Understanding Ashish Shelar, Maharashtra IT and Cultural Minister_我的网站

A |     “Every role we take on simply expands the responsibility we already carry within.” The words felt inherent to the space…          Ashish Shelar is a prominent Indian politician, lawyer, and one of Mumbai’s most recognisable public leaders. A senior figure in the Bharatiya Janata Party, he has served multiple terms as an MLA from Bandra West and held key organisational roles, including President of the Mumbai BJP. Known for his sharp legal mind and grassroots connections, Shelar has played a significant role in shaping Mumbai’s civic and developmental policies, championing issues related to education, urban infrastructure, and youth empowerment.               He currently serves as the IT Minister and Cultural Minister of Maharashtra, roles in which he is driving digital growth, creative advancement, and cultural preservation across the state. Beyond politics, Shelar is deeply associated with sports and community initiatives. As former President of the Mumbai Cricket Association, he has supported major sports infrastructure and talent development. A Bandra boy at heart, Ashish Shelar remains an influential voice in Mumbai’s evolving public life. To understand Ashish Shelar is to recognise a figure shaped as much by Mumbai’s vibrant energy as by its quieter, inherited traditions. He is a man who has risen through the city’s layered terrain without severing himself from the places that first formed him. Years spent in a modest chawl did not merely define his beginnings; they created a lifelong grammar of community, discipline and instinctive empathy. His journey is not the familiar arc of a politician sculpted by circumstance, but that of a man who learned early that responsibility grows not from opportunity but from exposure to collective life. Those formative corridors shaped his sense of belonging long before public leadership entered his vocabulary.                    Even today, beneath the roles he carries, there remains the unmistakable presence of someone who has listened closely to the city’s heartbeat. He understands its festivals and its silences, its ambition and its anxieties, its need for celebration, and its longing for continuity. In Shelar’s public persona, there is a rare blend of assertiveness and accessibility, a combination that allows him to move with equal ease through the institutional corridors of government and the lived reality of people’s everyday concerns. He stands as part of a generation of leaders who have witnessed Mumbai reinvent itself repeatedly, and he carries those transformations within him with a sense of responsibility that feels both personal and civic. The door opened with the quiet certitude of a room designed for conversation rather than display. Inside sat Ashish Shelar, composed and unhurried, carrying the ease of someone who has grown from the same soil as the city he serves. Nothing about the setting felt performative. It had the atmosphere of a familiar Mumbai afternoon where stories drift into the air long before they were spoken aloud. As Rachana Shah and Rhythm Wagholikar took their seats, the room softened into a steady rhythm. Shelar seemed intent on speaking not as a political figure but as a man shaped by the everyday pulse of the city that raised him. What followed was an interaction that moved with an unforced grace. It was a conversation that did not rush to conclusions but allowed insights to surface with their own natural cadence. Memories blended with reflections, personal anecdotes mingled with convictions, and the portrait of a leader quietly deepened. By the time the discussion drew to a close, it felt less like an interview and more like a window into the making of a man who continues to carry Mumbai within him. The interview was warm, engaging, and revealing in its own gentle way, unfolding with the ease of a story that simply needed the right moment to be told.                What follows are curated excerpts from a candid and wide-ranging interview with Ashish Shelar, conducted by Rachana Shah and Rhythm Wagholikar….               You grew up in a period that shaped Mumbai’s cultural and social identity. What part of that childhood shaped you?               My childhood in a Mumbai chawl was my first schooling. Life unfolded in proximity. You heard your neighbour’s joys and anxieties; you witnessed their efforts and celebrations. You grew into every festival, every household, every shared courtyard. That instinct for coexistence shaped me long before I understood the words for it. It taught me informality, empathy, and a rhythm of belonging that no structured education can offer.               Before public life found you, who were you as a young student or dreamer?               I was a struggler. There was no early ambition for leadership or public life. I worked hard for better education, for opportunities that seemed modest at the time but mattered immensely. Circumstances kept illusions at a distance. Looking back, I now understand that destiny or perhaps the guidance of my Sadguru had placed the path long before I recognised it.               Faith remains central to your life even with the pressures of public responsibility. What sustains that connection?               I like being with people. Service has always felt natural to me, whether in development work, healthcare assistance or simple presence. Temple visits are an extension of the same instinct. They keep me aligned with the inner rhythm I rely on.               Mumbai has reinvented itself many times. What is the soul of the city today?The soul of Mumbai lies in shared celebration. A society thrives when people come together. In my childhood, Navratri nights, Devikala Utsav, Vrinda Utsav and small school gatherings were part of our emotional landscape. I used to write the display boards for competitions. These details may appear small, but they created belonging. Keeping that spirit alive feels like an essential responsibility.               Was there a turning point that shaped your entry into public life?               When our chawl was demolished, we moved to Bandra. I was in class four. That move brought me to the RSS Shakha. I entered first to play but soon absorbed the discipline, the stories of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the call of Vande Mataram and an early understanding of patriotism. Later came my years with ABVP as a full-time worker and then my journey through the BJP and Yuva Morcha. Each stage introduced its own discipline and widened my worldview.                               Among the cultural responsibilities you have held, which initiative remains closest to your heart?               The UNESCO recognition of the twelve forts of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj as a world heritage ensemble. Eleven forts in Maharashtra and one in Jinji, Tamil Nadu, were brought together under the understanding of the Maratha Military Landscape. For an entire cluster to receive recognition is rare. It has added significant value to our cultural and historical preservation, and this is one thing I hold closer to my heart.                                         If you could highlight a lesser-known cultural treasure of Maharashtra, what would come to mind?               There is no single answer,” he quietly smiled. “Our cultural depth stretches across languages, classical and semi-classical music, the energy of Lavani, the strength of theatre traditions, the devotion of the Varkari movement and the architecture of old temples and wells. Much of it has to be experienced rather than described.Politics can be emotionally demanding. How do you maintain balance?               Sadhana. My connection with my guru. The guidance of Sai Baba. Daily discipline keeps the mind centred and prevents unnecessary restlessness. If you could pass on three cultural values to the next generation, what would they be?               Humility, a mind free of ego and an alignment with nature. When you listen to your inner voice and stay close to nature, life aligns itself with you.                               Do sports, cinema and literature influence the modern Maharashtrian mindset?               Human beings evolve through sensitivity. Films, music and theatre nurture emotional intelligence and expand imagination. They prepare individuals to be receptive and grounded.                When your journey is written someday, which chapter would you hope stands out?               I do not wish for any chapter to carry my name. Like for example, bringing back the historic sword of Chhatrapati Raghuji Raje Bhosale from London was meaningful, but it belongs to Maharashtra, not to any individual. Our life should be a dedication to humans and humanity.                               From grassroots worker to cultural minister, what essence defined the transition?               Every stage widens your canvas. A ground worker thinks for the locality. A party worker thinks for the organisation. A representative thinks for the constituency. A minister thinks for the state. The thread that binds all stages is the ability to think for others.                               As the conversation drew to a natural close, the room remained exactly as it had been at the beginning, quiet and steady, untouched by the weight of the words that had passed through it. He carried the city’s shifts within him. He understood its silences, its speed, its contradictions, and its spirit. For Rachana Shah and Rhythm Wagholikar, the interaction became a portrait of a man shaped by Mumbai and now shaping it in return, with a clarity that felt both measured and unmistakably sincere.                                    Also Read: Highlights From The 10th Filmfare Awards Marathi 2025。    近日，#2人上班装晕敲诈多家公司14000余元#话题登上热搜↓究竟咋回事？事件回顾2024年12月1日，男子阳某和好友邱某成功应聘为奉贤某商场保安，两人主动向公司提出可以上长夜班，并于第二天正式上岗。可没想到，第一天上班就出了状况！12月3日凌晨，阳某突然在厕所晕倒，同一班头的邱某表示，阳某患有心脏病。于是，商场工作人员立即拨打120，将其送往医院。

