SILLY POINT
religion mk kaw
A small news item tweeted that Aurangzeb Road in Lutyens’
Delhi which houses some of the richest men in India has been renamed by the New
Delhi Municipal Council as “A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Road”. This is not the first
time that Aurangzeb has been targeted by Hindutva enthusiasts or Sikh leaders.
Typical of the reaction was a comment by a friend close to the RSS, “Imagine
naming a prominent avenue after Aurangzeb, the butcher of Islam. It is like
naming Wall Street after Hitler. If they had to honour one of the sons of Shah
Jahan, why not choose Dara Shikoh who translated the Upanishads into Persian?”
