What's in a name? This guy will tell you.
Years after his execution, former Iraqi ruler Saddam Hussein haunts a 25-year-old Indian.
The young marine engineer, named Saddam Husain by his grandfather, is unable to get a job because of his namesake.
According to the Hindustan Times, the job application of the man has been rejected 40 times even after appearing for interviews in multinational companies since passing colleague in 2014. He did his engineering from Tamil Nadu's Noorul Islam University.
"People are scared to hire me," says engineer Saddam. Initially, he was unable to comprehend the reason for receiving rejections despite doing well at the interviews.
"I then inquired with the HR departments of the companies and some of them told me my name was the problem," he maintains.
He was told that having a crewmember with a name that arouses instant suspicion could be an operational nightmare, the Indian daily reported.
Saddam, however, got his name changed to Sajid but has been going through tremendous difficulties in changing names on educational certificates dating back to his school. He also moved to the court in this regard.
So, the next time someone asks 'what's in a name', direct them to Saddam-turned-Sajid Husain.
