Ageing Shiv Sena patriarch Bal Thackeray on Monday alienated himself from millions of Indians when he attacked the country's icon and Maharashtra's most loved son, Sachin Tendulkar, for saying that "Mumbai belonged to all Indians". In an editorial in the Sena mouthpiece, Saamna, Thackeray, warned Sachin to "keep off the political pitch" for his own well-being. Or else, he would have "run out" from Marathi minds.What do you guys say?  Whom should we should support?

Being a Indian Sachin said he is a proud Maharashtrian, Mombay is part of India and he played for India. I dont think there was nothing in Sachin's statement to warrant the charge of betrayal.What you guys says?

okay ..  but bal thackerays only mistake was he promoted udav in place of raj thackeray ...

may be love for son( made him a dhritrashtara to support duryodhana in place of raj ( arjuna )

by the way ... maharashtra is a major contributer to indians GDP ..most of the companies are there .. strategic advantage ..maharashtrians are good office workers ..

feel hota hai .sir, . they earn money and crores go to kashmir ..or else where ..

and mind you ,if you don't have stuff you cannot make lakhs dance to your words at shivaji park ,DADAR

my point is bal thackeray is ( The good , The bad and The ugly - three in one )

open to thumbs down and brickbats ..  but this is my perception ..i may be wrong .

1) Thackrey states Maharsahtr and Mumbai are for Maharastrians, those who are born and brought up in Mumbai

Thackrey was born in Madhaya Pradesh , hos can he be son of soil then

2) Thackrey states sons of soils need to get preference

Then who stops his sons fo soil from studying, why has he not developed trust and foundations where he can divert a few laksh from his crores and crores to needy marathi students

3 Thackery states , outsiders shoudl give marathi due respect

Please firts learn to speak Hindi propoerly it is our nationl language, please learn to protect govt and public propoerty, if all non maharastrians leave Mumbai will be a desert

Mr Thackery please understadn if you are cursinga north Indian for working in Mumbai it is because you are ineffecient to do that work else how can he coem here adn get a job

Any perosn who is effecient and hard working will get a job any where if he is willing to do any job so in mumbai you have mansy non marathi doing following

1) driving rickshaw/ taxi

2) selling milk

3) selling vegetables

4) selling grains

5) selling clothes

6) doing business

7) running stock market

8) running TV channels

9) running hospitals

10) running business empires

11) running education instituon and imparting knowledge to marathi manoos children also

12) running banks

Mr Thackery these are comments of a marathi manoss who origin since past 19 generations are in Maharashtra.

First we are Indians. Every country in the world look at us for our unity indiversity and respect us for the same.

Why should we resort to this divisive tactics.

Let us be proud indians and serve the nation with pride.

marathi manoos themselves are not going to like what bal thackrey has said about tendulkar.

secondly, one also wonders what is mumbai sans the non maharashtians, will it be the same 'Mumbai'?

The difference between political representative and sports representative is , former playes on people's psyche and tries to impress people from behind the screen,where as the later has to play his role infront of people to impress.Bal Thackeray is old enough and lost his thinking maturity, where as Tendulkar is also old enough by his cricketing exprience,but a matured gentleman.Sports has always brought nation and world togather by means of their hard work and sweat, is their any politician who can bring nation and world togather?Why should we  compare between a regional player and international player!

As the matter was dying down Sena once again brought it in the limelight by explaining why Sachin was not a true Maharashtrian. Samna’s editor Raut wrote, “There has been no instance of Sachin extending a helping hand to other Marathi cricketers. Forget others, he did not even support Vinod Kambli. In contrast, Gavaskar when he captained India, had half the team drawn from Mumbai and Maharashtra. He gave Test caps to many Marathi players including Suru Naik and Zulphikar Parkar at least for one match. In this context, Gavaskar is a genuine 'Maharashtrian' and the whole country loves him even now in the same way.

Do you think Shiv Sena is right at condemning Sachin’s statements? Leave your comment...

