He will also be known as the man who threw out Coca-Cola and IBM from India when he was the industry minister in the late 1970s. In his early years, he wanted to become a Catholic priest and joined a seminary in the southern city of Mangalore at the age of 16. But two years later, he quit, disillusioned by "the hypocrisy of the church", and moved to Mumbai (then Bombay) in search of work. www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-47039190

Seems a pragmatic man. He moved in search of work, many moved here in search of enlightenment and affordable (initially anyway) women.
