Re: Most Controversial Person in History
I have almost same list of persons in mind when we talk about being controversial. We can’t restrict the concept of someone’s being controversial that he/she was bad, but it means how different people oppose or support the life of those persons.
For me, Aurangzeb and Akbar are more controversial than other personalities of the subcontinent as these are equally liked / disliked by different people.
Zia ul Haq also meets this criteria. He was loved and called Mard e Momin by a faction of society and at the same time he is probably one of most hated persons of Pakistan.
