CARTOONS! The other side of firebrand Raj Thackeray
Apart from their now-hot, now-cold uncle-nephew relationship, Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray and Maharastra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray have something in common – both are exceptional cartoonists.
While the senior Thackeray's cartooning skills were inspired by the likes of Walt Disney and Sir David Lowe, Raj started cartooning for Marmik, a cartoon weekly started by his uncle. But as things would have it, it did not turn out to be his chosen career.
