SHIVAJI MANE: December 20, 1978 April 23, 2021
Around 2 am on Friday, the ill news that we had all been hoping against knocked at our door. Yet another
colleague of ours, Shivaji Mane, had succumbed to COVID-19, at the age of just 43.
Shivaji fought a severe infection for two long weeks, and breathed his last at the Command Hospital around 1.45 am. He had been moved there from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Cantonment General Hospital Pune to receive better facilities and treatment.
While his condition had continued to deteriorate rapidly over a fortnight, his family and dear ones had clung to the minor hope that he would survive the battle.
‘Mahindra & Mahindra’
Three weeks ago, popular chronicler of Indian automobile history, Adil Jal Darukhanawala, was in city. He was here to release ‘Timeless Mahindra’, a coffee-table book about the iconic Indian auto-maker “Mahindra & Mahindra.” I borrowed a copy of the book, glanced through it, like most people do a coffee-table book, when I chanced upon the story I had long forgotten, a story worth recalling in these times of communal strife and chaotic democracy.
Many may not know that the second ‘M’ in ‘M&M’ was Mohammed. Initially, the company was established as ‘Mahindra & Mohammed’ until loyalty to a new nation and financial compulsion changed it to ‘Mahindra & Mahindra.’
