Sachin Tendulkar has been voted as the most dynamic Maharashtrian by a survey conducted in the city recently. If around 12% respondents rated Sachin as the most dynamic Maharashtrian, Balasaheb Thackeray and Sharad Pawar missed the coveted tag by one notch. The recent face of "divisive" regionalised politics, Raj Thackeray, who snatched the Marathi manoos plank from his uncle and Shiv Sena supremo, was ranked third with a paltry 7% votes.
Choice #1: Sachin Tendulkar
Other notable nominees for the coveted tag were Shivaji Maharaj, Vilasrao Deshmukh and Anna Hazare.
Among other startling facts that came forth during the survey -- conducted by students of the Rotaract Club of NM College -- includes that around 1/3 people, living in the city for the past 25 years, don't know that Maharashtra Day is celebrated on May 1.
Shiv Sena supremo Balasaheb Thackeray
The main motto of the survey was to find how much do people really know about the state and what do they feel about their city. 12 students of NM College interviewed around 524 people from different age groups and professions such as housewives, students, employees and businessmen in the last fortnight. The survey, which covered areas from Kalyan to CST and Virar to Churchgate, got some astounding yet candid answers.
NCP chief Sharad Pawar
The questionnaire included: When is Maharashtra Day? For how many years have you been staying in Mumbai? What is the most promising change you have seen since then? What do you think attracts people to Mumbai? Rate corruption in Maharashtra. Should Mumbai be made a separate state/union territory? What is special about Maharashtra? Who is the most dynamic Maharashtrian? Has inflation in India affected you and name the one thing that symbolises Mumbai and Maharashtra.
