Bal Thackeray Life

Bal Keshav Thackeray (23 January 1926 – 17 November 2012) was an Indian politician who founded the Shiv Sena, a right-wing pro-Marathi and Hindu nationalist party active mainly in Maharashtra's state. Thackeray began his work as a cartoonist with Bombay's English-language daily The Free Press Journal, but he left the newspaper in 1960 to create his own political weekly, Marmik.

His political philosophy was heavily inspired by his father, Keshav Sitaram Thackeray, a leading figure in the Samyukta Maharashtra (United Maharashtra) movement, which argued for the establishment of a separate linguistic nation for Marathi speakers.

Bal Thackeray fought in Bombay against the growing prominence of non-Marathis.

Thackeray founded the Shiv Sena party in 1966 to campaign for Maharashtrians' political and career interests as well as some segments of Bombay's Muslim population; the Shiv Sena often used violent tactics against its opponents.

Thackeray and Chief Minister Manohar Joshi pleaded with Muslims in the 1992-1993 Bombay riots, according to a government inquiry, who discovered temporary alliances with nearly all of the state's political parties.

Thackeray was also the editor of the Marathi-language newspaper Saamana.

He and his followers took a Hindutva stance after the 1992-1993 riots.

Thackeray was barred from voting or contesting in any election for six years as a result of the Election Commission's decision in favour of polling in favour of faith in 1999.

Thackeray was arrested multiple times and served a short stint in jail, but he never suffered any serious legal consequences.

He was given a state funeral upon his death, at which many mourners were present.

Thackeray never held any official positions, and he was never officially elected as the head of his party.

Early life

Thackeray was born in Pune on January 23, 1926, the son of Keshav Sitaram Thackeray (also known as 'Prabodhankar') and his wife Ramabai Thackeray. The family is a member of the Marathi Chandraseniya Prabhu family in the South. Thackeray's uncle, Keith Thackeray, died in a tragic manner, while five brothers (Sanjeet Thackeray) and five sisters (Sudha) Tipnis, Latay (Pama) remained the eldest of eight siblings, three of whom were brothers Shrikant Thackeray (father of Raj Thackeray) and Ramesh Thackeray) and five sisters (Sudha) Susay

Bal's father, Keshav Thackeray, was a journalist and cartoonist by trade; he was also a social activist and writer who was interested in the creation of a united state named Maharashtra for Marathi-speaking areas, with Mumbai as its capital. Bal Thackeray was inspired by his father's political philosophy.

Personal life

Thackeray married Meena Thackeray (née Sarla Vaidya) on June 13, 1948 and had three sons, oldest son Bindumadhav, middle son Jaidev, and youngest son Uddhav. Meena died in 1995 and Bindumadhav died the following year in a car crash. Uddhav took over Shiv Sena's leadership after his father was killed. Aditya, Uddhav's son, wants to pass on the family's lineage by participating in the movement.

Shrikant's uncle is Raj, and he is the brother of his sister. Despite Raj's departure from the main party, Raj continues to insist that Thackeray was his ideologue and that their friendships during Thackeray's tenure. Raj left Shiv Sena to form the Maharashtra Sena, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena party.

Sanjeevani Karandikar, Bal Thackeray's sister, is the head of the family.

Apart from contributing to Saamna until 2012, Thackeray drew cartoons for the Free Press Journal, the Times of India, and Marmik. David Low, a New Zealander cartoonist, was inspired by his inspiration.

Bal Thackeray Career

Career

Thackeray began his work as a cartoonist in Mumbai's Free Press Journal. His cartoons were also published in The Times of India's Sunday edition. News Day: Following Thackeray's differences with the Free Press Journal, he and four or five people, including politician George Fernandes, decided against the newspaper and started their own daily. The paper survived for one to two months. With his brother Srikant, he and his sister Marmik created the cartoon weekly Marmik in 1960. It was focusing on topics of common "Marathi Manoos" (Marathi people or Marathi speakers), including unemployment, influx of migrants, retrenchment of Marathi workers, and its headquarters in Ranade Road, which became the rallying point for Marathi youth. "Not only a cartoon weekly, but also the primary reason for the Sena's birth and expansion" was cited later, according to Bal Thackeray. On June 5, 1966, it was Marmik, which first reported the initiation of the Shiv Sena.
