Uddhav Thackeray Defends Gen Z Protesters, Invokes Shivaji's Youth Legacy

Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray spoke out in defence of Gen Z student protesters who he said were being called 'cockroaches'. He drew a historical parallel by recalling that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj captured Torna Fort at the age of 17, effectively in his own Gen Z years. Thackeray also noted that the Mughals had disparagingly referred to Shivaji as a 'rat', likening that historical disdain to the current criticism of young protesters. His remarks were aimed at countering narratives that belittle youth-led activism.
