RE:THE GREAT EMPEROR - SHAHENSHAH AURANGZEB
by manivasan nil on Mar 21, 2007 04:53 PM

There are two reasons why no such detailed accounts were available in hindu writings.First,any writing is possible only if there is peace and stability in the country.Obviously, with the muslim domination on India(except the Vijayanagara period in south),you cannot expect the Hindus to sit and write their sufferings in details.

Secondly,most of the writings were by the high caste people who were patronised by the kings and it was a mutually beneficial(parasitic)relationship.Moreover,for vast sections of common men, it was immaterial whether the ruler is a Hindu or Muslim. His conditions remained same.
