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

一 |     “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。    　　“两个月前，我们公司收到了一封字体公司的侵权提示函。

二 | 函件里说，我们对外发布的一个视频使用了他们的一款字体。”苏小兰是一家装备制造业小微企业的总经理助理，她向证券时报记者坦言，收到侵权函后非常困惑——“用的是主流的正版剪辑软件，选的也是软件预装字体，怎么就侵权了？”　　这家企业的遭遇并非孤例。记者采访发现，许多企业，尤其是中小微企业，都收到过类似的字体维权函件。有律师在检索裁判文书网及法律数据库后发现，字体权利人近年来在全国范围内发起规模化的批量维权，单笔索赔金额普遍在两万元以下，侵权情节多属无心之失，却给企业日常经营带来困扰，也占用大量司法资源。　　这不禁让人深思：字体侵权现象缘何如此频发？这是源于企业版权合规意识薄弱，还是存在客观的法律漏洞或“商业陷阱”？批量化、成体系的字体维权，是对知识产权的保护，还是已异化为一种牟利工具？　　字体“批量维权”套路化　　“我们刚开始收到侵权提示函时还挺紧张的，但后来咨询律师说这多半是钓鱼式维权，都是批量发的。”苏小兰说。

三 | 　　事实上，字体维权已脱离了传统的个案纠纷范畴，形成了一种高度“套路化”的路径。上海市锦天城律师事务所高级合伙人姜传舜告诉证券时报记者，字体权利方往往一次告上百家企业，每家主张赔偿两三万元，原告的证据链高度模板化——起诉状、证据目录、网页公证、权属证书，标准一致，程序简单。不过，字体公司很多时候未必会走到诉讼这一步，许多案件最终会走向调解，实际和解金额往往只有几千元。“字体维权没有什么技术含量，而且不挑企业，规模很小的公司也会收到提示函。”在他看来，字体维权就如同“苍蝇”，什么企业都会去“叮”一下。　　放眼整个行业，批量维权是字体行业的普遍现象。记者查询天眼查发现，山东潍坊一家字体字库公司，截至今年8月23日，司法案件高达1307件，91.74%的身份为原告；2022年至2025年依次为18件、89件、423件、465件，2026年以来也已达到312件，呈逐年递增趋势。另外两家位于北京和杭州的头部字体字库公司，司法案件总数也已分别达到2069件和2722件。　　曾任一家汽车行业新三板公司董事会秘书的顾成龙，也曾收到过字体侵权提示函。他告诉记者，这类维权方往往手握海量字体著作权资源，通过爬虫技术、公证购买等方式锁定中小企业侵权线索，批量发送措辞强硬的函件，要求以小额和解费了事，企业若拒绝，再以公证证据为基础批量起诉。“为什么爱给小企业发？因为这些企业规模不大，没遇过这种事，很容易被唬住。”顾成龙说，这类广撒网策略的核心目的并非诉讼，而是以提示函为“钩子”，最终实现推广正版、宣传促销、获取赔偿的目的。　　双重授权下的“陷阱”　　要理解字体侵权为何如此高发，首先得弄明白苏小兰的困惑：为什么购买的是正版软件，用的也是软件自带的字体，却依然会陷入侵权纠纷？　　根源在于一种名为“双重授权”的机制。江苏摩方常闻律师事务所律师曾博处理过多起字体版权案件。他告诉记者，用户购买正版操作系统或办公软件后，获得的只是软件本身的使用权。

四 | 以微软办公软件为例，软件商与字体商之间存在商业合作，会在软件中预装字库。微软在服务协议中对字体使用做了明确限制，授权仅限于“显示和打印”，未延伸到商业发布。这意味着，一旦用户在公司网页、宣传海报等商业物料中使用了相关字体，就可能面临侵权风险。　　“以大家熟悉的‘微软雅黑’为例，用户很容易误以为这是微软的字体，但实际上，它是微软委托方正公司设计的，著作权归属方正，微软只取得了预装和使用的授权，并无权代替方正向用户转授商业发布权。”曾博说，华文、蒙纳等字体商的情况也类似，只是将字库授权给软件商内置到系统中，用户若将输出成果用于商业目的，还需单独付费授权。　　如此一来，字体商实际上创设了一个“双重授权”的结构。第一重是授予软件商的预装授权，第二重是要求终端用户取得的商业发布授权。曾博认为，这个问题的根源，在于软件商和字体商都没有在软件界面对预装字体的权利状况和商用限制作出明显提示。相关限制藏在冗长的许可协议里，用户很难注意到，客观上构成了一种“陷阱”。　　“如果用户每选一种字体，界面就弹出授权提示，一方面影响操作体验，另一方面会导致字体的使用率下滑。”顾成龙道破了双方的“默契”——软件商要集成优质字体提升产品竞争力，字体商要在预装扩大用户基数后再通过维权变现，这是对双方都有利的事，夹在中间的用户却很容易在不知情的情况下面临被索赔的风险。　　值得注意的是，企业自身也确有短板。

五 | 设计师自行下载字体、宣传物料外包设计、员工“哪个字体好看用哪个”，是中小企业的常态。很多企业在收到侵权提示函后，才开始建立合规意识。“后来，我们要求员工只能用某几种免费字体，尽量避免侵权。”苏小兰说。

六 | 　　补齐两大漏洞　　“字体本身确实是有版权的，应当得到尊重和保护。”姜传舜表示。字体、字库受著作权保护已在司法层面被反复确认，只要以真实登记、真实创作的著作权为基础，维权行为就具有合法性，不能等同于“恶意碰瓷”。

七 | 　　但不可否认，字体公司“批量维权”虽然合法，但合理性则有讨论空间。曾博认为，软件厂商把第三方字体预装进产品，商用限制却埋在冗长的协议里，界面上不做提示，“天然在给用户设陷阱，不应该被鼓励”。有业内人士则指出，批量维权容易异化为盈利模式，模糊“维权”与“牟利”的界限，滑向以维权之名行营销乃至“敲诈”之实。　　在业内人士看来，要减少字体侵权现象，需要补齐两大漏洞。　　首先，从企业层面，要补上信息不对称的漏洞，推动软件商和字体商明确提示字体的使用权限、授权范围。“软件厂商在使用界面，应当给用户提供免费和付费字体的选择，明确提示哪些字体商用需要二次授权。”顾成龙说。但要打破长期以来的“利益格局”并非易事，除了呼吁厂商主动跟进，还需要行业自律或行政指导的外部“推力”。　　其次，从法律层面，要补上预装字体的权利边界漏洞。曾博建议，应推动立法或司法解释把预装字体的权利边界说清楚。

八 | “至少应该明确，在软件商和字体商都没有在软件界面做出合理授权提示的情况下，用户基于合理信赖使用预装字库输出成果的行为，不应当被认定为侵权，或者即便被认定为侵权，也只承担停止使用的责任，而无需赔偿。”曾博说。此外，针对批量维权的赔偿标准，姜传舜认为法律层面可推动形成更清晰的标准，压缩漫天要价的空间。　　而对于企业自身来说，一方面，要增强合规意识，建立字体白名单、优先使用免费商用字体、统一对外物料字体规范、在委托设计合同中加入知识产权担保条款；另一方面，收到侵权函件后应核实权属真伪、自查使用场景，先弄清自己是否真的侵权，再决定整改、谈判还是应诉，必要时寻求专业法律意见。（应受访者要求，苏小兰为化名） （文章来源：证券时报）。