C | 随着民警的深入调查，发现这俩人是“碰瓷”惯犯。

D | 就在前不久两人在另一商务楼担任保安期间，也因与公司发生工伤纠纷而报警。公安奉贤分局江海派出所民警沈龙嘉表示，前一次他们同样是应聘保安，邱某找了个楼里的厕所装病倒下。

E | 当时估计对方也是觉得麻烦，不想惹事情，就赔了7666元。后续对两人进行了全面的身体检查，结果根本不像他们所说的有心脏病。到案后两人交代，因为觉得打工赚钱太辛苦，于是就想到用假装心脏病发的办法，以工伤赔偿的名义对用人单位进行敲诈。目前，2人因涉嫌敲诈勒索罪已被警方依法刑事拘留，案件正在进一步侦办中。关于职场上的“碰瓷”惯犯申工社也发过相关案例↓1300余家单位上当！这伙人凭“完美履历”入职骗走5千多万2024年4月，上海公安新闻发布会上通报已侦破的全市首例“套路应聘”诈骗案，经警方查证，这个犯罪团伙总共骗取300余家企业，涉案金额5000余万元。犯罪人员根据用人企业招聘岗位需求，虚构伪造学历证明、工作履历和过往业绩，将自己精心包装成“完美应聘者”，入职后却消极怠工骗底薪，甚至脚踏“N条船”在多家公司就职。2入职2天，员工自称“因饭量太大被辞退”！调查后发现其涉10余宗劳动纠纷案件2021年12月20日，刘某入职深圳某餐厅，岗位为厨师，双方未签订书面劳动合同，未依法缴纳五险一金。两天后，刘某申请仲裁称因“吃员工餐饭量大被解雇”，要求某餐厅支付其两日工资及违法解除劳动合同赔偿金。然而经法院调查发现，2017年以来，刘某在深圳法院涉及10余宗劳动纠纷案件，案涉多个用人单位，多数是以消极怠工、主动找茬等方式，诱导用人单位对其作出辞退处理，然后向用人单位主张违法解除劳动合同赔偿金。最终，法院驳回了刘某的诉讼请求。
