This is how the story goes according to Madame Trashkey. Aurangzeb arrived at Varanasi and looked at the temple and sighed. His bodyguard looked at him and enquired - “What is the matter, Jahanpanah?”
“Exactly my dear man. You called me Jahanpanah. The whole universe is under 1/5 https://twitter.com/abhijitmajumder/status/1380126988661223429
my care. People think I am a ruthless man, hell bent on destroying temples but as the scholar woman from the future knows, I’ve actually protected more temples than I have destroyed. I want to protect this temple too!”
“Protect from whom, Alamgir?”
“From myself, of course!” 2/5
“Yes, you cracked that dialogue the other day when that author fellow was there -“
“Ah yes, brilliant wasn’t it? Aurangzeb ke taap se tumhe Aik hi aadmi bacha sakta hai, khud Aurangzeb.”
“Ah yes, brilliant! But the how will you save this temple from yourself?”
3/5
“Simple.” said Alamgir. “Let’s bring down the upper structure of this temple and build a mosque. Next time I see the structure I’ll think that this is a mosque, which it would be and not a temple, which it won’t be. And then it’ll be saved.”
“Bahot door pahunch gaye sir. “ 4/5
Madame Trashkey smiled and said to her students - “This is how Aurangzeb saved another temple. Fascists will say how I know this? But I am a scholar. Aurangzeb himself said so in the above dialogue. Hence proved.” 5/5
