(Saamana Editorial) Today is the 100th birth anniversary of Balasaheb Thackeray. Against this backdrop, the Saamana editorial is titled Centennial of the Roar. Saamana states, 'According to the Indian Constitution, a separate state was created for each linguistic group. Linguistic reorganization happened accordingly. Then why did only the Marathi people have to fight with Delhi for four and a half years for their own state? We fought and won Maharashtra including Mumbai.'
'The Marathi people shed blood, made sacrifices. Therefore, Maharashtra, including Mumbai, should remain intact. "If anyone tries to divide Maharashtra, Shiv Sena will not rest until they crush them," was the lion's roar of Shiv Sena chief Balasaheb Thackeray.'
'Balasaheb was the lion's roar of Maharashtra. This lion's roar still echoes today. Because of this lion's roar, Maharashtra is safe. This same lion's roar has kept the Marathi imprint on Mumbai. Even after a hundred years, the lion's roar continues to resonate on the ground and in the sky.' It is said.
