Long time ago, during a visit to Mexico City, I was pleasantly surprised to see a street called Mahatma Gandhi Road in Chapultepec Park. I wondered if India too had recognized some foreign leaders in the same way. Given the history of involvement with peaceful affairs world-wide, I knew that India must have done it, but just could not recall any instance.
The question got answered last week. As we drove from the airport in Delhi to the hotel, I passed through Mustafa Kemal Attaturk Marg. Mustafa Attaturk is widely considered to be the father of modern Turkey.
