You were talking about finding a name in lines of Ravan, Kansh etc, so i gave you an example to prove that people dont go by name the go by deeds and probably thats why Duryodhan became MLA.
I am not sure if you know Anwara Taimur, she was chief minister of Assam.
Did people forget the history of india and Taimur when they elected her as as Chief Minister of State.
FYI:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anwara_Taimur.
People do go by deeds, which is why people are commenting on the deed done by Saif ali khan. The deed of naming a baby after a Sociopathic genocidal mass murderer and then announcing that name in public.
Maybe the kid will grow up to be a saint or the next buddha, but the abuse for now is for the father attempting to glorify and idolize a man who had no respect for people, Hindus in particular.
A man who after capturing delhi took 15 days to kill all the Hindus and take their women and children as slave while leaving the muslims unharmed.
As for the history of Anwara Taimur, it will continue to be a sad blot on Assamese dignity and our collective dignity. In any case I was unaware of this incident, as would be most of India.
Do you think Taimur was playing with Indians in his backyard courtyard. Like Ashoka he also invaded a region, killed the people who resist and burnt the villages enroute. Wars cannot be govenrned by your set of rules. The one you take as good and other as bad. He killed over 1.5L Kalinga warriors and then his warriors looted, ramped and did all sort of horendeous things that happens after such a guresome war. Do you know how big % of human population was that in that era. Its more like washing out entire Pakistan or far east countries for that matter if you compare to current era.
Unfortunately when you look back at history being bias doesnt help.
Timur the Lame was a GAZI. DO you Know what a "Gazi" is ?
A man who kills hindus because they are "kafirs" and take their wives and children as slaves. (after raping them). The survivers are given a choice to convert or die. (Of course the Hindu citizens of Delhi never got that choice)
Timur WANTED to be a GAZI, no one forced him to be one, or even asked him.
Timur attacked India with the express intention of destroying our civilization and values. Did you know this ?
They stories you quote of Ashoka are from "Ashokaavadaana" a recognized book of Buddhist propaganda that claims how evil Ashoka was (as a Hindu) before he became a buddhist and then became good.
However stories of TImur's evil action is recorded by his own court scribes describing his glee in the Genocide of Hindus.
Take your own advice and stop reading history with bias and quoting from little known Buddhist books of low repute that was designed for propaganda.
