Bal Keshav Thackeray was born on January 23, 1926, popularly known as Balasaheb Thackeray, is the founder and chief of the Shiv Sena, a Hindu nationalist, Marathi ethnocentric and populist party active mainly in the western Indian state of Maharashtra.
Thackeray was born to Keshav Sitaram Thackeray alias Prabodhankar Thackeray because of his articles in his fortnightly magazine named Prabodhan or “Enlightenment” in a lower-middle class family. Keshav Thackeray was a progressive social activist and writer who was against caste biases and played a key role in the Samyukta Maharashtra Chalwal (literally, United Maharashtra Movement) in the 1950s to form the Marathi-speaking state of Maharashtra along with Mumbai (erstwhile Bombay) as its capital.
Bal Thackeray started his career as a cartoonist in the Free Press Journal in Mumbai in the 1950s. His cartoons were also published in the Sunday edition of The Times of India. In 1960, he launched a cartoon weekly Marmik with his brother Shrikant Thackeray. He used it to campaign against the growing influence of non-Marathi people in Mumbai targetting south indian labor workers.
Bal Thackeray got married to Meena Thackeray and gave birth to three sons - Bindumadhav Thackeray, Jaidev Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray. Bindumadhav Thackeray was killed in road accident and Jaidev Thackeray was/is least bothered in doing politics. Uddhav Thackeray is executive president of the Shiv Sena.
Bal Thackeray formed the Shiv Sena on June 19th, 1966 with the intent of fighting for the rights of the natives of the state of Maharashtra – Maharashtrians – Marathi Manoos. The early objective of the Shiv Sena was to ensure job security for Maharashtrians against immigrants from Southern India and Gujaratis and Marwaris.
Thackeray has claimed that the Shiv Sena has helped the Marathi manoos in Mumbai, especially in the public sector. Opposition leftist parties allege that the Shiv Sena has done little to solve the problem of unemployment facing a large proportion of Maharashtrian youth during its tenure, in contradiction to its ideological foundation of sons of the soil.
