Enough has been written about last year’s collapse of insurance giant AIG after it had to make good all the insurance it sold against corporate bond defaults and the fact that the US government bailout happened to help Goldman Sachs, the firm that US Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson once ran. Much less, however, is known about the company’s origins (it was the first reverse MNC, with its headquarters in China), of how it had such tremendous clout it could even threaten governments with US sanctions, or of how in the second World War it allowed US intelligence agency officials to masquerade as journalists of one of the newspapers it owned and collect information against the Japanese.

Call it the Bollywood effect. At his press conference in Mumbai during the election campaign, Corporate Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid repeatedly gave film references.

After a few minutes, a chit was passed on to him saying that Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office Prithviraj Chavan had arrived for the next press conference. Khurshid wrapped up his press meet while saying, “This was just the matinee show. Now the evening show will start.”
