The Exposition was set up by historian of India, so why has some muslims tried to stop this exposition?
Knowing wh0 Aurangzeb was is really important to all of us, if we stopped historian from explaining the past to us- this will create more mistrust among communities.
let us be informed and let Hindus and Muslims then come to terms with what happened under Aurangzeb.
Was Aurangzeb the Indian version of Hitler? How many Indian died under his rules? What did he create? What did he destroy? Why did Hinduism came back militant specially in the North when the North was ruled for a 1000 years by muslim. How were the Indian muslim converted from hinduism? How did North Indian remain Hindu majority after 1000 years of onslaught? There are so many questions and so few answers -Let the historian do there job and let them informed us on our past.
Then we can actually put the past behind, if we know what realy happened during the islamic invasion of India.
Hiding the truth whatever that is- is bad for India, it will come back to bite us, when we least expect it.

Islam is the most secular religion. Islam declared brotherhood amongst its followers. Quarn clearly states that there is no compulsion in religion. The message of Quran is totally in line with the scientific facts discovered in these last 50 years. Please read the translation of the Quran -- it is a mercy for all mankind. If you read it with an open mind, u will definitely come to realise that it is a Divine message. But please do not judge any religion by its followers. What happened in post Godhra riots? are these the teachings of Vedas or Ramayana or Mahabarat. No. but those who did it where very far from the teachings of their faith. And if anyone claims that Islam spread by sword, which muslim army conquered Indonesia (most populous muslim nation). none. it is the teachings of the Quran that have touched the lives of millions and are contniuing to inspire the people today in USA and the West who are entering the fold of Islam without any compulsion. It truly is a forward thinking inspired by forward thinking.

We are not debating islam here- my point is we need to know if a Hindu genocide happen during the muslim invasion of india. If there was agenocide, then it should be teached as our history to both Hindus and muslims. We need to teach the muslims that they are converts, and they are Indian. If islam is so secular, what happened to the hindus in pakistan and Bangaldesh? Can I go an build a temple nera mecca in saudi arabia.

Which historians you are talking about?Greatest of Historians and most authentic source for our secular friends in India is Romila Thapar(A converted Christian) who went to USA to convince the local authorities for not changing some mistakes in school textbooks which were hurting Hindu sentiments!The same mistake was done for other ethenic groups like chinese or Latins living in tht state and everyone got obejctionable parts about their history corrected.Except Hindu parents for whom congress sent esp. Romila Thapar to counter!
