In Nagpur, a full-blown riot has erupted over Aurangzeb's tomb, which Hindutva groups are demanding be removed. The timing is hardly coincidental. The sentiments brewing over Chhaava, a film that depicts Aurangzeb's atrocities against Sambhaji Maharaj, have reignited old hostilities, framing the era as a battle of Hindu defiance against Islamic rule. Once again, historical figures—long buried in textbooks and monuments—are being summoned to the present, not as subjects of scholarly debate but as catalysts for political tensions.

This week on Hafta, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri, Manisha Pande, Raman Kirpal, and Anand Vardhan are joined by Dr Sumeet Mhaskar, professor of sociology at Jindal School of Government and Public Policy, and Ajoy Bose, veteran journalist and author of Behenji: The Rise and Fall of Mayawati.The panel first discusses the controversy triggered by Samajwadi Party legislator Abu Azmi's remarks on Aurangzeb while addressing the Mughal emperor's portrayal in the film Chhava.Sumeet provides historical context to the interpretation of Aurangzeb and Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj's legacies in Maharashtra. Explaining how they are shaped by competing narratives, he says: “Much more communalised interpretation is projected through movies, history textbooks, and plays”. The return of Aurangzeb to headlines shows that we are using the present to judge the past, rather than letting history inform our present, he notes.Commenting on Aurangzeb's legacy, Manisha adds, “When you look at the Mughals, I would say Aurangzeb was the worst of them...He's an odd hill to die on, especially for current politicians.”The panel then analyses the “political decline” of Mayawati, and her decision to suspend nephew Akash Anand from the Bahujan Samaj Party.Ajoy terms the suspension as a “significant moment”. Commenting on Mayawati's “disruptive” thinking, he says: “If Kanshiram was the strategic genius who thought of using Dalits to become a political force, Mayawati was the person who delivered”. On where things went wrong for Mayawati, he remarks, “She got quite distracted by her prime ministerial dream being thrashed and made fundamental mistakes in handling the social alliance which brought her to power.”As Abhinandan and Sumeet point to BSP's cadre being the strength of the party, Anand underlines Mayawati's “lack of political agility” as one of the reasons for BSP's decline.

Aurangzeb is arguably the most controversial figure in Indian History. The mere mention of his name provokes fierce debate. Aurangzeb succeeded in seizing the throne by betraying his father and brothers. Infamous for his cold and ruthless vengeance against those in his way, Aurangzeb imposed puritan policies of religious intolerance on his subjects. He forced conversions and banned the wine and hashish so adored by his forbears. Aurangzeb would become defined by his battles with the Marathas. Despite his powerful autocracy, how did the end of his reign leave him broken? Why did it herald the beginning of the end for the Mughals? And what might have been, had he not won the war of succession?  Listen as Anita and William explore how Aurangzeb's reign led to the disintegration of the Mughal Empire.

With their father in very bad health and rumours of his death swirling around the empire, Shah Jahan's four sons decide it is their time to take his place. Only one has been chosen by Shah Jahan… The accomplished oldest son Dara Shukoh. However the war of succession has begun, and it will be brutal and stained by betrayal.  The people of Delhi are terrified at the coming storm. Shops are boarded as they prepare for a possible bloodbath. Two of Shah Jahan's sons, Murad and Shuja, make the first move. They go through coronation ceremonies while Aurangzeb bides his time. He sends his father letters and fruit from the Deccan, acting like a loyal son.  Miraculously Shah Jahan does not die but begins to recover, only to see his sons tear each other apart and in open rebellion against him. Dara Shukoh, his anointed heir, rallies the imperial army to protect the weakened emperor. Aurangzeb, springs into action, rallying his own armies to advance not only on his brother but his father too. This will be one of the most crucial battles in the subcontinent's history… Listen as William and Anita are joined again by Supriya Gandhi to discuss the rise of Aurangzeb, one of the most controversial historical figures in India today.

The battle of succession that erupted during a severe illness of Shah Jahan is often regarded as one which determined the fate of India. The eldest of Shah Jahan's sons was Dara Shukoh—the Glory of Darius. Contemporary miniatures show that Dara bore a striking resemblance to his father, and like him he was luxurious in his tastes and refined in his sensibilities. He preferred life at court to the hardships of campaigning; he liked to deck himself in strings of precious stones and belts studded with priceless gems; he wore clothes of the finest silk and from each ear lobe he hung a single pearl of remarkable size. Dara was a tolerant Sufi and composed a study of Hinduism and Islam, ‘The Mingling of Two Oceans', which stressed the affinities of the two faiths and what he believed to be the Vedic origins of the Quran. Then there was Aurangzeb, unloved by his father, a bitter and bigoted puritan, as intolerant as he was grimly dogmatic. He was a ruthlessly talented general and a brilliantly calculating strategist, but entirely lacked the winning charm of his predecessors.  Listen as William and Anita are joined by Supriya Gandhi, author of The Emperor Who Never Was: Dara Shukoh in Mughal India, to discuss the brothers who fought for the crown, and with it the future of India.

