How did Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb's actions shape his legacy? Was he a ruthless tyrant, a religious zealot, or a political opportunist? These questions have been the subject of debate for centuries, and continue to be so today. In fact, Aurangzeb's legacy has become increasingly politicized in contemporary India, with his reputation being challenged by the country's Hindu rightwing.Despite his controversial reputation for persecution of Hindus, historians suggest that Aurangzeb's political ambitions were not specifically targeted at any religious group. In this video, we delve into Aurangzeb's life, reign, and legacy, exploring the contradictions and controversies that surround him.
