Re: Re: Re: Akbar or Aurangzeb

Finally, the cruel assassination of Sambhaji (son of Shivaji). Sambhaji was first asked for getting converted to Islam - and he would be spared his life. Upon not submitting to this, his eyes were taken off, then tounge and finally faced a terrible death. But after reading your article, I see something is missing here. Aurangzeb, himself being so secular cannot do this. Had he been present at the scene, I am sure he would have stood in the way of Mughal soldiers, saying first kill me and then touch Sambhaji. Isnt it???

I think in coming days I will be able to read similar arguments - saying Britishes never did Jaliyanwala - for they had so many % of Indian people serving in their empire. (From %age, got an interesting thought - I never knew Shah-jahan and Aurangzeb too were management gurus - to watch their annual performances on the basis of %age of statastics!!!)