Journalist en schrijver Naeeda Aurangzeb had als klein meisje al een hunkering naar vrijheid en autonomie. Waar ze zich vroeger uitsprak tegen haar vader, spreekt ze zich nu uit tegen onrecht in de samenleving. Autonoom leven heeft er ook voor gezorgd dat Naeeda zich  altijd een buitenbeentje heeft gevoeld. Het feit dat ze ongehuwd en kinderloos is, speelt hierin ook een rol. ‘Je moet jezelf gaan leren vasthouden. Als ik dat niet doe gaat het pijn doen.'  Met haar levensverhaal hoopt ze jongere generaties te inspireren. ‘Mijn pijn krijgt dan een goud randje', vertelt ze in De verwondering podcast.

Allying with, fighting against, and eventually dominating the Nawabs of Bengal and Arcot, the Nizam of Hyderabad, the Peshwa of the Maratha Confederacy, and the Sultans of Mysore. At the Battles of Plassey and Buxar, Company generals like Sir Robert Clive asserted British authority over massive territories, and the Carnatic Wars hobbled their European rivals.

Tipu Sultan, Aurangzeb of South, Fact-Checked on Tipu Jayanti by Vikram Sampath | Book Discussion

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Niharika Nanda.Today is the 06th of November and here are the headlines.Starting with global news, Donald Trump scripted history today, becoming the first President in 120 years to return to power after being ousted after his first term. Addressing his supporters after winning three swing states of North Carolina, Georgia and Pennsylvania, Trump laid the blueprint of his second term. With at least 51 Senate seats secured, Republicans will retake control of the chamber for the first time in four years. As soon as the results were officially declared, Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated American President Donald Trump on his election and stated, quote “As you build on the successes of your previous term, I look forward to renewing our collaboration to further strengthen the India-US Comprehensive Global and Strategic Partnership,” unquote.The Jammu and Kashmir Assembly today passed a resolution for the restoration of its special status, calling upon the “Government of India to initiate dialogue with elected representatives” of the Union Territory to work out “constitutional mechanisms for restoring these provisions”, even as the BJP protested the move. The resolution said that the Assembly “reaffirms the importance of the special status and constitutional guarantees, which safeguarded the identity, culture, and rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, and expresses concern over their unilateral removal”. It further added that “any process for restoration must safeguard both national unity and the legitimate aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir”.Pulling up Uttar Pradesh authorities for their “high-handed” approach in demolishing a house for widening a road without giving notice, the Supreme Court today directed them to pay the owner Rs 25 lakh as compensation. The three-judge bench, which was presided over by Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud, was hearing a suo motu writ petition registered in 2020 based on a letter complaint by Maharajganj resident Manoj Tibrewal Aakash, whose house was demolished in 2019.  CJI Chandrachud said, quote “This is completely high-handed. Where is the due process followed? We have the affidavit that says no notice was issued. You only went to the site and informed the people through a loudspeaker,” unquote.The BJP expelled 37 office-bearers across the state today who are set to contest as Independents in the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections, citing “indiscipline”. Highly placed sources in the BJP confirmed the development and said that despite repeatedly urging the rebels to withdraw their candidature, these 37 candidates who hold different posts in their respective district units did not pay heed to the party's request. A senior party functionary stated, quote “In the BJP, there is no scope for anti-party activities. Party leaders tried to reason with each leader but those who fail to conform to party norms have to pay the price,”, unquote.With both sides of the border grappling with a common crisis, Marriyum Aurangzeb, Senior Minister in the Government of Punjab in Pakistan, has told The Indian Express that it is “high time for India and Pakistan, and especially Punjabs on both sides of the border, to initiate a joint smog mitigation plan”. Two days ago, the air quality index in Lahore hit a high of 1900, briefly giving it the unenviable tag of the world's most polluted city. In an SOS from across the border, Aurangzeb, who also holds the environment protection and climate change portfolio in Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif-led Punjab provincial government, claimed the “Eastern corridor winds blowing from India towards Lahore” were taking the smog to dangerous levels.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

One of the most notable pirates of his day, Henry Avery would go on to make potentially the most lucrative heist ever on the high seas. Originally a navy man, Avery then took the well-trodden path of starting out as a privateer and turning to piracy. Via a mutiny he soon found himself in the Indian Ocean looking to take the biggest prizes - Mughal ships - and in August 1695 the greatest appeared before him. The ships of Aurangzeb himself were heading for the Red Sea, so Avery hoisted his sail and went after them. Listen as William and Anita discuss one of the most infamous pirates of the age and his attempts to rob the Mughals.

