Central Delhi's Dalhousie Road renamed as Dara Shikoh Road
The New Delhi Municipal Council on Monday renamed Central Delhi's 'Dalhousie Road' after Mughal emperor Aurangzeb's elder brother Dara Shikoh. "Dara Shikoh...promoted the peace and concord between the followers of Hinduism and Islam," BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi said in her proposal. The road had been named after Lord Dalhousie, who served as British India's Governor General from 1848-56.
