Aurangzeb - Sufi or Tyrant | Neeraj Atri | #SangamTalks

Though some fake historians try to project Aurangzeb as some kind of benevolent ruler but in reality, he was a religious bigot and tyrant of the highest order. We can refer to Jadunath Sarkar's translation of 'Akhbarat' to know truth about the atrocities committed by Aurangzeb on Hindus. The moment he sat on the throne; he started his extremist agenda by issuing orders to demolish Hindu temples. A clear reference is available which proves beyond any doubt that he ordered the demolition of Kashi Vishwanath temple as well as Keshav Rai temple in Mathura. His religious bigotry was boundless, the cruellest examples of it can be seen in the way he murdered Shambhu ji, son of Shivaji and ordered his men to fill his head with hay and display it in public. In the similar fashion, he tortured Sikh Guru Teg Bahadur ji and got him executed. To convert Hindus, he imposed Jajiya on them. During his reign thousands of Hindu/Jain temples were desecrated. The broken 'murtis' were laid on the steps of mosques to insult Hindus. Some people with vested interests are trying to project a softer image of him but he was an extremely intolerant ruler who left no opportunity to harass Hindus and convert them to Islam.
