It is an irony that a country, mutilated by cruel invaders for so many years, still names its roads and building after them. Roads and monuments have been named after Aurangzeb, a zealot Moghul emperor notorious for killing his brother, demolishing Hindu places of worship and forcing Hindus to either get converted to Islam or be ready to get slaughtered. Generally, public places are named after persons who have a distinguished career in serving mankind; they are the role models and an inspiration for others, especially the children. By naming roads after murderers, what message are we giving to societyIJ
There is no point in glorifying the looters who ravaged this country not only financially but also culturally. Remembering them as heroes is disrespecting those who laid down their lives to defend the nation's culture. Roads should be named after people, from India and elsewhere, who have done work for the good of society.
