Aurangzeb
by waqas on Feb 17, 2007 03:50 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

As usual full of hatred against muslim king. he was the only king in the during his rule there were 3 hindu officer out of 7 and during akbars rule there were 1 out of 6.

forts and palace were built which was not required by akbar and shahjahan. but grave of aurangazeb is very simple one

jaziya is a tax collected from rich nonmuslim and inturn given to the poor nonmuslim which was followed during the time of the prophet.

non muslims have always been accusing muslim kings of destructing their place of worship and inturn erecting a masjid but the creator knew of these allegations so the rule for construction of masjid is either it should belong to a muslim or it should be a waqf property.

since the money cannot be used by the king so aurangazeb use to make his livelyhood by stitching caps and writing quran. he showed examles of a perfect king in recent times.

Akbar played with islamic laws which calls for execution and during akbars rule muslims suffered a lot so thats the reason any history books would show as Akbar the great

the only mistake done by aurangazeb is that he did not treat nonmuslims according to islamic law and gave more rights to them so thats the reason present day hindus accuse him with several baseless allegation.

waqas,
Aurangzeb or any mughal ruler never considered himself an Indian. He always considered himself a Turk. when we turn the pages of history we can clearly see his tolerabiliy towards other religions. We have following examples of it
1) His friendly interaction with Guru Teg Bahadur.
2) His friendly interaction with Guru Govind Singh's two sons.
3) Implementation of Ziziya tax.
4) His order for demolition of temples.
5) His friendly interaction with Sambhaji Maharaj & Kavi Kalash
and many more..
But what the matter in discussing that he paid the price of it when Marathas beat him, kicked his ass. All in all he was not -
1) INDIAN
2) Great
3) topic to speak on
4) topic to hold exhibition on
Actually he was -
1) Hitler amoungst Mughals (he has tough competition)
2) Looser
3) Cruel and fundamentalist
Now, reply this with some typical illogical statements.
Sameer.
