It is unfortunate that a prominent road in New Delhi is named after
Aurangzeb, the most ruthless and cruel among the many ruthless and cruel Muslim
rulers. Greatest oppressor, mass-murderer and who introduced jyzia tax. What a
paradox – There is no road named after the great Chatrapati who fought all his
life nailing Aurangzeb and ultimately Marathas were successful in uniting this
great country when they unfurled saffron flag in Atak
What are we as a nation doing about it? Majority citizens of this
country have already made peace with history or are numb to the insults
inflicted upon our nation.
Time has come to review and correct this aberration of having road
named after Aurangzeb. Bharat Ratna Dr Abul Kalaam people’s President, great
visionary, eminent scientist, Karmayogi and role model to Gen Next breathed his
last giving a lecture at IIM, Shillong on 27th July 2015.
There would be many memorials built after the great man, but
immediately let us rename Aurangzeb road by naming it after the great man,
thereby erasing the memory of the tyrant Aurangzeb. This could be apt Shradhanjali
to our nuclear man.
