A Muslim Engineer named Younus from Crescent Engineering College made a headline in a Tamil newspaper for helping to rescue the flood victims. He swam and rescued a non Muslim woman from a dangerously stranded place and moved her to a safe spot. The woman was suffering from labour pain at the time and by the grace of Allah delivered the baby safe.

As a mark of gratitude to Younus for saving their lives, the parents Mohan and Chitra have named their newborn son ‘Younus’.

Why do you think Kamal "Hassan" has got "Hassan" as his last name ? His Brahmin father gave the name to all his children after he was saved in jail by an muslim inmate called "hassan".

The irony being that he was attacked in Jail by the lower caste criminals for being a "Brahmin", and he was sent to Jail because he was a "Communist" and against caste.

Chandrahasan and Kamalahasan are now Chandra Hassan and Kamal Hassan? Some people are totally bent. The guy changed his name relatively recently, after he started acting in Hindi films. What a numskull story.

In Sanskrit Kamal means "lotus", but it was rumoured that his name originated with a friend of his father (Yaakob Hassan, a Muslim freedom fighter who was imprisoned along with Kamal's father by the British). In a BBC interview with Karan Thapar Haasan said that his last name derives from the Sanskrit word hasya, and although the Yaakob Hassan connection was publicised by the media it was only "a story".

It is kamal Hassan kamal= lotus Hassan = seat which mean while is brahmas name.

It is kamal Hassan kamal= lotus Hassan = seat which mean while is brahmas name.

Asa means seat in sanskrit.

Aasan means seating posture.

But you are partially correct, Kamalhassan is a corruption of Kamalaasan which is a posture in Yoga. It means Lotus posture or the one who sits in a Lotus posture. so it can also mean Vishnu.

Both his brothers are also named from Yoga postures. Charu Hassan and Chandra Hassan. Both are corruption of Yoga postures name.

Charu comes from caraasan or Caru - Aasan which means "elegant posture"

Chandra Hassan comes from Chandraasan which means "moon posture".


However the kids now goes by the name Shruti Hassan, Anu Hassan etc. Maybe that is why the story of Yakub Hassan stuck. I guess the person who could confirm this is dead.

So somehow religious tension is worse than caste tensions ?
