Aurangzeb - Bad ruler or Bad History

Re: Aurangzeb - Bad ruler or Bad History

My thoughts precisely.

With regards to the question my view is that for the times in which he lived Aurangzeb was not a bad ruler but niether was he perfect.

I think History judges him on differet levels depending on belief but as a person, he was a very interesting man with a ruthless ambition but in those days most rulers were just as savage and some were a lot worse.
