Just a short note to say that it is baffling that the death of a leader should bring the commercial capital of one of the world's fastest growing economies to a standstill. Isn't it a bit of an anomaly that a man who was considered a man of the masses should halt the livelihood and throw into chaos the every day lives of millions of people.
Also when you read of his life the phrase that is being used most often is "the most influential man in Maharashtra politics" No one is really singing paeans to the good works that he did or how he brought about social change and upliftment.
In life and in death the tiger of Maharashtra remains a political leader of the masses. He will be remembered for his power to rally the masses but not necessarily for his ability to put that power to good use.
