Beyond this, I have no intention of teaching history to anyone. This is the question I try to answer that constitutes the sum and substance of my play ‘Aurangzeb’. But what brought this cosmic change in his personality that conventional history had been projecting him as an intolerant and ruthless king with a staunch dislike for Fine Arts? It seems he loved music, was gifted with an excellent musical voice, and he wrote elegant romantic poems, when he was young. I realized that he had strong psychological reasons for being what he became in his later years. Aurangzeb was as interesting a character as Dara was. Once when I became absorbed in the Mogul history, many things came to me as revelations. Of course, I knew about his brother Aurangzeb because he succeeded Shah Jahan, But the Aurangzeb I knew from my school text-books was a religious fanatic, who wanted to bury music twenty fathoms deep and also who hated poetry.

I had not heard of Dara Shiikoh before, because the history we were taught in the schools was only about those, who became kings. I began reading R.C.Mazumdar, Jadunath Sarkar and all those scholars, who had written about the Moguls. The Frenchman, according to Schopenhauer ,had rendered it in Latin from the Persian translation of Dara Shikoh, the eldest son of Shah Jahan, the great Mogul Emperor ,who built Taj Mahal.

I was reading a book on him, when I came across this line that he himself had acknowledged that he owed his philosophical wisdom to the great book from India, ‘The Upanisads’,, which he read in Latin translation by a Frenchman called Abraham Hyacinth Anquetil-Duperron. What made me write the play ‘Aurangzeb’ or rather, who led me to writing it? Don’t be surprised, it is Schopenhauer, the great German philosopher!
