Aurangzeb: The Life and Legacy of India's Most Controversial King Paperback – Illustrated, 16 May 2017

Superb book and superb quality

The author has offered appropriate reasoning for Aurangzeb's actions throughout the book, the work is good enough to trust a subject not many authors have really researched. Aurangzeb has faced lot of bias during past few decades as Indian politics is now revolving around "only" name change operations.

Meticulously researched, and a balanced view, without denying how ruthless and cruel he was at times, Audrey Truschke has also brought to light, (with references, and cited sources), facts about how fair minded, law abiding, and just to a fault, Aurangazeb was, how arts and advice that was previously only available to the royalty, started to find patronage amongst all nobles, and also how he had far more Hindus amongst the Mughal nobles and advisers than any of his so-called moderate ancestors. In fact I realised how much we suffer from an over glorification of Dara Shukhoh and Shivaji, and a villification of Aurangazeb, in the way history has been taught to us.

Hats off

An objective view of Aurangzeb the man and his times

A correct narrative of the King.

Finest truth:)

Same as Aurangzeb :The man and Myth.Every word of these two boiks are same.
