Absolutely hated the politics of Bal Thackeray, but Wow @ The crowds gathered today in Mumbai.
10,000,000 + people on the streets and marching from everywhere. The City right from Cinema theatres to Taxi's is shut. He almost literally ran Mumbai, which on population terms is probably equal to a very large country. Last edited by Cevno; 18-11-2012 at 12:57 AM. |

The Master of divide and rule politics. He had different shades and then more shades.
The last time probably such scenes were seen was for NTR in Andhra. But unlike Bal thackeray NTR was a more inclusive figure. (Edit - Maybe YSR to a lesser extent recently too.) Last edited by Cevno; 18-11-2012 at 01:08 AM. |

Edit - The interesting thing in this btw is that Udhav thackeray who is the son of Bal Thackeray and running the Shiv Sena now, is more moderate naturally. And so is his other son who lives seperately Jaidev. The militant mantle was taken over by Raj, his nephew. Last edited by Cevno; 18-11-2012 at 01:08 AM. |

The Indian politics thread
Found this thread from 2009 after the election results in 2009. Oh how the mood of the country has changed in general, towards Manmohan Singh and towards Congress...... |

Woman hits 'like' on Facebook, gets arrested in India
So even after death, Bal Thackeray manages to incite fear and ridiculous behavior in Mumbai. |
