Raj Thackeray: The tiger cub
Raj was born on June 14, 1968 to the late Shrikant Thackeray, Bal Thackeray's younger brother. Inspired by his uncle, he took to drawing cartoons and went on to study at Mumbai's J J School of Applied Arts. He too has won respect for his art, and specialises in political caricatures.
What people noticed a long time ago was Raj's uncanny resemblance to his uncle. Apart from their interest in art, they exert the same charisma and share the same political ambitions. Even the way Raj addresses a crowd - bursting into what locals call 'Thackeri' every now and then - is an echo of the senior Sena leader's past.
