Balasaheb – A Larger Than Life Legacy
Balasaheb Thackeray embodied a rare kind of leadership—fearless, uncompromising, and unapologetically his own. He lived by his rules, never bending for power or indulging in meek compromises. In India’s 75 years of democracy, he stood out as a kingly figure, commanding respect beyond politics. His stance was always clear: opposing Indira Gandhi when needed, supporting when he believed it right, never caring for public opinion or criticism. His friendship with Sharad Pawar outside politics reflected maturity—open, honest, yet balanced with firm political opposition. Balasaheb nurtured an inclusive Hindutva, rooted in pride and dignity, not narrowness. He lived a life of conviction, never double-faced, never swayed by convenience. Larger than life, he remains unmatched—a leader who defined his era and continues to inspire generations with his fearless authenticity.

Silence on Tapovan Trees
In Nashik, the proposed felling of 1,700 trees inside Tapovan has shaken citizens far beyond the city’s borders. Newspapers in Marathi and Gujarati alike have carried the story, reflecting the widespread concern. Yet, opposition parties remain strangely mute, clinging only to the rhetoric of vote theft and EVM doubts. Here lies a golden opportunity: by opposing the destruction of Tapovan’s green cover, they could win both hearts and votes. Instead, their silence suggests complicity or hesitation, as if waiting for BJP’s signal. The public sees through this indifference. Protecting trees is not just an environmental issue; it is a moral and political one. When opposition fails to champion such causes, it loses relevance. Tapovan’s trees stand as a test of conscience—and the opposition is failing it.

SIR and IAF 2025 – A Turning Point
The uproar in West Bengal over the SIR (Special Voter Verification) campaign reveals a deeper fear among illegal entrants. While SIR merely removes unverified names from voter lists, the real panic stems from the Immigration and Foreigners Act (IAF) 2025, enforced since September. Passed in March, this law replaces older frameworks and directly targets citizenship violations. Entering India without valid passport or visa now invites five years’ imprisonment and a fine of ₹5 lakh, while forged documents mean harsher penalties and deportation. Thus, intruders flee, knowing voter exclusion exposes them to IAF’s strict provisions. Even political assurances cannot override central law. Yet, minorities from Pakistan, Bangladesh, or Afghanistan—Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Parsis—remain protected under CAA, eligible for citizenship. Together, SIR and IAF mark a decisive shift in India’s immigration policy.

Vigilant Ticket Examiner Exposes Fraud
On November 15, 2025, Central Railway’s vigilant Ticket Examiner, Mrs. Sujata Kalgaonkar, uncovered a case of fraud at Masjid station. While checking tickets on duty with the CSMT–Kalyan special squad, she encountered a passenger presenting a quarterly second-class season ticket, number UFV-291148415, valid from August 20 to November 19, 2025. Suspicious, Sujata asked where it was issued. The passenger claimed Masjid station, but the ticket clearly showed Bhaykhala. Further questioning revealed another inconsistency: the passenger identified himself as Shameen Sheikh, while the ticket bore the name Mohammad Dilshad. Realizing the ticket was fake, Sujata immediately alerted authorities. The accused was detained and handed over to GRP/CSMT for further investigation. Her sharpness exposed a counterfeit racket, setting an inspiring example of duty and integrity for railway staff and passengers alike.

Maharashtra BJP’s Paradox
Maharashtra BJP today reflects a paradox: while opposition BJP appears sharp and disciplined, the ruling state unit seems weakened by dependency. The habit of absorbing anyone who arrives, regardless of ideology, stems from insecurity rather than strength. Self-reliance slogans ring hollow without groundwork, outreach, and sustained organizational effort. Local leaders increasingly behave like corporate executives, detached from grassroots realities. The embrace of power has become an addiction, exposing fragility rather than confidence. With Ajit Pawar’s NCP faction and Shinde’s Shiv Sena group, BJP’s majority looks numerically strong but politically risky—99 seats tied to allies is a volatile equation. Enduring constant attacks from Uddhav and Raj Thackeray, the party tolerates humiliation for arithmetic gains. Modi-Shah’s aura remains intact, yet Maharashtra BJP’s posture feels conciliatory, not assertively Hindutva-driven.
