our inspiration
Balasaheb Thackeray
Bal Thackeray was a prominent Indian politician and the founder of the Shiv Sena, a right-wing regional political party based in Maharashtra. He was born on January 23, 1926, in Pune, Maharashtra, and passed away on November 17, 2012. Thackeray started his career as a cartoonist, working for the English-language newspaper The Free Press Journal. In 1960, he launched his own political cartoon weekly called Marmik, which focused on advocating for the rights of the Marathi-speaking people in Maharashtra.
In 1966, Thackeray founded Shiv Sena to protect the interests of the Marathi people and promote their socio-political agenda. The party initially focused on securing job opportunities for Maharashtrians in Mumbai, but it gradually expanded to advocate for Hindutva, a form of Hindu nationalism. Under Thackeray's leadership, Shiv Sena became a significant force in Maharashtra politics.
Thackeray's speeches were often controversial, marked by fiery rhetoric and criticism of migrants, particularly those from other Indian states. Despite the controversies, he maintained a significant following among his supporters, who saw him as a champion of Marathi identity and Hindu nationalism.
After his death, his son, Uddhav Thackeray, took over the leadership of Shiv Sena, and the party continued to play a prominent role in Maharashtra politics.
