			That's disgusting. 
 Building a monument to wealthy decadence in the middle of one of the poorest places in the world?
 
 It's kind of ironic that he compared it to Versailles... I wonder if his wife will stand on the balcony and say 'Let them eat cake' too.

A member from another forum who lives in India posted a story about a Indian King who's people had suffered drought for a number of years.  He decided  to give them food and water.  His people refused.  Instead they built him a palace and them took food and money for payment.  I think the palace still stands in some form in India today.   
Unlike Sheiks in the middle east who import materials and workers from around the world, 90+ % of the materials and labor used in this house come from India.  Mukesh Ambani basically dumped a huge amount of money into the Indian economy and has provided 600+ people with jobs. Ambani holds a lot of meeting at his house eith people from around the world and is showing what Indian companies can do.

			what a stupid and ridiculous house...built in such a poor place as if he wanted all the poor to venerate his wealth.
