THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THE MOGHUL EMPEROR WAS GREAT GREAT RULER. HE UNITED ALL TINY STATE AND GIVEN DIGNIFIED NAME "HINDUSTAN". HE RULED MORE THAN 50 YEARS.
A stone inscription in the historic Balaji or Vishnu Temple, located north of Chitrakut Balaghat, still shows that it was commissioned by the Emperor himself. The proof of Aurangzeb's land grant for famous Hindu religious sites in Kasi, Varanasi can easily be verified from the deed records extant at those sites. The same textbook reads: "During the fifty year reign of Aurangzeb, not a single Hindu was forced to embrace Islam. He did not interfere with any Hindu religious activities." (p. 138) Alexander Hamilton, a British historian, toured India towards the end of Aurangzeb's fifty year reign and observed that every one was free to serve and worship God in his own way.

He was a terrible ruler and it's depressing to see that the hatred towards Hindus is ingrained in the Muslim mind that in todays modern India there exist people that are willing to shut their eyes to the truth. All this to defend a tyrant that probably tortured their ancestors.
