actually Kalam sir deserves this irrespective of religion but truth is can he get this if he is not a Muslim?? That is our secular India.

yeah. if it would have been replaced with a hindu name it would have been troublesome.
But i think its the best choice to replace a name like Auranzeb with much renowned name.

While Aurangzeb was the sixth and the last significant Mughal emperor to rule India, he was highly unsuccessful and was infamous for having jailed his father Shah Jahan and killing his brother in his quest for power.
Given the history, as soon as the news of renaming the road flashed on television, Twitter was abuzz with netizens hailing the AAP government for the decision.
Reports also suggested that BJP MP Maheish Girri had also written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to consider renaming Aurangzeb Road after Kalam to correct "wrongs" of history and had said it will be a fitting tribute to the memory of Kalam, widely regarded as the people's President.
