The Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb (born 1618, reigned 1658-1707) is the most reviled of all Muslim rulers in India. He was supposed to be a great destroyer of temples and oppressor of Hindus, and a 'fundamentalist' too! As chairman of the Allahabad Municipality (1948-53), Dr Pande had to deal with a land dispute between two temple priests.
One of them had filed in evidence some farmans (royal orders) to prove that Aurangzeb had, besides cash, gifted the land in question for the maintenance of his temple. Might they not be fake, Dr Pande thought, in view of Aurangzeb's fanatically anti-Hindu image? He showed them to his friend, Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru, a distinguished lawyer as well a great scholar of Arabic and Persian. He was also a Brahmin. Sapru examined the documents and declared they were genuine farmans issued by Aurangzeb.
For Dr Pande this was a 'new image of Aurangzeb'; so he wrote to the chief priests of the various important temples, all over the country, requesting photocopies of any farman issued by Aurangzeb that they may have in their possession.
The response was overwhelming; he got farmans from several principal Hindu and jain temples, even from Sikh Gurudwaras in northern India. These farmans, issued between 1659 and 1685, related to grant of jagir (large parcel of agricultural lands) to support regular maintenance of these places of worship.
Dr Pande's research showed that Aurangzeb was as solicitous of the rights and welfare of his non-Muslim subjects as he was of his Muslim subjects. Hindu plaintiffs received full justice against their Muslims respondents and, if guilty, Muslims were given punishment as necessary.

What are hoping for ?
That ppeople will read yotr "cut and Paste" posts and suddenly realize that they have been much too accomadating and tolerant and follow your path of intolerance by immediatly converting to Islam.
That too through the internet.
Do you really think that people are that gullible?
You talk about equality, peace and brotherhood, but I see none of those things in you posts.
People are able to identify the truth quite well and they don't need your pathetic attempts at conversion and lies to understand the truth.
Maybe you nedd to understand the scriptures from Hinduism, Christianity, Buddhism and other great faiths to realise what level of ignorance you are spouting.

Looks like you are having difficulty understanding what others are talikng about
Once again "Maybe you nedd to understand the scriptures from Hinduism, Christianity, Buddhism and other great faiths to realise what level of ignorance you are spouting."
It may do you some good and allow your self some help.
Please don't worry too much the "BRAHMIN INVADERS" as I don't think that many others in India are.
Are they coming from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Burma, China or maybe Sri Lanka?
Keep looking outside your window, the "BRAHMIN INVADERS" are coming.

The true colours fo these guys. mike, rafi are coming out, when their spamming techniques are being defeated by reason.
Looks like they all recieved the brain wasing from the same source, ? zakir naik or similar.
They cannot even think that others may be right and so they keep cutting and pasting the same thing over and over and over again.
So , these peace loving, brotherhood people are supporting Adolf Hitler. Think about that.
The most genocidal, murderous tyrant in modern times.
Peace, love, brotherhood , huh!
I guess that they think that they can get away with in India, because till recent times, the roasting of people in Godhra would just be covered up.
So as you see above, the true intent is destroying the opposition either by conversion
"COME AND JOIN US TO FIGHT AGAINST BRAHMIN INVADERS"
or by the sword " Eradicate them and live in peace."
