Phobia means an extreme, irrational fear of something. What we are witnessing today in this country is not fear from Islam and Muslims but a visceral hatred towards them.
Hatred has consumed some people so much that they would not leave even a newborn kid! Bilkul sharm nahin?
What is somebody's problem with the name Aurangzeb (one who renders his throne resplendent)? The greatest military general-cum-emperor of the Mughal dynasty, like Frederick the Great, his relentless industry left an indelible imprint on the course of India's history.
Tipu Sultan, the inventor of the military rocket (Tagraq). Col. William Congreve developed his rockets from them--the forerunner of all great missiles. The British honoured his military genius by showcasing two of his cannons at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst!
Tipu has the singular distinction and honour of being the ONLY Indian king in 2,500 years who laid down his life fighting in the battlefield (Seringapatnam). Hemu (Panipat) and Ramaraya (Talikota) were taken prisoners alive and executed.
