Aurangzeb

I agree with Francios. Its an open secret that Aurangzeb was a cruel dictator. It was during his rule when most of the hindus were forcefully converted to Islam under the point of the sword. Instead of arguing about this, the indians must keep the following in mind if they want to live peacefully:

1. Muslims (and GOI) must accept the historical facts rather than 'hiding' it. They must be more sensitive towards their hindu bretheren and realize that they were all brothers prior to Islam came to india.

2. Hindus must understand the muslim bretheren and realize that they are a product of a cruel ruler, as their ancestors had no choice other than to convert, and it is not them 'per say' who razed temples, but it was the invaders who did.

3. GOI needs to give up the 'vote bank'olitics and work towards uniting the indians rather than dividing them by religion etc.



Unless this happens, I can say for sure that India is heading towards a 'disaster', where all,irrespective of their religions, will suffer.
