I am extremely sceptical in taking Muslim history from Western authors due to the misrepresentation of history by Western orientalists. However, this book is a fair reflection/analysis of the life of Aurangzeb. It is well researched and shows that Aurangzeb was not a zealot as most right-wing Hindu extremists and many Westerners who distort history have portrayed him. He was a fair king, under his rule there was no religious suppression and Hindus were more than well represented in administration, more than in Akbar’s time. Aurangzeb only destroyed 12 temples – due to extremists plotting against the government and storing weapons in these places. He restored and replenished temples and gave full religious rights to the citizens of India. He was a pious man and who did not take from the state and earned his own living by knitting and selling caps and writing calligraphy.
The author at the start of the books fails to encapsulate the humility of Aurangzeb, when the author quotes “He saw his life as failure.” Every pious Muslim will see their life as failure as a pious Muslim seeks the Mercy of God – Mercy of God is sought through humbleness; all human beings make mistakes and he is asking God to forgive him.
