Abstract

Former Shiv Sena MP Rahul Shewale has requested the Centre to denotify Aurangzeb's tomb from the list of Monuments of National Importance, citing historical accounts of religious intolerance and persecution during Aurangzeb's rule. Shewale highlighted the brutal execution of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj in 1689 as a notable instance of Aurangzeb's tyranny. He emphasized that removing the tomb from the list would align with the sentiments of the people and allow for appropriate action to be taken regarding the site, which is currently protected under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act of 1958.