In this episode, we embark on an enlightening journey through ancient Indian history, exploring engineering marvels, advanced medicinal knowledge, and profound mysteries that continue to intrigue us. We begin by discussing the incredible engineering feats of ancient India. From the majestic Buddha statue in Hussain Sagar, which took years to build and transport, to the awe-inspiring Kailasa Temple, constructed from top to bottom, showcasing an unparalleled architectural genius. The Bruhadeshwara Temple, with its 1200-ton rock placed atop the garbhagriha, stands as a testament to the advanced technology of that era. This temple, remarkably, casts no shadow at noon, adding to its mystique. We delve into the story of Aurangzeb's failed attempt to destroy the Kailasa Temple and the intricate design of Ayodhya's Bramharamba Temple, where sunlight falls directly on the deity's statue. We'll also explore the Arasavalli Sun Temple, the Chaya Someshwara Temple with its stable shadow, and the legendary Kailash Nath Temple, known for its South Indian sculptures. The iron pillar (Vijaya Stambham) and its unique construction, the astronomical significance of Qutub Minar, and the sprawling Srirangam Temple complex with its seven concentric enclosures, all highlight the unparalleled engineering prowess of ancient India. Why were temples built? We explore this question, shedding light on the multifaceted roles of temples in ancient society. Temples were not just places of worship but served as cultural hubs, fostering art forms, and community gatherings. The concept of gods as village kings and the state of mind of the people back then is discussed. We also delve into the five principles to follow before entering a temple and the rationale behind these practices. Temples were instrumental in promoting cultural integrity, both nationally and internationally, and their tranquil ambiance is a testament to their spiritual significance. India's ancient metallurgical knowledge was unparalleled. The Beeluru Halebidu sculptures and the tools used for their creation remain a mystery. Indian swords were renowned for their strength and craftsmanship. We discuss Alexander's invasion and how ancient Indians made gold out of chemicals, highlighting the advanced knowledge of chemistry and metallurgy. We also touch upon Ongolu Gitta and Gorellu, crossbreeds created in ancient Indian laboratories, and the medicinal knowledge that turned poison into amrutham. Ayurvedam and Vedic mathematics are discussed, along with the mention of ships in Rugvedham and the nail cutter in Atharva Veda. Ancient India was a pioneer in medical science. The first recorded plastic surgery, where a nose was reattached, was documented in England's House of Commons. The seasonal food planning, modern lifestyle adaptations, and the resilience against diseases like chickenpox and smallpox are discussed. The story of George Washington's death and the use of ancient Indian medical practices in modern times highlight the importance of knowing our history. We explore the connections between scientific concepts and spiritual practices. The parallels between Brahma, Vishnu, Maheshwara (proton, neutron, electron), the science behind the Shivalingam, and the concept of the nuclear reactor are discussed. The Pushkaralu festival, which started as a knowledge transfer hub, the scientific explanations behind rituals, the Arundhati-Vasishta nakshatras, and the teachings of sex through temples in the absence of media are explored. The Pushpaka Vimana, Vimanika Shastra, and the story of Bapuji Talpade, who flew a plane five years before the Wright brothers, are explored. The ancient texts mentioning gravity long before Newton and the spherical shape of the Earth are discussed. We encourage youngsters to learn about their history and respect the Vedas.

Pakistan's Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb exclusively speaks to World Business Report about the latest and 24th International Monetary Fund bailout for the country - and says it should be its last.In this extended podcast version of the interview with Mr. Aurangzeb, he talks to Will Bain about the steps he thinks are necessary for Pakistan to achieve economic stability.The country's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has previously said the disbursement of $1.1 billion by the IMF will help the country achieve that, amid discussions for a new loan programme. The funding was the second and final tranche of Pakistan's $3 billion standby arrangement with the IMF which it secured last summer to help avert a sovereign default. Also, in the programme, we look at how the risk of flooding or landslides are affecting people living in Kenya.

