The Sassoons celebrated when the monopoly of the British East India Company was repealed; they used their business expertise and parliamentary connections in London to grab nearly 80% of the drug trade out of India. Connections with British royalty made possible their important involvement in securing Israel as the Jewish Homeland. The Sassoons' extensive holdings in India and China were encroached upon as a result of India's independence movement and China's takeover by communists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndian independence strengthened the hold of the Parsee family of Tatas, who, in the 21st Century are advertising the development of a \"People's car\" estimated to cost about $2,500.
