Vijya Tendulkar selectively criticised only shiv sena during his career. never crticised congress misrule. congress showered him with awards.he was one of the coitre of sena bashing page 3 writers that the congress maintained on its payroll. he was nothing as compared to great marathi writers like Pu La Deshpande , Da Ma Mirasdar, Shankar Patil , Madhu Mangesh Karnik who took digs at all parties and were not pro or anti any particular parties.

I just cant recount when Da Maa Mirasdar took a dig @ Janta Party or Shivsena.He was always behind Congress.Check out his books and correct your facts.

I won't say PL was coward, but PL was more diplomatic. He avoided hurting people directly. At the time of MaharashtraBhushan, he did not say word about what Thakrey family was doing. Also, he did not come out openly against emergancy.
Unlike PL, VT was frank and open minded. He spoke his mind without thinking of it's effects. I think, this needs guts.
Despite this, both were great writers. Of course it needs intelligence to understand that not all will think alike and sing the same song as yours.
Bheja Fry and Iyer, Are you understand marathi? if yes, do you understand literature? if not, please do not comment like sily. Of course again, it needs intelligence to understand when to keep mouth shut. That's why we see so many fools around like Bheja Fry and Iyer.

You're very right, BhejaFry, and never mind the accolades that're flowing in simply because he's dead. Vijay Tendulkar was a hyped up hypocrite, whose criticisms were rather selective. He raged about Gujarat, while never once opening his mouth about the Hindus of Kashmir or elsewhere. Pity India continues to revere such glorified hypocrites, as Bal Thackeray would put it.

Most people post condolence without knowing the person... I am neither gonna condole, nor condemn, for i do not know him... From the article i read on TOI, he said nasty words against Modi.. For this, i might give him my punjabi punch... But i am really gonna excused him, for i really do not know him... May lord give him a rebirth (salvation is not possible), at some sullah land..
