Bal Thackeray who talks too much is not a Mumbaikar: Prof Hari Narke
S.O. News service, Wednesday, 25 June 2008: MUMBAI: The 'insider-outsider' controversy has taken a new twist. The Thackerays � Shiv Sena supremo Bal and his nephew and MNS founder Raj � may be against migrants in the city, but they themselves do not originally belong to Mumbai, a professor has claimed. Like every other person in Mumbai, the Thackerays too came to Mumbai for jobs two generations ago and as such have no right to assault those coming to the financial capital in search of livelihood, said Hari Narke, professor at Mahatma Phule chair in Pune University, in an article published in Rashtravadi, the mouthpiece of the Nationalist Congress Party. Known for being politically savvy, Mr Narke has flayed Raj Thackeray over attacks on migrants in Mumbai. The professor's 'research' on Thackeray's origin is incidentally based on the writings of another Thackeray. ÂRaj should read the autobiography of his grandfather Prabodhankar Thackeray, Mr Narke says. Prabodhankar, Bal's father and his younger brother Srikant Thackeray, who is Raj's father, studied in Madhya Pradesh. He has written about how he travelled to other states for livelihood.ÂThis proves that the Thackerays, who are not original inhabitants of Mumbai, came to this city in search of a livelihood, the scholar says. The article recalls how Mr Narke was instrumental in getting Prabodhankar's writings published in 1995 by the Maharashtra government. ÂWho gave those, who came to Mumbai two generations ago to earn their livelihood, the right to beat up others who also come here in search of jobs? Mr Narke has questioned.ÂIt does not behove people who live 24 hours a day seeped in history to forget the history of just over two generations, Mr Narke's article says. With the NCP chief Sharad Pawar being Mr Thackeray's close friend, it will be interesting to see how the Sena and its mouthpiece Saamna reacts to this piece of work. Then what should be done? Yes. He should be kicked back with his kiths and kins to Madhya Pradesh. Comments (1) Login to post your comment Ritik wrote on 02 November, 2008
