Focused on Aurangzeb’s conflicts with those who resisted Mughal rule. Emphasized the political, as opposed to religious, character of those who rebelled by showing Hindus and Muslims on both sides of the conflict.

Aurangzeb killed his brothers, Dara Shukoh and Shah Shuja, in pursuit of the throne just as they would have done to him. However, his unjust imprisonment of his father, Shah Jahan, illustrates his preference of political ambition over morality.

Pages 9-16 do a good job of emphasizing the need to understand Aurangzeb in his own context, particular issues with just factually “setting the record straight”, and even introduces the complexity behind a term as seemingly innocuous as Hindu.
