the oppressive religious policy of auranvzebs led to some sencous revolts in the country
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
aurangzeb’s legacy, in the popular imagination, is one of unmitigated tyranny — reviled as the destroyer of Hindu temples, executioner of Sikh guru Teg Bahadur, and an austere Muslim ruler, who imposed unpopular taxes and curbed expressions of liberal Islam.
A Pew research report based on Manucci’s account of his reign has found him to be responsible for the genocide of 4.6 million Indians. Adolf Hitler is looked down upon with contempt and rightly so; why should Aurangzeb be excused?
In 2015, amid a raging controversy, the ruling government acceded to an extraordinary request from the New Delhi Municipal Corporation to have the name of Aurangzeb Road in the national capital changed to APJ Abdul Kalam Road. The idea was to remove the association of evil, represented by Aurangzeb, from the name of the street and replace it with the name of the former president of India, who, presumably, embodied goodness.
While the article finds no substantiation for Dr Kalam’s ‘goodness’, despite his life and work being well documented and not so far back in the past, it uses unsubstantiated rhetoric to claim that Aurangzeb was not a tyrant and a bigot that his actions, recorded in documents from the past, clearly reveal him to be.
