Abstract

The Maharashtra Minister of Social Justice advocates for changing the name of Khultabad, where Aurangzeb's tomb is located, to Ratnapur, citing historical reasons. This proposal has sparked controversy, with protests and demands for the removal of Aurangzeb's tomb by some groups. However, the Chief Minister clarified that the tomb is protected by the Archeological Survey of India and cannot be removed, although Aurangzeb will not be glorified. The debate over the tomb's presence reflects differing perspectives on history and identity in Maharashtra. [Extracted from the article]
