Temple constructed by Aurangzeb at Chitrkoot

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurangzeb
No.more than that its the communal bias of hindus that make them appreciate asoka but not auranzeb.

What truth????????????????

If you dont want to believe that auranzaib didnt construct this temple then dont believe but how can you believe that he destroyed temples on what historical proofs.
A simple google helps some times.
"Aurangzeb destroyed several non-Islamic shrines: some Hindu nationalists state the number to be as high as 60,000. Among the Hindu temples he demolished, three were the most sacred for Hindus- Kashi Vishwanath temple, Krishna Janmabhoomi temple and Somnath temple. He built large mosques at their place.[26] In 1679, he ordered destruction of several prominent temples that had become associated with his enemies: these included the temples of Khandela, Udaipur, Chittor and Jodhpur."

PS: I do not buy any comparison between Aurangzeb and Ashoka and find it dumb to do so. Aurangzeb never felt slightest shame while destroying Hindu temples, one after another through out his life. Just building one temple does not make him great tolerant emperor.On the other hand a single war turned Ashoka to a himalayan figure that will be respected by all the peace loving people of this world forever.
 
Aww....Create a new thread...we will all thank him there....:enjoy:

a thread will not suffice his greatness :-)D) we should make a bollywood movie on the lines of "Jodha Akbar". Who do u think should play the role of Aurangzeb.
 
Aurangzeb destroyed the Kashi vishwanath temple of banaras, the most sacred temple of Hindus.

The analogy will be destruction of Mecca and Medina for muslims or destruction of Vatican city for Christians. Wonder what will be reaction of muslims or christians?

Aurangzeb was biggest mass murderer of Indian history (for Pakistan, it may be other muslim invaders like timurlane and others) and he single handedly destroyed Mughal dynasty which could have given tough times to european powers to conquer India.
 
I heard reputation build up by Politicians and Actors but for a dead historian character heard first time. Lastly, I heard it happens only in Pakistan by glorifying such lunatics like Ghory and Ghazani by giving them names on missiles.
 
Any more buzzwords that you could throw in that sentence?

Here it is,
After the reintroduction of Jaziya by Aurangzeb, the chief cleric of Surat become notorious and started terrorizing people. He issued a decree pay higher Jaziya or convert forcefully, many of the inhabitants of the city went into hiding.

Also, during payment of Jaziya abusing and thrashing by clerics was a common practice.
 
The mighty Aurangzeb - RIP - he was a king of his time, who can forget his valor of stopping to pray in the middle of the battlefield. We must not judge him by today's standards, it was a cruel time, in which everyone was cruel.
 
Kya temple mosque laga rakha hai... yahan dono desho main khaaney ke liye aata aur chawal kam pad raha hai aur tum log ashok aur aurenzeb ke fight lad rahe ho.... way to go India and Pakistan development!
