We all are familiar with famous Mughals. So let’s play a quiz and see if you can figure out which emperor may have issued this royal firman. Translation is below the picture.
… therefore in accordance with holy law we have decided that the ancient temples shall not be overthrown but that new one shall not be built.
In these days of justice, information has reached our noble and most holy court that certain persons activated by rancour and spite have harassed the Hindu resident in the town of Banaras and a few other places in that neighbourhood.
And also certain Brahmins, keepers of the temples, in whose charge those ancient temples are, and that they further desire to remove these Brahmins from their ancient office (and this intention of their causes distress to that community) therefore our Royal command is that after the arrival of our lustrous order you should direct that in future no person shall in unlawful ways interfere or disturb Brahmins and other Hindus resident in those places.
So that they may remain in their occupation and continue with peace of mind to offer up prayers for the continuance of our God-given empire that is destined to last for all times.
Consider this as an urgent matter.

It could be none other than Shah Aurangzeb. The One & Only One Moghal King!!! Unparalleled in the Moghal History. He was the Most Pious, Only God-fearing, very Just, yet very courageous, an ultimate warrior.
And the answer is …..
Yes.
He had profound respect for hindus and their interests, yet he has been the most defamed person of the mughal dynasty.
I have voted Aurangzed RA, for the very same reason as the above commentator (Sayyad Adnan Ahmad) did.
“that is destined to last for all times.” what megalomania….granted he was an emperor and all that.
Just as there is vilification of Aurangazeb among some Indians, some Muslims like to paint him in glorious terms. The truth always lies somewhere in the middle.
Oh is it (@work_in_progress)
atleast you should have mentioned your name while posting a comment… it seems you fear to face the truth.
@Sayyad Adnan Ahmad:
It seems you cannot cannot say anything substantive about what I said, hence you have to take cheap shots at my anonymity (which I will continue to maintain).
