20 March,2025 06:30 PM ISTRecently, Maharashtra has been buzzing with controversy surrounding the tomb of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, located in Khuldabad, in the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district. This issue gained momentum after the release of the Bollywood film Chhaava, which depicts the life of Maratha king Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and his struggle against Aurangzeb in the 17th century. The film has sparked widespread discussions. The Aurangzeb controversy blew up more after Samajwadi Party MP Abu Azmi praised the Mughal emperor. In response, right-wing groups and politicians called for the demolition of Aurangzeb’s tomb. This has led to heated protests across the state, particularly from Hindu nationalist groups such as the Bajrang Dal and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP). Violent incidents were reported, including unrest in Nagpur, following rumors of a desecration of a holy book. Protests took place in several districts including Pune, Kolhapur, Nashik, Malegaon, Nagpur, and Ahilyanagar. In Kolhapur, the VHP even destroyed a mock tomb, while in Pune, the Bajrang Dal organized a demonstration, chanting slogans like “Jai Shri Ram” and using hammers to express their anger. Amid growing calls for the destruction of Aurangzeb’s tomb, many have questioned whether the Maharashtra government can take action. Can the tomb be demolished? Well, the answer is clear: The Maharashtra government cannot demolish Aurangzeb`s tomb. The tomb is a protected monument, listed under the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) as a "Monument of National Importance."... [Read More]
20 March,2025 05:56 PM ISTShiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut, on March 20, dismissed the allegations made by Disha Salian’s father, who has called for a fresh investigation into her death and the interrogation of UBT leader Aaditya Thackeray. Raut strongly criticized those attempting to politicize the case, accusing them of trying to damage the reputation of Aaditya Thackeray and Shiv Sena (UBT). Raut stated that after reviewing the police investigation, he believes Disha Salian`s death was an accident, not a murder. He also pointed out that Salian`s father had filed a petition five years after the incident. "The politics behind this petition is clear. These people couldn`t succeed with the Aurangzeb issue, and now they are trying to use the Disha Salian case to divert attention. This is dirty politics, and it is damaging the state`s reputation," Raut said. He emphasized that these attempts were aimed at tarnishing the name of a young leader who has been working for the state.... [Read More]
