Kshitij Thakur: A Man of Class and Character

Among the various problems, our country, India, faces is the problem of brain –drain. The phenomenon is so common and mostly discussed in the elite circles and political debates. The word ‘brain-drain’ appears to be a fashionable one, but the when we try to inspect the inner bleakness of the same; we come to know about a kind of situation which is of a greater concern. There are a number young of people, who attain education in India and provide their services to other countries. But there would be rare cases in which a young man of nearly 25, studies in abroad, attains a bachelor degree in Business Management from Baldwin Wallace University in USA (2004) and comes back to his own country to serve his own nation, his own people. Yes, gentleman. I am talking about Kshitij Thakur, one of the youngest politicians in Maharashtra, India assembly.

Brought up in a political environment under the influence of his renowned father, Mr. Hitendra Thakur, Kshitij had visioned a dream of serving the people in the childhood that he adhered till the last moment until he completed his studies and returned back to India and defeated some  of the veteran politicians in his very first elections. Kshitij has passion for politics and education that’s how he completed his MBA from Mumbai University, and a real estate management degree from Harvard University in USA. He is currently pursuing his PHD in Education from Mumbai University.

Owing to his down-to-earth nature, he easily persuades people and has become very popular among youth. Kshitij Thakur believes firmly in the slogan of ‘simple living, high thinking’ that’s why instead of spending millions of Rupees in his wedding, he participated in a  mass wedding and tied the knot with her life partner with other numerous, 1017 to be exact, couples. The entire event was organized and afforded by the Viva Charitable Trust; a trust presided by none other than Hitendra Thakur.

There is numerous videos in which this MLA from Nala Sopara, addressing youth at various events. The confident of this young lad is phenomenal and its audible speeches may captivate you for hours without food and water. He has almost reconstructed his constituency: new roads, clean environment, trees, plants, schools, medical centers etc. His exceptional achievements in this little time and age are nothing but the testament of his people oriented policies and unfathomed love for people. Kshitij Thakur has become a real model for Maharashtra and Indian youth. Youth seeks inspiration from him, elders love him, and opponents shower praise on him. Such is the character and caliber of this true young Indian.
