http://www.hindustantimes.com/Mumbai-monopoly/H1-Article1-50 8814.aspx "The ordinary Marathi manoos may not have benefited very much from the activities of the Shiv Sena and the MNS. The leaders of these parties have been more fortunate. Many years ago, Mary Katzenstein drew attention to the ‘obvious upward mobility of key Sena leaders. In 1970, for instance, Manohar Joshi, who by his own insistent account was raised in poverty, planned a European vacation — his first outside India.’ Thirty five years later, a company controlled by Manohar Joshi’s son put up a bid for five acres of mill land in the heart of Mumbai, valued at Rs 421 crore. As reported in The Telegraph of July 22, 2005, Mr Joshi’s company was one of two successful bidders; the other was a company controlled by a certain Raj Thackeray." The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths, and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us.- Paul Valery
