Audrey Truschke
“The king then ordered his officials: ‘You must see that nobody unlawfully disturbs the Brahmins or other Hindus of that region, so that they might remain in their traditional place and pray for the continuance of the Empire.”
Audrey Truschke, Aurangzeb: The Man and the Myth

Shashi Tharoor
“The Indian vessels, a contemporary British observer wrote, ‘united elegance and utility and are models of patience [sic] and fine workmanship.’ Indian workers were considered expert in all shipbuilding materials—wood, iron and brass”
Shashi Tharoor, An Era of Darkness: The British Empire in India

Audrey Truschke
“Aurangzeb Shah is a brave and powerful king’ (mardano aur mahabali aurangasahi naranda).”
Audrey Truschke, Aurangzeb: The Man and the Myth

Shashi Tharoor
“the British economic historian Angus Maddison has demonstrated, India’s share of the world economy was 23 per cent, as large as all of Europe put together. (It had been 27 per cent in 1700, when the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb’s treasury raked in £100 million in tax revenues alone.) By the time the British departed India, it had dropped to just over 3 per cent.”
Shashi Tharoor, An Era of Darkness: The British Empire in India

Shashi Tharoor
“India, under Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, accounts for 27 per cent of the world economy.”
Shashi Tharoor, An Era of Darkness: The British Empire in India
