From Diwali parties to donations to the Dome, the Hinduja brothers have been assiduous in courting the establishment. Their network of acquaintances ranges far and wide. Tony and Cherie Blair were glad to attend one of their soirees. So was Lady Thatcher when she was prime minister. Other "friends" whose names the family tend to drop in casual conversation include Bill Clinton and Michael Jackson. Generous charitable giving is a hallmark of the family. Beneficiaries include the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Prince's Youth Trust and a large Hindu temple in North London.
