Should the Marathis really trust Raj Thackeray


Where did raj thackeray make so much money from. He is not the son of an industrialist after all. Neither was/is a maverick of the workings of the share market. Can the motivation of a guy who made money through non-hard work actually be trusted, even if the guy makes statements that strike an emotional chord with the majority of his followers. Movie actors also play parts in movies, but the characters they play need not represent their values in real life. When an individual commits a sin against society, corruption being one of them, can the individual in all honesty stand up to the idolatory representation of an impeccable character in public, in the depth of his heart. If he does make statements in public as a means of survival in a valueless society may be his motivations can be excused. But if he takes an initiative to represents stands that do strike an emotional chord with a section of a society that demand a change, from what they percieve as a source of oppression, real or imagined; in such a case can his motivations still be excused.

Mr Thackeray does seem to represent a case of corruption amounting to a sum of 300 crore rupees. If such an individual is the poster boy for saving the marathi's from real or imagined threats, does it not speak tomes about the progress that the marathi's will make under such a leadership.

When a person really believes in his motivations, no matter how evil they may be to the liberal at heart, the base emotion that produces the motivation can atleast be understood if analyzed from a viewpoint that take in to consideration the fallacies of human nature. But if the motivations expressed are not even true to the core fiber that make up the individuals sense of integrity, then the question that needs to be answered is; how big of a crime is it, if such motivations fuel the drives for freedom, sacrifice and everything else innocent and noble in the collective conciousness of the group to whom the motivations are directed. The nature of this crime should really be be pondered over by people who can think and who do believe in the non-relativeness of the evil of acts involving brainwashing of innocents.
