Should Aurangzeb’s grave be removed?
On the question of Aurangzeb’s grave from Maharashtra, Ramdas Athawale said, “Aurangzeb’s grave has been here for many years. He came here in the 1600-1700s. It is true that it is not right to praise Aurangzeb. Abu Azmi said that Aurangzeb said that Aurangzeb was a good man, I have not had the grave, there is no such year. So there is no need to remove it. We have buried them, it is necessary to know the next generation there.
