On 17th of November a great soul left and abandoned us all behind and went to the heaven forsaking us all with only the memories. His memories will always be there in our heart but the greatest grief is that "THE TIGER" has left us.
Balasaheb Keshav Thackrey was born on 23 January 1926 to Keshav Sitaram Thackeray. He commenced his career as a cartoonist and also attained a lot of fame due to his wonderful and spellbinding cartoons with English Language Daily THE FREE PRESS JOURNAL but left in 1960 to start his own political weekly MARMIK. His political theory and ideology was immensely influenced by his father Keshav Sitaram Thackrey, a great name and a leading figure in Samyukta Maharashtra Movement (Unified Maharashtra Movement). Through Marmik Mr. Balasaheb Thackrey campaigned against the growing influence of Gujaratis, Marwaris and South Indians in Maharashtra and in 1966 he formed the Shiv Sena Party to enter into the politics and here starts the career of the acclaimed and famed "TIGER". Although On July 28, 1999 Thackeray was banned from voting and contesting in any election for six years from December 11, 1999 till December 10, 2005 on the recommendations of the Election Commission but still he portrayed active involvement in the politics. He was outspoken and candid but he was a great man. He always played every game of life with great power and seriousness. But his image was tarnished when people started considering him as a Hindu Orthodox and a foe to all other religions. But he was a great person who was always wonderful.
