shiv sena
Shiv Sena, a prominent political party in India, primarily based in the state of Maharashtra, has undergone significant transformations and faced internal strife. Founded in 1966 by Bal Thackeray, it initially emerged as a movement advocating for the rights of Marathi-speaking Maharashtrians in Mumbai's competitive job market. Over the years, Shiv Sena evolved into a major political entity, known for its strong regional and Hindu nationalist rhetoric.
Recent developments have seen the party at a crossroads, marked by a dramatic split that has deeply impacted its unity and political standing. In 2022, a faction led by Eknath Shinde rebelled against the party leadership under Uddhav Thackeray, son of the founder, leading to a major political upheaval in Maharashtra. Shinde's faction, claiming the support of a majority of Shiv Sena's MLAs, eventually formed the government in Maharashtra in alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), challenging the previously established Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition government led by Uddhav Thackeray.
This split has not only led to legal battles over the party's name and symbol but also raised questions about its future direction and identity. The division reflects broader challenges within regional parties in India, grappling with leadership issues, ideological shifts, and the dynamics of coalition politics.
