Who is Bal Thackeray?
Head of regional party Shiv Sena. Does he just speak as the head of an extremist party or with the authourity of a man who controls a parliament when he threatens to bar Aussie cricketers playing in Mumbai as part of the IPL?

Has considerable but waning influence in the western state of Maharashtra. Has significantly more (waning again) influence in Mumbai and surrounding areas like Thane. As regards to threats against Aussie players - being a long time resident of Mumbai and knowing a few of his followers I can safely surmise that a) This threat is not going to persist b) A large % of his base are cricket fanatics (his party HQ is stones throw from Shivaji Park where most of Mumbai's greats have been tutored in cricket). The Aussie issue is a stupid way to garner attention - nothing is going to happen. I doubt whether he has support even from his base on this (Pakistan is an entire matter all together) c) Pawar is his political opponent but personal friend and the recent meeting between them was probably to get this old man a way out of his stupid utterences. d) Obviously you cannot rule out anything but probably I would wager that none from this old man's party will attack any Aussie player

Thanks for that Daxie. I was wondering why Pawar was giving him the time of day which is why I asked the question assuming he had some real legislative influence. With the explanation of their relationship I can see why he did so now.

Forget Aussies, the old nutcase doesn't even want Indians from other parts of the country to come to Mumbai
 Not that his views matter much, as daxie said. Aussie players need not worry, this is nothing but hot air.

If this idiot's power was waning, then why would the head of the most powerful cricket board in the world needed to pay him a visit? Why would india's top movie stars go on their knees in front of him just to get permission to get their movies screened in his state? Why would the IPL franchises who were were all going ga-ga over Pakistani players one day, failed to make even a single bid on them later on, that after Mr thackeray claimed that no pakistani would be allowed to play on Indian soil? Remember the '99 Pak tour when his goons dug up the cricket pitch to disrupt the test match?
Sure he may not have constitutional authority, but he sure does have plenty of thug power and they're all afraid of him.

:laugh: at Sanj's comment.
Agree with GB here. I think if Pawar is some kind of mate then he can use that influence to sooth the idiot. But it is strange nonetheless bcos I think Pawar is demeaning his position talking to him.

Jai Maharashtra!
 Yeah him and his sons (one of whom has split to form an even more radical organization) have lot of thug power in Mumbai. And have often been known to be kingmakers in times of hung assemblies in the state. Extreme xenophobes who even beat up north Indians making a living in Mumbai. Sachin Tendulkar, Amitabh Bachchan, SRK among those to have been targeted by Shiv Sena and allies. Their latest agenda is to stop SRK's latest film from releasing in Mumbai.

Hot air or not, but can you assure their safety?
What if an aussie player did get harmed?

I've come to the conclusion that every country has a political mad uncle as it were. Everyone is ashamed of them and never talk abt them to outsiders. And when they do find out abt them do their best to explain them away. :laugh: We've had a few too like Hanson, Latham and now Turnbull. The scary thing is the last 2 were alternative prime ministers.

that was a very sad thing condemned by every one, however he was caught by his collar then people intervened. The tragedy of relations between our countries is that the accostation turned to severe beating in pak passion.
it was condemned by all. that too was one of the reasons 99% of Indians hate thackeray
