What a change in scenario, earlier any acquisition of a major company was a foregone conclusion either it was by an Europeon or an Amercian company which would be in the forefront to dictate terms. Economic turnaround has taken place so rapidly today, it is either India or China, which are on the prowl to grab what is ever is on the market.
I think this is a good sign and this will definately lead to equal level of competition and better price for the seller
