It all started by regionalism and Bal started his political journey by targeting south Indians even calling them yandugunduwalas and lunghiwalas during the late 60's. Then the tide turned to Biharis and Gujarathis.
The plot was simple "attack lethally" and pack them home.
All the chest thumping dialogues for the ultra nationalism crazy people by shouting the name of Pakistan through his party media Samna and in rallies were mainly due to the fact that his popularity was dwindling and he needed something to be on news, hence Pakistan specific comments got him huge supporters, like the few ones here.
It was the ruling Congress party that nurtured and supported the Shiv Sena for over two decades from the mid-sixties to the mid-eighties. In the early phase, this support was given to break the Communist hold over the trade union movement in Mumbai; in the later phase, it was to settle factional scores within the Congress itself. At the same time, it is also true that, with the sole exception of the Communists, all other opposition parties in the state have also collaborated with the Shiv Sena at various times, their leaders sharing the platform with the Shiv Sena supremo and some of them even going to the extent of striking electoral alliances with the Shiv Sena in local elections.
The Shiv Sena has always been under the authoritarian grip of its demagogic supremo Bal Thackeray, who has never disguised his contempt for democracy and adulation of dictatorship. His servile support to the Emergency was couched in these ideological terms. Thackeray has publicly glorified the likes of Adolf Hitler .
Attacks on South Indian establishments became a regular feature, and it was then that the extortion racket under the name of “protection money” began. In 1968, cinema theatres screening Hindi films brought out by South Indian producers were attacked and the shows brought to a halt. The shows began only when considerable sums of money changed hands. Demonstrations were held on government concerns demanding jobs for Maharashtrians, and many of these turned violent.
He only likes people from his state.
Who cares what you have to say, yandugunduwala...?
