Lying Eyeshadow bandit claims Aurangzeb destroyed only few temples & only 80 temples were destroyed by Muslims from 1192-1729 AD. Yet Aurangzeb's OWN OFFICIAL biography Maāsir-I-Ālamgiri lists him proudly destroying 300+ Mandirs in Mewar alone in 1680!

Aurangzeb's own official biography & records clearly show exactly how benevolent & tolerant he was. He destroyed 1000s of temples & was a murderous Islamic fanatic perpetrating Z!hād. Only a paid liar or an idiot would try to deny history & whitewash his irrefutable crimes.

This begs the question why would a PhD in history deliberately distort history when a cursory glance at primary sources exposes such incredulous lies. It's because sinister political agendas are well-funded & timed by anti-national Hinduphobic toolkits in election years.
