It is said that one shouldn’t speak ill of the dead.
While alive, you can not do that as well as you will be in danger of physical harm.
Some People achieve greatness mostly by speaking the most controversial , whether it makes sense or not, whether it is good for the Society in the long run.
People pay respect when they were alive for fear of Life or their livelihood.
After their death, people mouth inane tributes, while in their hearts would have been relieved.
Ffear of being attacked by the Leader’s followers makes them speak non sense as tributes.
Such a Man was Bala Saheb Thackeray who is like Anna, or Annaduari of the DMK in Tamil Nadu.
It may be noted that the Shiv Sena was was founded in 1966 after and in response to The DMK’s call and fight against North Indians and Hindi in 1962.
Bal Thackeray was shrewd enough to see the design to gain popularity among the locals and initially he drove Tamilians out and there was no mention of the North Indians in Mumbai then.
Shiv Sena of Bal Thackeray and the DMK of Anna are two outfits which consists mostly of the flotsam and jetsam of the Society,more like the Black and Brown Shirts.
Thackeray spewed venom on the so called ‘outsiders’ in Mumbai‘ and he is euologised for restoring the Pride , ‘Manoos’ of the Maharashtrains.
Maharashtrains had and still have their pride intact, no thanks to Bal Thackeray.
When people speak of restoring the Pride. what are they speaking about?
Attacking the poor from other States who have come to Mumbai to fill their belly?
The ‘belly fillers’ are the very people who have done Maharashtra proud, be it Raj Kappor, Amitabh Bachchan,Reliance,Tatas,Kishore Kumar,SD Burman, RD Burman,Salil Choudhary….the list is endless.
Try running Mumbai with out the Biharis and the other north Indian people who have come and are still coming to Mumbai.
Precisley the same tactic used by Anna durai in Tamil Nadu to capture power.
Attacking north Indians, Brahmins.
Bal Thackeray shrewd as he was posed a Hindu Fanatic and chose Muslims as his whipping boys.
Just as Annadurai, Thakeary knows when to retraet.
When Amiatbh Bachchan was attacked fpr being a non Maharashtra promptly came Bal Thaceray to the support of Amitabh, saying that he is more of a Mumbaikar, just as Annadurai, fearful of losing votes declared’ I do not Hate Brahmins, but only Brahminism!’
Both avowed that their parties will never seek power!
DMK promoted Personality cult based on their so called Love of the Tamil Language and Marathi Manoos.
Barring Annadurai , other leaders of the DMK, notably Karunanidhi, had made Tamil Nadu as a fiefdom of his Family.
Thackeray divided it between Uddhav and Raj Thackeray.
Both of them never felt shy of changing views.
For Bal Thackeray. Congress is to be wiped out but Indira Gandhi is the Greatest Leader
For Anna Durai Rajaji was an evil Brahmin ,later became ‘Acharyar'(Venerable Teacher).
What sort of a Leader sre you when Film Directors, producers ans Actors must seek your approval before their movies are being released, be it Dilip Kumar for ‘Aadmi’ Bachchan and Ram Gopal Varma for Sarkar, Mani Rathnam for Bombay!
Mumbai is closing down even to day as the whole of Maharashtra.
Fear of being attacked by the vandals, that’s all.
