Facts about Aurengzeb
by Humayun Rashid on Mar 08, 2007 03:51 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

THIS MIGHT OPEN YOUR EYES.
1. Only emperor in the history of India, who was working on salary.
2. He put his father in jail for the reason he said - this is public money, you cannot waste 20 lakh rupees for your dead wife.
3. He used to make topis (caps) to wear and janamaz (rug for prayer) and that was his only income.
4. Once his wife asked him, can we hire one cook , he said No, we cannot afford him.
5. A true visionary, britishers first tried to enter India during his reign - he said NO.
6. and Might is Right - ofcourse he was powerful, he did the same what other great emperors did in their time.., conquer everybody like Ashoka, Akbar...

Because Osama Bin Laden lives in a cave somewhere in Pakistan in (I would assume) austere conditions, does that make all the crimes he committed, justified ?

All great and stirring stuff but why did he kill Hindus and/or forcibly convert them to Islam. Secondly why did he find it necessary to destroy their temples ?

you think Aurangzeb did that?..if he did then you wouldn't have been here posting this message...or all the hindus in india. if you think Aurangzeb was on a mission to clean swipe hindus then how does 80% of population in india is hindu?? and if you say that all the hindua appeared again after his regime ended..then don't accuse muslims for population rise in india...it should be hindus who should be blamed for it. cmmon this topic is all BS...Aurangzeb was the emporer who in fact officially provided lands for temples to be built. check your facts

I have checked my facts many times now. Include the population of Porkistan and Beggardesh, secondly if he wasn't successful in wiping out the entire Hindu population doesn't mean he didn't give it a serious try.

Sanathana Dharma/Hinduism was not wiped out because of help from Gurus and Yogis - the Saptarishi, Raghavendra Swami, Sant Tukaram etc. The farmaans Aurangzeb issued to destroy temples can be seen by one and all in the museums Gautier mentioned
