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.
