Historic city #Aurangabad has been renamed as #Sambhajinagar by the govt. This is an outrageous step that has been done without checking the history of the region. #Aurangabad was founded by Malik Ambar, one of the greatest Adil Shahi general of Ahmadnagar Sultanate.
#Thread
He founded the city when the capital of the dynasty was threatened and taken over by the #Mughal forces after years and years of military assault by the Delhi Emperors on a regional power, finally almost destroying it. But Malik Ambar resurrected an almost dying sultanate.
In 1610, a new city named Khaḍkī was established at the location of modern Aurangabad to serve as the capital of the Ahmadnagar Sultanate by the Ethiopian military leader Malik Ambar, who was brought to India as a slave but rose to become a popular Prime Minister of Sultanate.

Why renaming #Aurangabad to #Sambhajinagar was very important culturally.

A mini thread.
1 The district has important history far older than Aurangzeb. Naming the district and city Aurangabad took away from the glorious past and gave the impression it's all about the 17th century jihadi. Paithan, one of the oldest inhabited cities on earth, was capital of
2000 yr old Satvahana dynasty that ruled large parts of India.

2 Spiritual leaders : Some of the most important saints linked with Hindu revival are linked with the district. Changdev, Dyaneshwar, Sopandev, Muktabai, Eknath etc have nothing to do with Aurangzeb.

#Aurangabad has been renamed as Sambhaji Nagar. It was never associated with Sambhaji and had its origin in Nizamshahi Sultanate. It was a nondescript village before it was developed by Malik Ambar in 1610. After fall of Nizam Shāhī dynasty in 1633, city came under Mughal rule. Image
It was later renamed Aurangabad after it became the headquarters of #Aurangzeb during his viceroyalty over Deccan. The mausoleum complex of Bibi Ka Maqbara, an imitation of the Taj Mahal in Agra, was built in honour of his first wife, Dilras Banu Begum (died 1657).
Aurangabad remained the headquarters of the independent nizams (rulers), but it declined when the capital was moved to Hyderabad in Hyderabad princely state. With the dissolution of the princely state in 1948, Aurangabad was included in Hyderabad state in newly independent India.

Perhaps the best example of #AmalgamationArchitecture and the cultural inclusiveness of #Hyderabad under the Nizam is #OsmaniaUniversity Arts College founded in 1918. It's the 1st Indian university to have Urdu (a modern language) as medium of instruction (as opposed to Persian).
Under the last Nizam, Osman Ali Pasha, #Hyderabad was thriving as a center of learning, innovation and technological advancement, free from the dark shadow of colonialism that gripped most of the Subcontinent. Hyderabad was quite insulated from India...
...and developed its own culture, architectural styles, cuisine, and most importantly, language. People from India were referred to as Hindustani and so was their language. The language of Hyderabad was Dakhani (of Deccan), which is very distinct from Hindi or Urdu...
