshly and with quick judgments.”

Exhorting the need to be supportive, especially during such testing times (COVID-19 crisis, locust attack, border tension), the Tata Trusts Chairman urged people to be "unified and helpful".

"More of sensitivity towards each other, more of kindness, and more of understanding and patience than what one sees today is the need of the hour," he said.
