Answer:

  • Lane-Poole, “For the first time in their history, the Mughals beheld a rigid Muslim in their emperor—a Muslim as sternly repressible of himself as of his people  around him, a king who was prepared to stake his throne for sake of his faith.
  •  He must have been fully conscious of the dangerous path he was pursuing, and well aware  against every Hindu sentiment. Yet he chose this course, and adhered to this with unbending  resolve through close on fifty years of unchallenged sovereignty.”
  • Dr. S.R. Sharma, writing about the acts of religious intolerance of Aurangzeb has observed,  “These were not the acts of a righteous ruler of constructive statesman, but the outbursts of blind  fanaticism, unworthy of the great genius that Aurangzeb undoubtedly possessed in all other aspects.”

Aims of Aurangzeb’s religious policy:

  1.  It is generally accepted that Aurangzeb was a fanatic Sunni Mussalman. His chief aim was to convert Dar-ul-harb (India: the country of Kafirs or infidels) to Dar-ul-Islam (country of Islam).  
  2. He was intolerant towards other faiths, especially Hindus. He was also against Shia Muslims.

Aurangzeb’s religious policy had two aspects i.e:

(i) To promote the tenets of Islam and to ensure that the people led their lives accordingly.

(ii) To adopt anti-Hindu measures. Anti-Hindu measures:

Following were the anti-Hindu measures adopted by Aurangzeb:

  1. Demolishing temples and breaking idols
  2. Imposition of Jaziya
  3. Discriminatory toll far
  4. Removal of the Hindus from Government jobs
  5. Restrictions on Hindu educational institutions
  6. Conversion through different means
  7. Social restrictions

Why did the europeans challenge the catholic church?
Cloud [144]
<span>The Europeans challenged the catholic church because Martin Luth, in the 1500's was against the idea that salvation could be sold. He was also against the idea that the papacy, or church leaders, should be allowed to collect wealth from the people. He drafted up 95 Theses which were nailed to church buildings, as a statement of posturing to show the church his disapproval.</span>
