Amid the ongoing row over the tomb of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb who died about 300 years ago, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale on Sunday (March 23, 2025) asked if iconising someone who was against the ethos of India was right. He asked why those who advocate Ganga-Jamuni culture (fusion of Hindu and Islamic cultural elements) never thought of idolising Dara Shikoh, the elder brother of Aurangzeb who is said to be a pioneer of such an idea.
