Love him or hate him, no one can
deny the fact that Bal Thackerey was a true leader. He was courageous and always
stood for his own beliefs, qualities that were abandoned a long time ago by his
peers. Thackerey’s brand of politic s was not limited to mere lip service. His
firm resolve helped him convert his thoughts into tangible action. At a time
when majority of Indian polity shied away from clarity on critical issues,
Thackerey offered unambiguous and firm opinions. He was never apologetic about
his core convictions. Our current bunch of leaders could learn so much from Thackerey's leadership qualities. If only they could keep the ideological differences aside and look at the functional side of the one and only Bal Thackerey...
The last two decades witnessed
other right wing parties including the BJP losing focus. So much so that BJP has
started resembling the Indian National Congress not only in the total lack of
creativity and dynamism, but also in terms or corruption and ideological stagnancy.
India is a big country in terms of its mere size, human resource and resilience.
But, we also need leaders with courage, vision and dignity who are in touch
with the grssroots of this great nation. Here is hoping for the best....
