Aurangzeb road-a national shame
by arun bahuguna on Dec 22, 2007 02:19 AM

Tarun Vijay Sahab,
Please note that having a road after Aurangzeb in Delhi is the worst kind of psychological torture, humiliation and attack on the self respect of we all Indians in general and Hindus in particular. What is secular or magnanimous in eulogising or keeping alive memories of a tyrant and religious fanatic,who can be called the original terrorist of India by naming a main road of the capital of our country after him? Aurangzeb not only killed thosands of Hindus and Sikhs,he terrorised those Muslims also who were humane like his own brother Dara Shikoh (and ultimately killed him).We do not know who got this sick idea of naming the road after him,but it is certainly a monument to self humiliation, non-self respect and utter ignorance of history for all Hindus.It is not making any Indian proud. The sooner this historical blunder is corrected the better for all of us. We are surprised that it did not occur to even BJP that this correction should have been done in one hour.Is no shame left in our leaders?What to talk of Pakistan, even in our own Hindustan, how many roads and monuments have been named after Dara Shikoh?
So Tarun ji, it is not a sign of our greatness that there is a Aurangzeb Road in Delhi, it is rather a sign of our lack of self respect, inferiority complex and 'bujdili'.Please take this issue up even now with the Congrss Govt. and the BJP. Regards.
