3 Thackerays

Akar Patel writes on Three Thackerays:

Eighty-four in a few months, (Bal) Thackeray has been keeping indifferent health. He hasn’t spoken in public for two years....

This is a loss for those who know Marathi and can enjoy him. He’s a truly great performer: understated in slapstick, always deadpan and with a rapper’s sense of rhyme. His response to why so much was being renamed after Shivaji: ‘Shivaji nahi tar kai Quattrocchi?’
