Patna. Mughal ruler Aurangzeb is in the news in the country's politics and the controversy has increased over Samajwadi Party leader Abu Azmi's attempt to glorify him. If we look at the pages of history, the biggest name among the controversial Mughal rulers is Aurangzeb. Aurangzeb implemented discriminatory policies like Jaziya tax on non-Muslims. Aurangzeb had the Sikh Guru Teg Bahadur beheaded. He got Guru Govind Singh's sons bricked alive in the wall, while Sambhaji Maharaj's eyes were gouged out and nails pulled out. During his rule, Fatwa-e-Alamgiri was implemented in India on the basis of Shariat and a large number of Hindu temples were destroyed. Kashi and Somnath temples were destroyed and lakhs of Hindus were killed. Due to his cruelty, the Mughal Empire was able to expand to the maximum in almost the entire Indian subcontinent. Aurangzeb died in 1707 AD. It is said that before his death, he regretted his sins and wrote letters to his sons, Azam Shah and Kam Bakhsh, expressing his regret. In these letters, he mentioned his sins and failures.

What Aurangzeb wrote in his last letter tells the story of his regret. Before dying, Aurangzeb had mentioned his sins in a letter written to his sons. In this letter, he had written that he did not do any good to the people and his life was wasted. He had also written that they will have to face the consequences of their sins.

In the book 'Aurangzeb ki Aakhri Raat' written by Ram Kumar Verma, the text of Aurangzeb's letter is mentioned as follows. "Now I have become old and weak. I do not know who I am and why I came into this world. I did not do any good to people, my life was wasted like this. I have no hope for the future, my fever has gone down now, but it seems as if there is only skin on the body. I did not bring anything into this world, but now I am leaving with a heavy burden of sins. I do not know what punishment Allah will give me, I will have to bear the consequences of all the pain I have given to people, every sin that I have committed. I am a sinner immersed in evil."

Let us tell you that Aurangzeb's father was Shah Jahan. Aurangzeb had also tortured his father a lot. Aurangzeb imprisoned his father Shah Jahan in the Agra Fort and made him yearn for water. Shah Jahan used very harsh words for Aurangzeb in his autobiography 'Shah Jahannama'. Shah Jahan wrote that God should not give birth to such a child. Shah Jahan compared Aurangzeb to Hindus, who serve their parents and perform tarpan after their death. He has written that Hindus are better than Aurangzeb, who serve their parents and perform tarpan after their death.

An excerpt from the book 'Aurangzeb ki aakhri raat' written by Ramkumar Verma

Let us tell you that Aurangzeb wanted to divide his empire among his sons. He wanted to end the succession, but his wish could not be fulfilled. There was a war for the throne among his sons as well. There was a war of succession between his three sons Muhammad Muajjal, Muhammad Azam and Kambakhsh. His elder son Shahzada Muajjal won the war and he killed his brother Muhammad Azam on 18 June 1707 AD in Jajau and Kambakhsh in Hyderabad in January 1709 AD.

During the reign of Aurangzeb, the Mughal Empire extended across almost the entire Indian subcontinent.

Let us tell you that Aurangzeb died in 1707 AD. Aurangzeb Alamgir's mausoleum was built in a small village named Khuldabad near Aurangabad in Maharashtra, where he was buried in a simple manner. His grave was made of raw soil, on which no other roof was placed except the sky. The caretakers of the grave plant green grass on his grave from time to time. This emperor of India, lying in this raw tomb, is still waiting to meet God, burning in the fire of repentance.
