Professor Ram Nath Nath

Glimpses of AURANGZEB -ALAMGIR?S Misrule in India (1658-1707 A.D.) Professor Ram Nath Nath

This is a brief and interpretative history of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb 'Alamgir's misrule in India, from 1658 to 1707 A. D., based entirely on his own histories. An ego-maniac, he was the greatest villain of the History of India. He destroyed, most ruthlessly, the political, administrative and, above all, cultural institutions, which were so assiduously founded by hisgreat-grandfather Akbar, the Great (1556-1605 A. D.), and he lorded, monstrously, over the decay, decline and death of the Grand Mughal Empire which Akbar had gradually built-up, inch by inch!Chapters:1. Massacre of Kinship for Kingship 2.
