Truth about Aurangazeb
by riaz ahmed on Feb 16, 2007 05:31 PM

Mr.Francois Gautier,
I am sorry to say that you call yourself historian and know the facts about Indian history but I your article does not reflect the same.

There are both good and bad things about any individual. If you go into the details of Aurangzeb's tenure his court was having maximum number of Hindu nobles in good positions. His tenure is the brightest in Mughal era interms of strenght and prosperity.
1.He is the only emperor who earned livings by stitching caps and selling and also writing Quran.
2.He was the one who is opposed to the lavish spending. He is opposed to his father spending public money for construction of Taj Mahal.
3.He is opposed to people who talk two theories conveniently enjoying the good/bad things as per their likes.
4.Even Britishers admired him for administrative abilities and constructed tomb on his open grave yard.
5.He totally believed in Islam and tried to bring the people are living wayward life into straight path.
6.If you are talking about forceful conversions there is not a single instance Aurangazeb has forcefully converted people to Islam he only liked the people who are true sunnis.

You don't see any muslim begging the people on the roads to come and join Islam. People who convert are convinced about the truth and once they embrace they never look back.
Coming to your comment on Islam adopting to new world I don't know which world you are talking about. People who are living in so called advanced nations are fed up with the falling moral values and looking for guidance and embracing Islam. Unlike other books Quran which is Allah's guidance to humanity is not for manupulations as per the whims and wishes of people who want to enjoy only the worldly things by any means don't care about hereafter.
In India Hindu's and Muslims live like brothers there might be few difference which will very soon vanish. Mr. Gautier before writing on any thing please do proper home work people are not fools to go by whatever you are saying with little/no knowledge.

Riaz Ahmed.
