RE:The truth About Aurangzeb

Well said, this spread by terror cult has no place in a democratic society. The sooner the Muslims realize that the days of double talk are over, the easier it will be for them to face up to the truth and fix their religion. With the advent of the Internet people can check their dubious claims of "self rated" peaceful "religion".
No amount of chicanery can change the past, the truth is now coming out and they find it difficult to handle, most are reacting by issuing threats, their tested and tried tactic.
Aurangzeb ascended the throne on July 21, 1658 and ruled supreme till 1707. Thus Aurangzeb ruled for 50 years, matching Akbar's reign in longevity. But unfortunately he kept his five sons away from the royal court with the result that none of them was trained in the art of government. This proved to be very damaging for the Mughals later on. Aurangzeb had three brothers. His father Shah Jehan favored Dara Shikoh to be his successor. Dara Shikoh was eclectic in his beliefs; therefore Aurangzeb challenged his father's rule. Shah Jahan fell seriously ill and all his sons proclaimed succession. Contrary to everyone's expectations, Shah Jehan recovered. On his recovery, he again backed Dara as his successor. A war of succession broke out among all the brothers. In the long run Aurangzeb was victorious. But as Shah Jehan was in absolute favor of Dara, Aurangzeb no longer trusted him, and had Shah Jehan placed under polite restraint in his own palace. Aurangzeb, a staunch Muslim, gave many grants for the restoration of Hindu temples during his reign. He also appointed Hindus to leading and commanding positions in his government. His chief architectural achievement is the Badshahi Mosque at Lahore, the largest mosque in the world at the time it was built. In his 50 year, Aurangzeb tried to fulfill his great ambition of bringing the entire Sub-continent under one rule. It was under his rule that in 1687 Bijapur and Golkonda, the last of the two Shia states surrendered to the Mughal Empire. The Marhattas continued to fight against Aurangzeb for some time. The last 26 years of Aurangzeb were devoted to his relentless Deccan campaign for the purpose of which he had moved his court to Deccan. Under Aurangzeb's rule, the borders of the Mughal Empire spread out farther than ever before. But due to lack of communication and poor infrastructure it was difficult to hold the empire together. If the court was in the north, there was rebellion in the south, and vice versa. Though he ruled longer than any of his predecessors, yet he could not stop the decline of the Mughal Empire, which hastened after his demise as none of his sons was trained to rule.

Mr. Gandhi..
I don't know what you mean. Why don't you just accept that he just screwed up the empire. You are taking of rebellions whenever Aurangzeb moved base but the Marathas faught with him till 1707 even when Shivaji had passed away. Sometimes even without a towering leader. This vindicates the fact that Aurangzeb had caused tremendous hurt to Hindus, Sikhs & all other Indians with his deep rooted bigotry.
In plain simple English, he did the Mughals in. He was the man the Hindus were praying to God for. %u201CUsne Mughlon ke Paap ka ghada itna bhar diya ki akhir wo ghada foot gaya%u201D

Didn't they teach u in madrasa about shivaji's son. how he was put to death for not converting to islam. In the north he faced less stiff resistance only because the rajputs had aligned with Akbar and as a result they were the first to be put away by Aurangzeb easily. The Marathas, Sikh Gurus gave him the run. He was running round and round - must have felt he was running in mecca.

No wonder this will produce more human bombs by kids when they grow up in future.
Aurangzeb was born on October 21, 1618. He was the third son of the emperor Shah Jehan. Though younger than his two brothers, Dara Shikoh and Shuja, he was by far their superior in competence and character. He was industrious and thorough in his far-sightedness. Even as a prince, he had distinguished himself as an able administrator. He was also a great scholar of the Persian, Arabic and Hindi languages.
Being the eldest, Dara Shikoh was favored by his parents for succession. Aurangzeb was third in line. He challenged the rule of his father and the succession of Dara Shikoh. He was eventually victorious in the battles that occurred between him and his brothers, and in July 1658, he ascended the throne as Alamgir, and reigned supreme till 1707. His reign matched that of Akbar's for longevity.
Aurangzeb was a religious man who believed in simple living. He was the only great Mughal who did not build mighty buildings. He did, however, build a mosque in Lahore, the Badshahi Mosque. Since Aurangzeb believed that Islam did not allow any one to listen to music, he banished all the court musicians, dancers and singers during his reign. During his 50 years of rule, Aurangzeb tried to fulfill his ambition of bringing the entire Sub-continent under one rule. It was under him that the Mughal Empire reached its peak in matter of area. He worked hard for years but his health broke down in the end. Throughout his life he lived and worked as a simple and honest Muslim. He earned his living by sewing caps and copying the Holy Quran in his spare time. He left behind no personal wealth when he died in 1707, at the age of 90 years.

U described Aurangzeb's life but the last 20 years U didn't write. UR Mullaha didn't study it or you are ashamed to talk about it i.e in a state of denial as every Paki muslim. Didn't UR mullah teach u about the 1971 war. He definetly must have made Pak victorious.
