Bal Thackeray and Indira Gandhi had a few similarities. Both were aggressive, undemocratic in their ways and with a mind of their own. Thackeray wore ‘Marathism’ on his sleeves. He will be remembered as a man who took on one and all, if he had a different point of view. On his demise, his son Uddhav will no doubt try hold his flock together. But with Maharashtra politics already divided into four parties, it remains to be seen if Uddhav Thackeray can stay afloat.
