Eco-savvy your comparison of Aurangzeb with Ahmedi Nijad was not sarcastic? Well I don’t know what is happening inside Iran under Ahmedi Nijad.
But I have studied a lot about Aurangzeb. You said about him "Aurangzeb was the greatest king among the Mughals and he was just ruler, he forbade the practice of emperor being weighed in gold and silver, did not take salary he was just ruler, he forbade the practice of emperor being weighed in gold and silver, did not take salary from treasury but earned his own living”
Where did you get your facts about Aurangzeb? Politically correct school text books?
He was one of the cruel and monstrous rulers of Mughal Empire and executed all his brothers, blinded and imprisoned his own father Shah Zahan (who built the famous Taj Mahal), razed many temples and implemented a policy of forced conversions.
