    ()

    About this ebook

    Vaibhav Purandare grew up in Mumbai in the 1980s and 90s, the tumultuous decades in which Bal Thackeray and his Shiv Sena went from being regional political players to champions of a militant Hindutva that carried their rhetoric and rage across India. He began his journalistic career with the political newsmagazine Blitz in 1993, in the early part of which Thackeray and his organisation played a key role in the Mumbai riots, and has since worked with India’s leading newspapers such as The Indian Express, The Asian Age, Daily News and Analysis (DNA), Mid Day and Mumbai Mirror, apart from writing for a host of other publications. His first book, The Sena Story was published in 1999, when he was only 23. His second book, Sachin Tendulkar: A Definitive Biography (Roli Books) and is now into its fifth edition. He is currently Senior Associate Editor with the Hindustan Times, Mumbai.

    Introduction

    Bal Keshav Thackeray, or Balasaheb Thackeray, was an Indian politician and the founder of the Shiv Sena, a right-wing pro-Marathi & Hindu nationalist organization active mostly in Maharashtra.

    Thackeray has allegedly incited violent clashes between Muslims and Hindus throughout the years. The most infamous episode occurred in 1992-1993 when anti-Muslim rioting in Mumbai lasted for several weeks and resulted in the deaths of almost 1,000 people.

    Thackeray stated that he was "not against each and every" Muslim despite being known to speak highly of Adolf Hitler. In contrast, he said in an interview, "I consider those Muslims who live in this nation but do not obey the rules of the land traitors."

    Early Life and Family

    Prabodhankar Thackeray and his wife Ramabai Thackeray's son Thackeray was born on January 23, 1926, in Pune. The family is a member of the Chandraseniya Kayastha Prabhu community of Marathi Hindus.
