Why Raj Thackrey Sucks more

He sucks more than other leaders of his league because he belongs to our generation. He was born in a liberal country and has seen very little prejudice, especially in the city where he was raised. He was educated with people like us, in schools like ours with people of different religions and regions. He has come of age hearing about the expectations of the whole country from his generation. He took the odd step and came into politics and made our generation proud, only to disappoint in a moment.

I remember a time, not so long back, when we were excited about the political scene sans the Sanghs, the filthy criminal politicians, the goon raj and all the self proclaimed moral policing organizations. I remember watching YUVA and how correct it seemed and how, first time in my life, I wanted to believe in a Bollywood flick. I remember a college debate in which one of the participants talked about how five years from then, most or all of the politicians would be either dead or too old to talk and how a young breed of leaders (not politicians) would skyrocket country’s development. In one blow, all that is a goner.

He has single handedly taken all our misconceptions of seeing an India, led by virtuous young breed of pro-development leaders. He has proved once again that doing away with secularism is a small price that leaders today and prospective leaders of tomorrow are ready to pay to stay in power. He has proudly burst our bubble of the image of an India free from caste, religion and regional politics.

Neenaz Ichaporia of IBN Blogs says it all
“What Mumbaikars prize more than anything else about their city, is the ability to step out at any hour, unmolested, and roam the city unharmed……

..…Thackeray and his MNS goons have chipped away at that confidence.”

In fact I am not sure whether we should burn him at the stake or thank him, for he has indeed opened our eyes to the fact that young or not, politicians are politicians and they will never change. My faith in the next generation leaders is FUBARed and I am not sure if I'll be trusting these young-uns anymore, but is it not a lesson we should have learned long back? The youngest country of the world could so easily be led by world’s youngest imbeciles.
