  • Description
    Aurangzeb Alamgir (r. 1658-1707), the sixth Mughal emperor, is widely reviled in India today. Hindu hater, murderer and religious zealot are just a handful of the modern caricatures of this maligned ruler. While many continue to accept the storyline peddled by colonial-era thinkers-that Aurangzeb, a Muslim, was a Hindu-loathing bigot-there is an untold side to him as a man who strove to be a just, worthy Indian king. In this bold and captivating biography, Audrey Truschke enters the public debate with a fresh look at the controversial Mughal emperor.

    Fabulous!

    This book is must read for those who have been brainwashed by distorted facts and events of history by some biased historians as well as propagandist.
    This book doesn't glorify Aurangzeb or try to paint his image as a great King but it just improve your misinformation and come forward with true facts.
    I am sure after reading this book you will not see Aurangzeb as before you used to do.

    Must buy!

    An illuminating work in depth and brief. You would be in a flow while reading this masterpiece.
    The writer does justice to the most unjustified man of today's era Aurangzeb!
    It is to be understood that the medival India was to be affected by proverbs like "ya takht ya tagoot" !
    Aurangzeb was a ruler of his times and he ruled the way he could have. Not all of his choices were his own but the circumstances!
    But he was a millitary and administrative genius.
    Read the second chapter of this book !

    Delightful

    it's a very authentic book. An eye opener for all Aurangzeb haters. I recommend all history enthusiasts to read this book very well. Great work by Audrey. We rarely find books which describe Aurangzeb as a person and unbiasedly. This book is one of those rare literature pieces.

    Good read if you can hold your judgment for some time! This book doesn't glorifies him but gives idea of what else was going around that time and how were his opponents.
