Aurangzeb committed a lot of atrocities in our country. He killed our many Sikh Gurus. He set fire to the Nalanda University library, which kept burning for 3 months. Our scriptures were burnt; people were abused and tortured and were forced to change their religion. He jailed his father and killed his brother. Yet, we have a road (Aurangzeb Road in Delhi) and city (Aurangabad) name after him!

What do you know about the Indian National Anthem?
It says “Jan Gan Man Adhinaayak Jai Hai” Who is Adhinaayak – Lord? Who are we singing this for? This song was written to welcome George V to India during British rule. Till today we continue to sing the song written in praise of him! This kind of foolishness even after 65 years of Independence is unheard of in any other country. “Jai Hai, Jai Hai” who are we saying this to? This is for George V of England as if he still continues to be the person to ordain India’s destiny, even today.
Why did India get independence at midnight?
Have you ever heard of any assembly meeting in the middle of the night? Many people do not know the reason behind this midnight assembly. Lord Mountbatten consulted astrologers enquiring as to when would be the most inauspicious time to proceed with something. The astrologers informed him that the most inauspicious time would commence at 11:00 pm on the 14th August 1947 and would end at 02:00 am on the 15th August. Anything done during this period would be extremely detrimental to anyone or anything. And this is exactly what happened.
