This writeup by a French is just going to add fuel to fire. Some days back I read in a leading English newspaper about Aurangzeb by a renowned Historian, a Hindu(I dont remeber his name) of Hyderabad who has said that ..Here are the following brief about the poits #1. Aurangzeb give various Jaagirs(thorugh Shahi Farmaan) as said by him to build temples. he had met some priests at temples and they have showed him that Farmaan written in Persian. #2. Regarding Somnath temple ..Once a brigade of Aurangzeb was passing from Varansi. There were various Hindu Maharaza's and their wifes accompanying them. They camped at Banaras to have some rest. The wives went to Somnath temple. One of the wives of a Maharaja didnt returned. A search team was sent and they found a underground basement where the lost lady was found weeping, her clothes torn, and all ornaments lost. She was raped by Pujaari of the temple. When AUrnagzeb heared this he ordered to destry the temple as it had got A-pawitra by this act. He also ordered his army to found the pujaari and hang him.
This was the Article which was written in newspaper. I do agree that Aurangzeb was a cruel ruler but what media is presenting is just a cruel side of the life of Aurangzeb.
The other side is never shown as the history has so much manipulated by some vested intersts that the coming generation will only remember Aurangzeb has a cruel feelings toward Hindus.
And this will create more divide between Hindus and Muslims. This writeup is once again in the direction to create a wide gap between Hindu and Muslim communities and all is done by some vested interests.
