The past, present and future of Maharashtra's original controversial political partyu00a0-- the Shiv Senau00a0-- stood in symbolic strength at the recently concluded Sena Dussera rally held at Shivaji Park, Dadar. Although an annual affair, this year's rally was an anticipated one since it marked the 'return' of Sena supremo Bal Thackeray, now 83, to stage.

The sidelight, one that had managed to stir curiosity even among those disinterested in politics, was his 20 year-old grandson Aditya's Thackeray's induction as the head of the party's new youth wing, the Yuva Sena.
Giving plenty of time to photographers to click their favourite angle as the trio posed for a shot, the Thackerays were more than a picture of generations. They were a comment on dressing.

While senior Thackeray turned up in his predictable full sleeved, white, just-out-of-laundry crisp kurta (his saffron stole over one shoulder, rudraksha malas in place), son Uddhav picked a Chinese collar khadi weave in ivory.u00a0
