The sixth Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb, was evidently—and without doubt—a great bundle of paradoxes. He was a suspicious mind in the times when any absence from one’s capital would cost one’s throne—and possibly life as well. Yet this emperor remained in the Deccan for 27 years—never to come back. Aurangzeb was aware that the overwhelming majority of his subjects were Hindu. Yet, he went out of his way to oppress them with a vengeance. He destroyed their temples, reintroduced the jaziya, which Akbar had abolished, and aggressively promoted conversion to Islam. The dissolution of the Mughal Empire showed Aurangzeb hadhis priorities all wrong. Despite this, he is called a “Great Mughal” by many a historian. This book, therefore, has been presented to explode this myth.

Prafull Goradia

Prafull Goradia, born in Bombay on 27th March 1937, is a specialist of the tea industry, having worked with the biggest tea-brokers in the world and later in his own business. He later made the conscious and resolute decision to quit a comfortable existence to enter the uncertain world of politics, his real passion and constant calling since his adolescence. Elected to Parliament in 1998, as a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), he intervened in several important matters that came up for discussion, making several significant speeches on contemporary issues, participating in debates and contributing to policy making. Prafull Goradia has penned several books: Profiles of Tea, Dear Editor, The Saffron Book, Hindu Masjids, Muslim League's Unfinished Agenda, Anti-Hindus and Saga of Indian Tea, Fly me to the Moon (Bloomsbury India), Krishna Rajya (Bloomsbury India), Saffron Awakening, Had Patel been Prime Minister, Jinnah Helped Hindus, Population Exchange. He has also written over 500 articles on issues of both national and global significance. His letters to editors of national dailies, numbering over 2,800, are useful for transporting contemporary readers over a period of modern India's political journey. He presides over The Indian School in Delhi, which has earned a reputation for offering modern education entwined with traditional Indian ethos.
