Bal Thackeray and the Muslim chronicles

This headline may be novelty for a few people but for those who know the political compulsions of Shiv Sena and its chief, it is a stale one. The story is how two Muslims doctors from Lilavati Hospital-Dr Jaleel Parkar and Dr Samad Ansari-rushed to his house administered him medical help at Matoshri and then brought him to the hospital's ICU in an ambulance.
And all these while the Shiv Sena have earned notoriety for spreading hatred against Muslims. If Shiv Sena hadn’t made its notorious hatred against Muslims and then against the North Indians, they would have perished long time back.

This is because a few political parties thrive on issues, which has no relevance to the common man. BSP is another example. If caste system is eliminated from India, then Mayawati will not survive. If Marathas want their pie in Maharashtra, they put NCP in survival mode. The same way Shiv Sena is known for its negative and destructive politicking and only spreading hatred can do this. If you spread love, who on earth will vote for you? If love was a political symbol, Missionaries of Charity should be contesting the polls.
Bal Thackeray has a Muslim driver; his family consists of multi lingual multi cultural incumbents including his close ones. I had the opportunity to meet Suresh Thackeray, his brother’s son who was a Christian Missionary. He married a Malayali nurse and ran a school in Junagadh where the hardline Hindu zealots tried to snatch his booming school business from him by framing him in a case and then later some Christian leaders tried to snatch it under the disguise of saving him from the long hands of law.
Disgruntled, he left for Jharkand where he was preaching Bible and one day I learnt that he died in an accident. I don’t know whether it was a real accident or an alleged murder.
I also know a tribal girl from Narmada district who was brilliant in studies and applied for medical test in one of the colleges in Maharashtra. She was selected but was asked to pay the capitation fee. The nun who was accompanying this girl asked the trustee if there was a way out since they could not pay such a huge capitation fee. He replied that only the patron can help and he sent both of them to Matoshree.
She not only got the admission but Thackeray asked the school management to reduce her fees too. I am not aware where this girl is now but I know where that nun is. She is trying to get more such talented tribal children to various academic studies.
So don’t be surprised if Shiv Sena puts more hatred into the streets of Mumbai and still continues to get help from those against whom they have spread the hatred. This is Indian politics.
