Raj Thackeray-The incarnation of Nathuram Godse
by Harish on Feb 17, 2008 06:16 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

One person believed that we are Indians before being possessed by any religion, race, caste or creed. Being a victim of discrimination in South Africa he opposed it and then got back to his motherland to kick the Britishers out of his country by a simple policy of non-violence. That freedom struggle would be appreciated by every human being born on earth for centuries to come (probably "appreciated" is a undermining word).
His name would replace non-violence in the dictionary.
And today in the country which renamed its most beloved leader as the "Father of the Nation" , people like Raj Thackeray are defining Indians by virtue of their ethnicity. Hahaha....
Its a shame as to how low people like this can stoop down just to gain some political publicity and clout.
"All Indians are my Brothers and sisters..." is one phrase every Indian student pledges time and again irrespective of being a Marathi, Tamilian, Gujrathi or .....
But am not sure what school Raj Thackeray went to......

Hush! Don't write like this in this message board, you may be banned for life. Afterall you are commenting on an article written by saheed Nathuram's own people. Please be respectful to HIM.

Equating Raj with Shaheed Nathuram Godse shows only your ignorance. Nathuramji was not an RSS man, but a Hindu Maha Sabha member, a fact often deliberately obfuscated by people like you to denigrate RSS. Nathuramji was very critical of RSS and did not approve of its 'soft' approach. Well, what he did could not be justified, but he was no less a patriot than the man he assassinated or the whole lot of Congress leaders who ruled the nation after him
