ڈاکٹر مبارک علی کی کتاب "اورنگ زیب عالمگیر" کا ایک تجزیاتی مطالعہ

An Analytical Study of Dr. Mubarak Ali's Book "Aurangzeb Alamgir"

Abstract

Aurangzeb Alamgir was a famous person on whom much has been written in history. Historically, his personality is important because his reign was a glorious period in the history of India. He is such a personality on whom both the religious class and the religion-averse (secular) class write. Like Allama Shibli Naumani and Dr. Om Prakash Parshad. Historically, some accusations are also made against Aurangzeb. Like the killing of father and brothers, opposition to Hindus, demolition of temples, jizya etc. and similarly some events are also described with different angles. These objections and incidents are described by people of both classes (religious and deen-averse) but both of them describe them in their own way. From the same incident or object, one group concludes that it is religiosity and another concludes that it is aversion to religion. Dr. Mubarak Ali who is a Pakistani secular historian has also written a book named "Aurangzeb Alamgir". In which he has collected the articles of Allama Shibli Naumani and Dr. Ohm Prakash Parishad. But in the case of the book, such sentences have been used which reinforce the secular narrative. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the allegations against Aurangzeb Alamgir in the light of original sources while doing an analytical study of Dr. Mubarak Ali's book.
