End of an Era in Maharashtra
On Thursday, after returning from home, with my
fellow colleagues, I had a light dinner in office, after a long time.
we're watching TV during dinner where a news channel, screening news
about "Miscarriage Affair and death of Mrs. Savita Halappanavar"
in Ireland, and a conversation start between us about the case and
bullshit Catholic rules of Ireland, just after the news of Irish
case, the news channel tuned to the news of Balasaheb Keshav
Thackeray condition in Lilavati Hospital, Mumbai, we stopped about
our earlier topic and had started a give-and-take about the health
and conditional betterment about the First person of Shiv Sena Mr.
Thackeray, my colleague was doubted about the long living of this
person on Thursday, Today for whole afternoon and evening, me and my
roommate was on a tour of New Delhi to check out some personal stuffs
and facts, when we returned to home and logged in to our laptop, the
first news delivered to me by my roomie is related to Death of Mr.
Thackeray, I heard the news and a broad smile reflects on my face by
the last conversation we had about the person on Thursday dinner
table. The person lived the whole life as lion and till last breath
he treats his Shiv Sena as his Breath of Life, the real dedication to
his real family and loved ones.
Balasaheb Keshav Thackeray was
born on 23rd Jan 1926 in Pune, he was an Indian politician, founder
and chief of Shiv Sena, his followers with love used to call him
"Tiger of the Nation" and "Hindu Hriday Samrat",
he lived like a king for his whole life. Thackeray started his career
as a cartoonist in the Free Press Journal in Bombay, where his
cartoons were published in Times of India, Sunday Edition, In 1960,
he launched a cartoon weekly “Marmik” with his brother. He used
it to campaign against the growing numbers and influence of
non-Marathi people in Mumbai targeting Gujaratis and South Indian
labor workers. On 19 June 1966, he formed the Shiv Sena with a motive
to fight for the rights of the natives of the Maharashtra. The early
objective of the Shiv Sena was to ensure job security for Native
people of Maharashtra, competing against immigrants from southern
India, Gujaratis and Marwaris. in 1989 he launched his own newspaper
"Saamna". Thackeray claimed that the Shiv Sena has helped
the Marathi manoos (Maharashtrian laymen) in Mumbai and also fought
for the rights of Hindu people. Thackeray was a staunch Hindu and
believed that Hindus must be organized to struggle against those who
oppose their identity and religion, especially in the case of public
sector.
After founding Shiv Sena, Mr. Thackeray did a lot of
work to protect the crisis and affair related to Maharashtra masses,
as I wrote above, the main motive of founding Shiv Sena is nothing
more than a fake "Protection" of one state dignity, by rest
of the country, however we and people of the state can say this a
good decision by keeping the growth and development of one single
state, but in fact it is not, and it is wrong, suppose if they're not
allowing the people of other state to come and to grow, how can they
expect any delivery from other state people's, no not at all.
There are many issues and mis-happenings related
with the strives of Shiv Sena, like for example they're not supporter
of V-day and they opposes the same with their young “YOUTH”
power, which I think should to be used at some other better place,
even when they people also commenting on the couples and womans,
while the principles and ethics defined by Shiv Sena, opposes the
humiliation and harassment on any female genre, first time in 2006
Mr. Thackeray condemned and apologized for the violent attacks by
Shiv Sainiks upon a private Valentine's Day celebration in Mumbai,
but the Thackeray and the Shiv Sena continued with opposition to
Valentine's Day celebrations, during his peak high in Shiv Sena he
compares himself with Adolf Hitler, he preached Hitler as an artist
who have had the ability to manage the masses and an unbelievable
power to attract the people thorough his speeches, Mr. Thackeray
finds many things common between him and Hitler. As per view of many
people, The “Sarkar” film series is loosely based on his life and
family, while actually it is based on the all time hit series "The
God Father", but the role played by Big B in “Sarkar” series
is somehow related to Mr. Thackeray.
Thackeray was admitted to
Lilavati hospital's intensive care unit in Mumbai on 25 July 2012
after he complained of breathlessness. As per reports on 14 November,
he stopped eating and was on continuous oxygen. Shiva Sainiks in the
areas where the party draws support forced shops to close.
Thackeray died on 17 November 2012 at "Matoshree",
his Mumbai residence, by Cardiod-respiratory arrest as per said by his
doctor.
Maharashtra People and The People of India remember
him always for his good work. His demise has left a deep void in Indian Politics, always admired him for his courage. Almighty may strength to his family-::
RIP
Balasaheb Keshav Thackeray
