Re: Aurangzeb - Bad ruler or Bad History
Even if a temple or mosque becomes a seat of conspiracy, it is insane to demolish entire building rather than finding the culprit, Mosque was erected in the place of old Vishwanath temple while no temple was erected at the site of any demolished mosque, the other destruction took place was as Shri Krishn janamsthan where mosque stand till present day was done by his orders. Imposing Jiziya on Hindu majority country itself is not tolerant, why majority should pay any special tax however less just because ruler is from minority? Aurangzeb’s bigotry is part of entire Indian cultural folklore in Indian Punjab and around Kashi-Varanasi area!
But looking at his actions of giving Hindus higher official places and donations to many temples, can we say that his bigotry was not religious, but of political nature?
