Truth about Aurangzeb...
by Suresh Bhave on Mar 07, 2008 04:34 PM

It seems that for a change someone brought up the truth about what Aurangzeb was and that has hurt the minority sentiment. There are plenty of historical facts that go against the picture of Auranghzeb that has been built assiduously by the leftists who write the historytextbooks and probably the exhibition reveals those facts. Why should the people who are insisting that Aurangzeb must be depicted as Mughal records show him believe that other records are unknown to the comman man? In Maharashtra, every child knows the other side of Aurangzeb and that our forefathers fought against him and his several hundred thousand strong army till he died here. Were our forefathers lacking in intelligence to fight this 'great and benevolent ruler of world (Alamgir)? Obviously not. It would be interesting to know what the Mughal records say about the desecration of the Kashi Vishwanath temple.
