		The shiv Sena was formed on the 19 of June 1966.
		From the outset, it became a vehicle for voicing the sourness of the native maharashtrans.
		The role of shiv Sainiks in destroying Muslims establishments during the riots following the destruction of a supposed mosque in Ayodhya (1992) is still a subject for investigation.

	The Shiv Sena's games
		On October 12, 1992, cadre of Sena shakha (branch) 106, armed with machetes, stones and soda water bottles, were engaged in war with the residents of the slums outside the main gate of Air-India Colony.
		Sena cadre protested, to quote the Special Branch diary, that "temples of Hindus in Hindustan had become endangered, but an illegal Masjid built in Phule Nagar was allowed to expand and no action was being taken against it".
		Interestingly, the Sena directed much of its efforts to economic issues, seeking to occupy political space that the secular opposition in Maharashtra was focussing on.

	Shiv Sena at a crossroads
		THE Shiv Sena, which aspires to a major presence at the Centre, may be in serious danger of losing its way in Maharashtra after recording its worst-ever performance in the Assembly elections: it won only 62 seats - seven fewer than in 1999 - of the 163 it contested.

		Nevertheless, the Sena's debacle in the elections has given rise to the feeling that Bal Thackeray may have erred in appointing his son the next leader of the party.

		Shiv Sena’s growth in the working class neighbourhoods has not received the attention it deserves from social scientists, though there are a number of studies on the rise of the Shiv Sena in Bombay.
		The Shiv Sena used shakhas to mobilise the masses on the emotive appeal of identity and used violence as a means of attracting followers and intimidating its opponents.
		The Shiv Sena’s harangue was made easier by the fact that India’s defence minister at the time of the war was a known communist sympathiser and an elected representative of the parliament from a constituency in Bombay.

	Very political crimes in Bombay, by Jeremy Seabrook
		The appearance of this phenomenon in Bombay, where the rule of the extreme communalist Shiv Sena and the Bharatiya Janata Party is now uncontested, marks a new departure in the criminalisation of politics and the politicising of crime.
		In this, the Shiv Sena is itself the biggest criminal organisation in the city.
		Gawle rose swiftly in the Sena hierarchy and became so popular that Thackeray came to see him as a rival, and he was held responsible for the murder of at least one legislator and some Shiv Sena leaders.

	BBC News \| South Asia \| Shiv Sena chief lambasts writers
		When the Writers' Association took objection and criticised the Shiv Sena leadership for trying to stifle freedom of expression, Thackeray hit back, saying the Association had no moral right to be critical after accepting a state government grant of about $60,000 for their annual conference.
		Although the Shiv Sena chief is known to court controversy - the most recent example being his opposition and then a last-minute climb-down on the issue of Indo-Pakistan cricket series - his attack on writers is certain to upset even his supporters.
		Shiv Sena owes much of its political success to the rise of regional and language chauvinism and a direct confrontation with those writing in the local language will hardly help their cause.

	Khaleej Times Online - Is it the beginning of the end for Shiv Sena?
		The Shiv Sena was created in 1966 by Mumbai’s industrialists as a counterweight to the Communists’ increasingly successful trade unionism in ‘sunrise’ industries like engineering, electricals, chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
		The Shiv Sena’s historic role was fourfold: destroy working-class radicalism; infuse extreme intolerance into society and reverse Maharashtra’s rich tradition of liberal social reform which began with Jyotiba Phule; institutionalise coercion and lawlessness; and, communally push mainstream politics to the Right.
		The Sena succeeded in imposing the first half of this agenda with the Congress’s help and the second half through the BJP, especially after the 1993 Mumbai pogrom, which it organised.

	INDOlink - India General News - Shiv Sena Will Return To ‘Hindutva Roots’ In Assembly Poll
		Aurangabad, July 15 (NNN): In the wake of solid drubbing it got in the recently-held General elections, the Shiv Sena has decided to “return to its Hindutva roots” in the forthcoming Assembly poll in Maharashtra, due in September-October this year.
		The Sena realises that these compromises were partly forced upon it because it was in power at the Centre in alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which was trying to project a more moderate image.
		Though Shiv Sena leader Bal Thackeray was a little subdued at the press conference on the last day of the Aurangabad conclave, he did indicate that hardline Hindutva would be at the centre of the party's campaign strategy.
