Bal Thackeray's father was already a respected journalist and had a newspaper of his own, so Bal Thackeray, like many other cartoonists, was contributing to another newspaper, he did not need to do it for a salary. And if Free Press Journal could not pay him the paper should have declined Bal Thakeray's contributions. How so you say that Thackeray family has not contributed to the community? They have given a voice to Maharashtrians in Maharashtra. Why should you grudge them a good life, which Maharashtrians have given them. I am no great admirer of Thackerays, but when people from every corner of the country were cornering every job in the city and even in the state through simple nepotism and unabashedly parochial considerations, each one bringing in a dozen of his undeserving country-cousins to so so jobs that they did not deserve, Thackerays were the family that stood up to this dishonesty. Of course, you do not read Marathi, but Marathi newspapers were full of stories of multinationals preferring matriculate outsiders to graduate Maharashtrians. Not for any other reason, but the key person in recruitment was outsider. Mumbai Telephones was full of UPians, right from linesmen to the GM. That was due to brazen parochialism. Now railways are being filled eith Biharis, thans to the Hon'ble Railway minister.

I was referring to Prabodhankar Thackeray. He was Bal's father and had a newspaper called Prabodhan. I have not said I support violence. You are implying that Maharshtrians lack merit, which they aught to earn and also implying that people from other states deverve the jobs because they have the merit that Maharashtrians lack. Examine these premises yourself and you will know that these are illogical. Mumbai telephones was filled with UPians, do you think that Maharshtrians cannot lay a telephone line. It is well known that Lalu is filling railways with Biharis, do you mean to tell me that a Maharashtrian cannot be a train inspector? In 1960s it was an unwritten rule in Mumbai that Maharashtrians will not find a decent job. It was only after Sthanik Lokadhikar Samiti was started by Shiv Sena that Maharashtrains began finding jobs even as peons in offices. It was sheer nepotism, parochialism and breaking of undertakings by people from other states that had come to occupy places of power in private and public organizatons that this was happening. There was a strike in MIDC Aurangabad in the 1970s because the entrepreneurs there had undertaken to employ locals to 30 percent jobs, but refused to honor their word. You mean Maharashtrians cannot even operate lathes, pressses and drills? Come on, be a realist, our only fault is that we showed too much tolerance.

but also with those of planets elsewhere in light years beyond in the Cosmos with love and affection! Only voracious reading to acquire right knowledge is the right path and hence this family should have offered opportunities to all youth to read, read and read in a huge library of right knowledge!
