About this listen
Aurangzeb Alamgir (r. 1658-1707), the sixth Mughal emperor, is widely reviled in India today. Hindu hater, murderer, and religious zealot are just a handful of the modern caricatures of this maligned ruler. While many continue to accept the storyline peddled by colonial-era thinkers - that Aurangzeb, a Muslim, was a Hindu-loathing bigot - there is an untold side to him as a man who strove to be a just, worthy Indian king. In this bold and captivating biography, Audrey Truschke enters the public debate with a fresh look at the controversial Mughal emperor.

good book, poor narration
the narration is bad - mixed up complied and compiled at one egregious point, diction is good but the modulation is terrible. The book works more as an insightful argument but is light on anecdotes and facts. Expected something meatier

kudos
it takes courage to speak against popular modern days tyrant. Aurangzeb was as good or bad as Ashoka but one is considered a villian and another a saviour. that's the selective history and memory. loved your book.

concise yet comprehensive
Audrey's History of Aurangzeb is balanced, practical, logical and devoid of emotional biases. She bases her history on the resources that she has mentioned. She also touches upon the topics that are raised every now and then in media about Aurangzeb.

if you know him already, skip
nothing new would be known if you are already aware of the major incidents of maratha history. the author has made a futile attempt to change the way people look at the tyrannical ruler, but has failed miserably. the books fails to show us the OTHER side of the emperor as one might think.
