Read the following from the abover article. The Guy who is doing research work doesnt know What is Farmans. He is saying Farhans, Farhans. He is bogus, concocted, I doubt his work. May be the BJP Government in Rajisthan provided this FARHANS FOR HIS KNOWLEDGE. with rewards
Read Carefully
Thus, we thought we should get at the root of the matter. History (like journalism) is about documentation and first-hand experience. We decided to show Aurangzeb according to his own documents. There are an incredible number of farhans, original edicts of Aurangzeb hand-written in Persian, in India's museums, particularly in Rajasthan, such as the Bikaner archives. It was not always easy to scan them, we encountered resistance, sometimes downright hostility and we had to go once to the chief minister to get permission. Indeed, the director of Bikaner archives told us that in 50 years we were the first ones asking for the farhans dealing with Aurangzeb's destructive deeds. Then we asked painters from Rajasthan to reproduce in the ancient Mughal style some of the edicts: the destruction of Somnath temple; the trampling of Hindus protesting jaziya tax by Aurangzeb's elephants; or the order from Aurangzeb prohibiting Hindus to ride horses and palanquins; or the beheading of Teg Bahadur and Dara Shikoh.
The person doesnt know what Farman What is his research work. What is Farhan from where he got this, I think RSS providied. When people fabricate they make mistakes.

Very funny Mr. Rafi. Where does BJP or RSS come into picture? Why do you cry like this for a single word FARMAN? So do you mean to say that because he mispelt, FARMAN as FARHAN, whatever Aurangazeb did was correct? Arey, he is trying to give the true picture of Aurangazeb as a ruler and he is also trying to tell that you musalmans were once hindus who were forcibly converted to Islam. Am not saying that you have to go back to Hinduism. But if somebody is saying the truth, just sit back, relax and try to learn the truth. Am sure now somebody would surely report my answer as bogus. But I dont care. Its the curse in this country.
