there is no point in talking about what happened long time ago. those who find faults at aurangzeb should also know that he was the first one to ban sati strictly and it is not raja ram mohan roy as it is perceived. We hindus have flaws of ourselves. when we have oppressed our own, no need to find faults on others.

You miss the point, Aurangzeb was only doing his duty in the same way that the Taliban destroyed the statues of Buddha in Bamiyan. What Aurangzeb did was not the work of a pious muslim gone mad he did it because he was a pious Muslim and did what was expected of him. He is/was not an isolated incident or an aberration as you and countless other apologists make him out to be. The day he is denounced by Muslims in India will be the turning point, unfortunately for the Muslims that will have the courage to do that, they will have to first denounce their religion. Sad but true.
