Since it is inevitable that #ShivSena will be secularised and portrayed as those who fought for Marathi pride, I think we should crowd source a reality check thread. Here's my first contribution: https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/people-who-don-t-believe-in-veer-savarkar-must-be-beaten-up-in-public-uddhav-thackeray-1590898-2019-08-23
2. #YoSenaSoSecular In the context of the controversy of the day, ie, the one caused by @PragyaTiwari (couldn't resist. Kshama) here's another gem from the Sena stable. https://www.business-standard.com/article/economy-policy/nathuram-godse-a-patriot-shiv-sena-110122900085_1.html
And the new Chanakya himself: https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/sanjay-raut-muslims-voting-rights-shiv-sena-saamna-248230-2015-04-12

Man, I always had memory of the fact that the Sena was at par with a lot of the deranged Sadhu types when it came to crazy comments. Lovely to collate the evidence.
More from Sanjay Bhau Raut. So maybe the media should ask Soniaji (imagine asking Soniaji a fucking question) whether she condones these views of the #ShivSena and as to how different they are from #PragyaPraisesGodse
Let's just stick to the modern #ShivSena shall we? Lest we're told Uddhav/Aditya are the Renaissance to Balasaheb's Dark Ages and we're too short-sighted to recognize this. Here's an absolute beauty: Sanjay Raut: We demolished Babri Masjid in 17 minutes: https://m.economictimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/we-demolished-babri-masjid-in-17-minutes-why-modi-govt-is-taking-so-much-time-on-ram-temple-shiv-senas-sanjay-raut/articleshow/66771545.cms
And as a reminder that the modern #ShivSena is true to its roots, here's Balasaheb's views on the demolition of the Babri Masjid. https://www.huffingtonpost.in/2018/12/05/babri-demolition-from-lk-advani-to-bal-thackeray-here-are-the-key-players_a_23607892/
This is one of my favourites. #ShivSena demanding burqa ban in India for that most reviled of things - the national security exception. And the Bee Jay Peeeee - the effin' Gaumutrawalas - saying NO! https://www.indiatoday.in/elections/lok-sabha-2019/story/nda-ally-muslim-board-chairman-oppose-burqa-ban-demand-by-shiv-sena-1514242-2019-05-01
Get onto JSTOR and read this (pic 1) which has such wonderful extracts as the one in pic 2
My memory was right. #ShivSena has always been the more kattar group. If Hindutva was a football team, BJP would be the "prawn sandwich brigade" (use Google) and the #ShivSena would be the ultras. For ex: https://m.economictimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/shiv-sena-asks-rss-bjp-bhakts-to-clear-stand-on-nationalism/articleshow/62458114.cms
And if nothing else works, there's always this wonderful Wikipedia entry on the Bombay Riots: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombay_riots
Another worthy addition h/t to @malludoc https://www.outlookindia.com/newsscroll/amp/india-would-not-be-partitioned-if-savarkar-was-pm-thackeray/1621577?__twitter_impression=true
Here's another excellent thread to add to this one: https://twitter.com/Burnolguy/status/1200017643534635008?s=19
Welcome to today's edition of #YoSenaSoSecular The next few entries are with a h/t to @her1n First up is #ShiveSena's abiding love for #pragyathakur (and probably @PragyaTiwari) http://bit.ly/2rEYZVr "We welcome the nomination of Sadhvi as a BJP candidate".
And did you know a former #ShivSena corporator may have been involved in Dabholkar assassination. You can guess the underlying ideology. http://bit.ly/37Nb6AI
And if there;s involvement in the Dabholkar assassination then there's bound to be a link to Gauri Lankesh too: http://bit.ly/2rESWjG
And maybe we should only shiper this latest inconvenience, but the #ShivSena has always been trenchant in its demand for a Hindu Rashtra. They reiterated while celebrating the Malegaon acquittals http://bit.ly/37PorbG
Not only should it be a Hindu Rashtra, but the way to get to it is to first ensure that Mohan Bhagwat is made PM. http://bit.ly/2q08oGL The #ShivSena probably doesn't like Shah/Modi but it sure is the more hardcore version of the ideology.
