Why Raj Thackeray should be taken seriously

Monday, January 4th, 2010

All that looks good is not necessarily good and what is generally perceived to be bad can be good for the society. Raj Thackeray style of politics is largely criticized by civil society and it should if it is breaking society. But what people have to realize that the man is getting support and has created solid base in Maharashtra despite the presence of all major national and regional political parties. The question is why and how he is progressing if his acts are deplorable? It is a fashion in our country to target public figure without probing the sin committed by them, score of people in different states piled up cases against Raj Thackeray, several courts issue notices and warrants against him but for what? The answer is simple that the authorities are looking for cheap publicity by framing Raj Thackeray. Nobody is seriously trying to put their own house in order to help native people of their own territory; instead they opt for a simple solution of blaming Raj Thackeray for all the problems faced by people in their respective states. He is framed to be a villain for all the misdeeds committed collectively by ruling elites in the so called backwards states.
