Folks -- I'm happy to answer historical questions on Twitter re the Mughals.
But general tip -- If what you're citing as "evidence" is a cartoon drawing you saw on WhatsApp... you shouldn't need a historian's professional opinion to tell you it is bullshit.

Updating with some questions that have come in with brief answers.
The jizya wasn't in effect for much of Mughal rule. When it was, Brahmin religious leaders (not all Brahmins) were exempt.
Typically, the jizya was collected by a special class of tax collectors drawn from the ulama.

The reign of Aurangzeb (R.A.) was based on 3 pillars:
1. Military expansion.
2. Islamic jurisprudence and a centralised justice system.
3. Adherence to his Indo-Timurid heritage.
This helped consolidate his empire, but it also depended on his persona for sustained success.

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.

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.

Sulla Bhatti was a Punjabi Muslim Rajput born on 23 July 1547. His father and grandfather were executed by Akbar for opposing a new land revenue scheme.
He was born 4 days after his father was executed by Mughal Emperor Akbar. When his mother Ladhi explained to him about the fate of his father and grandfather he turned a rebel against the emperor.

Mahadaji Shinde (1730 – 1794) was a Maratha general and Raja of Ujjain (later Gwalior). He was also the architect of Maratha revival in northern India after Panipat.
He was the youngest of five sons of Ranoji Shinde, founder of the Scindia dynasty. Mahadji came into prominence following the deaths of his older brothers in Maratha campaigns in northern India 1750-61.
Mahadji provided the muscle (and troops) for Peshwa Madhavrao I and his adviser Nana Fadnavis political ambitions.

Today, March 3, is the death anniversary of #Aurangzeb Alamgir, one of the greatest #Mughal emperors. Aurangzeb, the last powerful Mughal ruler is among the most misunderstood king in Indian history. He ruled for nearly 50 years, from 1658 until 1707
#Thread
#Thread
...the last great imperial power in India before British colonialism. The Mughal empire survived another 150 years after his death, however, it saw slow and steady disintegration and after 1804 they were actually emperors in name, as British and their proxies ruled much of India.
He is loved and loathed with equal intensity by different groups of people. While many Muslims believe him to be the most pious king in the history of the Muslim India, many historians have presented his as a savage who was intent upon killing and destroying Hindus.
Yesterday, February 14th was the birth anniversary of #Mughal emperor Zahiruddin Babur. Founder of Mughal dynasty, Bābur, a descendant of Genghis Khan and also of the Turkic conqueror Timur was a military adventurer, great soldier, poet, scholar as well as a statesman.
Bābur came from Barlas tribe of Mongol origin, but some considered them Turks in language and customs through long residence in Turkish regions. Hence, Bābur, though called a Mughal, drew most of his support from Turks, and the empire he founded was Turkish in character.
As there was no fixed law of succession among Turks, every prince of the Timurids—the dynasty founded by Timur—considered it his right to rule the whole of Timur’s dominions. Those territories were vast, and, hence, the princes’ claims led to unending wars.
On this day (14th February) in 1483, the first Mughal emperor Babur was born. 14th February is also marked as an official cultural day in Uzbekistan celebrating the birth anniversary of Babur. This day is known as Babur Day.
During Babur Day, multiple events are conducted that are attended by celebrities, high ranking officials and students.
Musicians sing songs inspired by music pieces commissioned by Babur, poetry written by Babur is recited, painting competitions are held and theatre performances on Babur's life is acted.
Why did the #Mughal Emperors not perform the #Hajj? The simple answer is that the duty of protecting the boundaries of the state, preserving law, order, public safety & rights (Hukukullah) was an absolute obligation (fardh al-ain), hence the Emperors were excused from the Hajj.
“Hajj is not incumbent upon the Sultans; they would rather sit on the throne & perform justice, lest an instigation should arise”.
17th century Fatwa by Ottoman Shaikh ul islam, Es’ad Effendi.
17th century Fatwa by Ottoman Shaikh ul islam, Es’ad Effendi.
To make up, the Emperors would annually sponsor Hajj voyages & appoint a representative (Amir ul Hajj) to lead the pilgrims, ensure their safety, distribute gifts & charity across the holy cities, & to perform the Hajj on the emperors behalf.
