The controversy surrounding Aurangzeb’s tomb has been a point of contention among certain groups, who view the Mughal emperor’s legacy negatively due to historical accounts of his reign. Calls for the removal of his tomb have gained momentum in recent times, with supporters arguing that it symbolizes a period of oppression. However, opponents contend that such actions could exacerbate communal tensions and undermine the country’s pluralistic fabric.
