Be Ruler Noncommunal Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Street Aurangzib was renamed
After A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.
Aurangzib had been wicked
And known for cruelty and bigotry.
Abdul Kalam had been pious
And known for virtue and humility.
Communal harmony was not hit.

Street Akbar later was renamed
After Maharana Pratap.
Akbar had been secular
And known for impartial rule.
Maharana Pratap was a patriot
And known for mass leadership.
Communal harmony was hit.
