Really? Not so long ago Bal Thackeray had problems with non-Marathis. How about his statement -

"However, the Sena chief added that those who gave excuses of constitutional rights of every Indian to live and work in any part of the country should keep in mind that this right was not exercised at the cost of the locals."

This itself shows Bal Thackeray's prejudice.

You idiot. If Nitish can be worried about Biharis, Mulayam can be worried about UP's, Karunanidhi can be worried about Tamils then why can't Bal Thackeray be worried about Marathis?

Read his original editorial in Marathi instead of making your opinion on translated English then you will know what he has to say about Marathi and Hindutva.

When did I say Bal Thackeray cannot be worried about Marathis? But he is prejudiced against non-Marathis, not just worried about Marathis. Bal Thackeray fails to realize that Mumbai has developed due to contributions from all Indians, and not just Marathis.

Instead of advising me to read junk Bal Thackeray's editorials, why don't you tell me what is the great revelation that Thackeray made in them?