@ Ajay sir

Sir, agreed that he might be a good man and conditions have made him like this. But this doesn't mean that he can unnecessary castigate anybody or Sachin as a matter of fact. Even a murderer can be good at heart & conditions could have provoked him, but this excuse won't give him impunity. The fact is that Shiv Sena & MNS are indulging in petty & partisan politics which is destructive for the Indian nation as a whole. 

Sir, according to me it would take lots of optimism & heart for anybody to see the good side of Bal Thakery, so it's a thumbs up from me...... LOL .......

I think Thakrey's are fighting for there existance in public mind. They want to be in lime light and they are doing things like this. Who deny that no one is Indian here. I must say that I am Indian first and then religion or region come in picture. First you feel that what you are. Coz of this kind of people India was forcefully ruled by britishers. Let them everyone feel proud to be Indian first otherwise they not deserve to live anywhere in India. Region make the nation but Nation is prior than a State.

'Samna' is a media tool that has been engaged by Sena to spread their views. Therefore, the publishing of an editorial in the publication by the Sena chief is quite natural. However, if we have something unfortunate here, those are the views cultivated by the Sena chief that largely amounted to rabble rousing, as well as the fact that there still exist a section of people that thinks this could be right.

Sachin Tendulkar, on the other hand might never have thought about things culminating into this sort of a whirlpool - a better expression is 'storm in a tea cup' - when he just tried to answer some innocuous questions of the scribes. Anyway following the interesting developments, the majority of Indians have had themselves placed behind a post, with the miinority - the ultra Marathas (Manoos)- behind the other. The soothing fact whatsoever is that the majority of the sensible Manoos have already made their part clear in the state elections.

So what is left is publicity. Tendulkar may not be going begging for that until he parts with the talent of scoring a hundred in an innings, while for the poor man on the other side these are golden opportunities that are dropped from the heavens. The rest is perceivable, he grabbed that with both his hands and spoofed the entire world by acieving his goal - publicity.

I think we dont have to think on whatever Bal Thackeray is saying,  bcoz he is thinking not any thing about our nation India. He is a bad politician and he is just trying to collect his votes by deviating peoples. This is not the right way or thinking , i think we r Indians so we r free to go anywhere in India and take job or live. If do work by following Bal Thackeray then we will have to fight with  each other and this is not good for any developing country.

      How any one can say that Bal Thackeray is right? We have to make the MAHARASHTRA  another country bcoz if any Indian people from a region is not allowed to work in the another region of India so this is nothing but "DADAGIRI" only.Overall i can  say that this is the "GHATIHYA RAJNITI" of Bal Thackeray so we dont have to follow him either we r marathi, bihari or anything else ......

     And wat to say about Sachin Tendulkar there is not any comparison between Sachin Tendulkar and that Thackeray ............ha ha

I think its just sheer frustration of loosing those elections making the thackeray's to go on a such extreme, just to make themselves in the line of media and take center stage in Maharashtra with their Mumbai for marathi's which is so out dated concept, by the next elections hope they are history.

The persons like BAL THACKERAY are just spoiling the country's environment.why they are just trying to discriminate marathies from rest of the citizens of India.Putting a remark on a person like SACHIN is showing the character of THACKERAY.

we all are indians,we should not raise such issues.Itr's our country,we can live anywhere.NO region should be privilezed to particular persons.

Analyzing these statements one can deduce a few things about Mr. Bal Thakerey. One- he is showing signs of aging, two- he seems to be paranoid & disillusioned & three- he hates cricket. Because nobody else would ever try to take on such a harmless soul & probably the only reason that unites India - cricket's god Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin has done much more than just playing cricket. He has made us believe that we are Indians and Indians can win. His humility on & off the field has been commendable. When he plays the nation comes to a halt. Perhaps it's the only time when India feels like a nation. Otherwise we are a conglomerate of inter-conflicting states. Sachin is not just a cricketer, he's a living legend, an ambassador of unity & his statements just reflect that. 

