Muzaffarpur, February 5, 2026 — A shocking video has surfaced exposing the depths of historical distortion used by radical elements to whitewash medieval crimes. Mohammad Tajuddin, an Islamist propagandist from Keshopur, Muzaffarpur, has been caught on camera spreading a vile fabrication. In the viral clip, he justifies the destruction of the Kashi Vishwanath and Mathura temples by the Mughal tyrant Aurangzeb, claiming it was done because “Brahmins were raping women” inside the sanctums.
This claim is a malicious lie. It has zero basis in history. It is a calculated propaganda tactic designed to demonize the Hindu community and present a documented religious fanatic as a social reformer.
The Lie: “Aurangzeb Saved Women from Brahmins”
Tajuddin’s narrative, which mimics arguments often found in leftist pamphlets, alleges that:
-
The Rani of Kutch was molested by Brahmin priests in the basement of the Kashi Vishwanath temple.

Aurangzeb destroyed the temple solely to punish these “rapists” and save women.
-
The temple had become a “den of prostitution.”

The Fact: This story is a 20th-century invention. There is no mention of any queen, rape, or basement in any contemporary Persian chronicle, Mughal court record, or European travelogue from the 17th century.
The Truth: Aurangzeb’s Own Records Expose Tajuddin
We do not need to rely on modern opinions to know why Aurangzeb destroyed temples. His own court historian, Saqi Mustaid Khan, recorded the exact reasons in the Maasir-i-Alamgiri.
1. The 1669 Decree: “Destroy the Infidels”
On April 9, 1669, Aurangzeb issued a general order. The text reads:
“The Emperor… ordered the governors of all the provinces to demolish the schools and temples of the infidels and with the utmost urgency put down the teaching and the public practice of the religion of these misbelievers.”
The motivation was explicitly religious intolerance, not crime fighting.
2. Kashi Vishwanath (August 1669)
The chronicle records: “It was reported that, according to the Emperor’s command, his officers had demolished the temple of Viswanath at Kashi.” There is no mention of a queen or a crime. The temple was destroyed simply because it was a center of “infidel” (Hindu) learning.
3. Mathura (January 1670)
When Aurangzeb destroyed the Keshav Dev temple in Mathura, he did not stop at demolition. He ordered the idols to be buried under the steps of the Jahanara Mosque in Agra to be trampled underfoot. If his motive was justice for a crime, why humiliate the deities? This proves his intent was to insult the Hindu faith.
The Anatomy of Propaganda Aurangzeb
Tajuddin’s video is a classic example of atrocity denial and victim-blaming.
-
Whitewashing Tyranny: By inventing a fake “crime” (rape), propagandists try to turn the villain (Aurangzeb) into a hero.
-
Demonizing the Victim: By falsely accusing Brahmins of rape, they try to make Hindus feel ashamed of their own history and justify the destruction of their holy sites.
-
Ignoring Scale: Historian Jadunath Sarkar documented that Aurangzeb destroyed over 300 temples in Rajasthan alone. Were all 300 temples “dens of rape”? The argument is absurd.
Conclusion Aurangzeb
Mohammad Tajuddin has been exposed as a peddler of fake history. His claim that Aurangzeb destroyed temples to punish Brahmin rapists is a total fabrication refuted by the Mughals’ own records. Such propaganda is a deliberate attempt to incite hatred against Brahmins and sanitize the dark legacy of Aurangzeb.
