But, I still think its disrespectful to India it... the country from which they have made all their money from., because how its still manifests in our society today - the situation between Hindu- Muslims gets tense even today because of our historical past, there is no denying it. The horrors of Partition.. Why Indians and Pakistanis are still enemies where we have a shared history and culture.
While Ashoka may have massacred in the name of war (all emperors do kill, right? Unless they were Prince Sidhaarta)- how is it effecting us today? He was still an Indian and not a foreign invader. He spread Buddhism throughout South Asia, and left edicts that are precious to us..
He is stil Asoka the Great. Historians don't term "great" without any reason. Asoka Chakra is our emblem for a reason, it represents Dharma.
The examples quoted have different connotations that are relevant today.
i am sure the country as a whole better things to worry about then what two bw actors name their kid and i dont think saifeena care about what others think either so
unhe pasand aya toh rakh diya khatam karo aage bhado
had a road or any public place been named after aurangazeb/babur/taimur i would understood the outrage but no third person has a say what parents name their kid
even akbar is called great so? there are many skeletons in his closet too just like there are in ashoka