With Shiv Sena losing ground in it's base, I would advice Mr. Thakerey a few options. He can always revert back to being a cartoonist, he was damn good at that. Or he can quit politics & go for a teerth, this will soothe the disturbance inside him. He should try & find peace in spirituality & when he comes back he will indeed be a wiser man. God bless him.

Sachin is the son of this soil who delivered when it mattered the most.Serving the nation for 20 long years in the best interests of the country is an achievement in itelf. Bal Thackeray and his team should be ashamed of under delivering to Mumbai (They disappeared during 26-11 but were at their best to sabotage poor Biharis). Think it's time for them to listen to the new remix of "mere haatho mein 9-9 chudiyaan hain" instead of trying to meddle with the cricket pitch.

Hey ....frnds i jst wanaa say Sachin did the exact right thing n dere was no better tym for him to say this now as he completed 20 years in International Cricket . I mentioned about the right tym to speak for him b'coz dis MARATHI thing in MAHARASHTRA is really becoming a big problem nowadays as we all know. And when Sachin says something then if not the whole world atleast whole INDIA pays attention to it......In d mean time it was jst soo foolish of Thackrey to speak against him ...i dont knw wat forced his mind to speak against SACHIN- one of d biggest icon of INDIA.

For Thackrey I can only say dat .............Jab Naash Manush kaa aata hai , Pahle Vivek mar jaata hai. hahhaha

Sachin can not be confined to the walls of Maharashtra,as the state compared to INDIA is too small to house him. Respected Bal Thackeray is not singing in tune.I do not understand that why such a great person is trying to undo what has been achieved by the efforts of Sardar Patel & co. A unified INDIA is being disintegrated for selfish faimily gain.Can some one give  me one reason , Why, TENDULKAR CAN  not JOIN POLITICS. Is it only  for the relatives of.................

Indians are proud that Sachin like personalities we have. the thakary's just making them selves to public remeberence. If not they dont servive. It is shameful that a Indian not accepting he is Indian. the govt. should think about shiv sena and MNS banning from the public appearence.

Tendulkar is proud to be a Maharashtrian to feel that he is an Indian first.

Bal Thackeray is ashamed to be a Maharashtrian to attack on True Indian.

I am sure “Indian pride Maratha heroes”, who have been fighting on behalf Thakerays will now wake up and teach a lesson to their mentors.

Why is there even a Bal thackeray side as an option, I guess I dont see nobody supporting that side apart from the MNS guys alone....sachin is right and nobody should question about his statement Mumbai for all Indians, and if Shiv sena attacks Tendulkars property, strict action should be taken against the culprits.

I think this Shiv sena the MNS and the thackeray's are just trying to grab eyeballs of the public by attacking personalities like Sachin tendulkar who is cricket's our own god. And in another incident where they attacked Abu azmi because he took oath in Marathi. These people are creating this rift among the people with their stupid ideologies and what sachin did was right and his statement Mumbai for all Indians shows how a great personality Sachin is and that should be the attitude of each and every person in the country and if sachin says something people listen and he has used the right time like, the day when he reached 20 years of cricket in his life, came out and gave statement like this, this also shows sachin is not going to take something which will be hurting Mumbai's pride. Nobody should support these thackeray's, their ideologies are full of crap and some serious action should be taken against them.

i have all repect for bal thackeray as a cartoonist ..

i tell you ,his cartoons are a real beauty and RK Laxman cannot match it's class.

bal thackeray and samna are synonymous ..

but thackeray sahib should inspire and shape the destiny of india and not just maharashtra ..

india needs a feurher thackeray and not just bombay , baramati , kolhapur or sholapur ..

he should try to reverse the defeat of marathas in the third battle of panipat at the hands of ahmed shah abdaali.

yeah furherer , wake up sid , we all need you ..get going the lion of .......india..
