During Aurangzeb's long reign of fifty years, many Hindus, notably Jaswant Singh, Raja Rajrup, Kabir Singh, Arghanath Singh, Prem Dev Singh, Dilip Roy, and Rasik Lal Crory, held very high administrative positions. Two of the highest ranked generals in Aurangzeb's administration, Jaswant Singh and Jaya Singh, were Hindus. Other notable Hindu generals who commanded a garrison of two to five thousand soldiers were Raja Vim Singh of Udaypur, Indra Singh, Achalaji and Arjuji. One wonders if Aurangzeb was hostile to Hindus, why would he position all these Hindus to high positions of authority, especially in the military, who could have mutinied against him and removed him from his throne? Most Hindus like Akbar over Aurangzeb for his multi-ethnic court where Hindus were favored. Historian Shri Sharma states that while Emperor Akbar had fourteen Hindu Mansabdars (high officials) in his court, Aurangzeb actually had 148 Hindu high officials in his court.1 But this fact is somewhat less known. Some of the Hindu historians have accused Aurangzeb of demolishing Hindu temples. How factual is this accusation against a man, who has been known to be a saintly man, a strict adherent of Islam? The Qur'an prohibits any Muslim to impose his will on a non-Muslim by stating that "There is no compulsion in religion."2 Surah al-Kafirun clearly states: "To you is your religion and to me is mine." It would be totally unbecoming of a learned scholar of Islam of his caliber, as Aurangzeb was known to be, to do things that are contrary to the dictates of the Qur'an. Interestingly, the 1946 edition of the history textbook Etihash Parichaya (Introduction to History) used in Bengal for the 5th and 6th graders states: "If Aurangzeb had the intention of demolishing temples to make way for mosques, there would not have been a single temple standing erect in India. On the contrary, Aurangzeb donated huge estates for use as temple sites and support thereof in Benares, Kashmir and elsewhere. The official documentations for these land grants are still extant." The proof of Aurangzeb's land grant for famous Hindu religious sites in Kasi, Varanasi can easily be verified from the deed records extant at those sites A stone inscription in the historic Balaji or Vishnu Temple, located north of Chitrakut Balaghat, still shows that it was commissioned by the Emperor himself. The proof of Aurangzeb's land grant for famous Hindu religious sites in Kasi, Varanasi can easily be verified from the deed records extant at those sites. The same textbook reads: "During the fifty year reign of Aurangzeb, not a single Hindu was forced to embrace Islam. He did not interfere with any Hindu religious activities."3 Alexander Hamilton, a British historian, toured India towards the end of Aurangzeb's fifty year reign and observed that every one was free to serve and worship God in his own way.

First of all, he has to ask this question with the Saudi Government not to me. This is childish question and mischieviously always put by RSS GANGS AND GOONS. Some of the reasons I will tell you. They were the Idol worshippers before the Islam. There were temples and Idols in Saudi Arabia. When the Islam came to Arabia and when they learnt about Islam. Islam teaches them One God, Supreme, Powerful, Al-Mighty, Creator and Sustainer. He has no shape, no form, there is nothing like to unto Him. When they learnt and got the Truth. They felt it is use less to pray these idols because:
1.Foolish to worship these man-made objects.
2. Worshiping these gods they cannot think, move, and speak.
3. They cannot save themselves and cannot protect others.
4. They cannot mend if broken.
5. They cannot clean as birds do SHIT on them as we see Hanuman, Shivaji and other idols/statues on the squares.
6. Children play with them like toys, its happened some times in the Home, Children play with these gods as toys.
7. Lastly they think the good men/women cannot be their God. The God is above all these worldly, creatures and maters. Unseen, Absolute, eternal, Powerful, Utmost and final qualities no body can match.
After realizing the simple truth, they destroyed; throw all these Gods out of their land. So they do not want this filth/illeteracy/blind-faith again. These are the simple reasons.
IT WAS SURE SOME STUPIDS (SHISHU PATSHSHALAS & BAJRANGIS) ARE POSITING MESSAGES IN THIS DEBATES. BUT IT IS MY GREAT ASTONISHMENT WHEN I SAW MESSAGE OF JATIN HALDNAKAR. HE IS COMPLETELY LOST INTELLIGENCE CASE. FIRST OF ALL HE SHOULD ASK THIS QUESTIONS TO SAUDI AUTHORITY. SECOND HE SHOUL KNOW THAT WHOLE SAUDI ARABIA IS SACRED PLACE AND 100% MUSLIM POPULATION. SO THERE IS NO QUESTION FOR TEMPLE OR CHURCH OR GRUDUWARA.
IF SAUDI GOVERNMENT OR PUBLIC DEMAND TO BUILT MOSQUE IN VATICAN, IN TRTUPATI PREMISES, IN GOLDEN TEMPLE PREMISES, THEN INDIAN SECULAR GOVERNMENT WILL ALLOW ?? INDIAN PUBLIC WILL ACCEPT THIS DEMAND ?? VATICAN AUTHORITY ACCEPT THIS DEMAND ?? CHRISTIANS WILL ALLOW TO BUILT A MOSQUE IN VATICAN ?? NO NO NO. SO JATIN DONT SHOW YOUR FOOLISHNESS. SAMJHA MERA BACHCHA.
Now just one question..out of context why dont you allow non muslims to have place of wordship in Saudi Arabia ... they way non Muslims has extended you the courtesy to have mosque in thier holy cities and at times ,also allowed to build them by destroying thier holy place..