Aurangzeb fights Afghans, English, Marathas, and Rajputs.

Subhodeep Mukhopadhyay and Manogna Sastry explicate the key themes of Audrey Truschke's work in the book 'Ten Heads of Ravana.' research. Truschke's positions on Hinduism and Hindutva, her whitewashing of the temple destructions that took place under Aurangzeb's rule, her blatant misrepresentations of incidents from the Rāmāyaṇa through mistranslations and other important aspects are studied through a careful analysis of her writings.

The Marathas and the Deccan are problems for Aurangzeb

A winner emerges from the fratricidal war.

The Taj Mahal is one of the most famous buildings to ever exist. No matter who you are or what language you speak you've probably heard of the building, but I bet you haven't heard of the woman who it was built for. Mumtaz Mahal was the most beloved wife of the Mughal emperor Shah Jehan but while Mumtaz may be famous for dying, I'm more interested in the things she did in her life that made her so beloved to everyone. Join me on this episode to learn about the Mughal's most beloved empress.

Qu'est-ce que la poésie persane dans l'Inde des XVIème et XVIIème siècles ? (suite…)

In this episode we hear how about Aurangzeb's conflict with Tana Shah, the last ruler of the Qutb Shahi dynasty in South India along with the Guru's martial training when amassing an army.

From the time of before Aurangzeb and EIC to the Dogras and now. Shias have been sidelined and systematically targeted. This procession is a step towards coexistence.

THIS EPISODE FEATURES a ready reckoner of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb's prolific temple destructions across India. Copious evidence for this is available directly from Aurangzeb's Farmans (royal orders) and Akhbarat (news reports), William Crooke's Handbooks, De Graaf's chronicles, Charles Stewart's accounts and Jadunath Sarkar's five extraordinary volumes on Aurangzeb.We give a list of more than thirty Hindu temples that Aurangzeb destroyed in a vast geography that includes Agra, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, and Karnataka. That's almost seventy percent of undivided India's landmass.Aurangzeb's reign is undoubtedly the worst of bad news as far as the Hindu civilisational memory is concerned. In fact, the attitude towards Aurangzeb shown by some powerful sections of the contemporary Muslim community in India offers some of the most telling evidences for this fact. Some representatives of the Muslim clergy today, especially on TV debates, are quite candid in their assertion that the Gyanvapi “mosque” is a settled fact—i.e., Hindus have no claim over the original Kashi Visvavantha Temple. THE LIST OF DESTROYED HINDU TEMPLES featured in this podcast is just the tip of the iceberg. The mere sight of a Hindu temple aroused extreme hatred within Aurangzeb.But it was also a gift and an inspiration for posterity. Therefore it is unsurprising that that a whole gamut of future fanatics like Shah Waliullah, Syed Ahmed Khan, Allama Iqbal and Zia-ul-Haq… all of them regarded Aurangzeb as a role model and lamented the loss of his guidance for properly putting the infidel Hindus in their place. But in this historical backdrop, it is clear that the final chapter of this story of temple destructions has still not been written.This podcast episode provides valuable lessons from this slice of Aurangzeb's long and brutal career of persecuting Hindus. These are lessons that must not be forgotten.A Heartfelt AppealIf you liked this podcast, please consider making a donation of your choice to The Dharma Dispatch Podcasts so we can keep our content free and offer more such informative and insightful content to you, our valued audience.* Click the button below to make a donation.* Donate via UPI: dharmadispatch@axl* Or Scan the QR Code given below to donate via UPI.

Befitting Reply by Hindus on Aurangzeb Tipu Sultan Shatru Bodh Sanjay Dixit

I really enjoyed the new period drama Jubilee, set in the 40s and 50s, and centered on the aspiration and ambition of a group of people from the world of Hindi cinema. I got a chance to pick the brains of writer Atul Sabharwal (Powder, Aurangzeb, Class of 83) and director/showrunner Vikramaditya Motwane (Udaan, Lootera, Trapped) on the scripting and the making of the show. We talked about everything from the research, casting and lighting of the show to the music and the exquisite closing seven minutes of the final episode. All things Jubilee, join us!If you like the podcast, do consider supporting the show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/257788/supportFeedback/comments/questions: loveofcinemasf@gmail.comCredits:Produced and hosted by: Himanshu Joglekar (@loveofcinemasf8)Editor: Devika JoglekarMusic: Nakul AbhyankarCopyrights © Love of Cinema 2023If you liked the episode and found value, please considering supporting the show.
