The Modi government is looking for the tomb of Dara Shikoh, the 'true Mughal' in Delhi


New delhi date. February 17, 2020, Monday

The Modi government is currently looking for the tomb of a Muslim man of Mughal era, the name of this Muslim man is Dara Shikoh and was considered a non-fundamentalist and a Liberal Muslim. Darius translated the Hindu religious texts. Including 52 Upanishads and the Gita.

These religious texts were translated from their native language into Persian so that they could reach more people. Nobody has any idea where Dara's grave is currently, so the government is looking for him and wants to give the title of a true Muslim.

The Central Government has also constituted a seven-member committee to find Dara's grave. The committee must find Shikoh's tomb within three months. However, this is not easy as many of the tombs that were killed during the Mughal period are located in different places in the country.

At present Humayun's tomb has the highest tombs. There are about 140 tombs, some of which have no name or text, so now it is considered very difficult to find out what the tomb of Dara Shikoh is in these tombs.

Dara Shikoh is believed to have been born on March 11, 1615 in Ajmer, Rajasthan. His father's name was Mohammad Khurram and his mother's name was Mumtaz Mahal. Dara studied the Quran, history, Persian poetry, etc.

He was also a good translator, though his father and brother Aurangzeb were both cruel rulers. Dara's grandfather, Jahangir, was killed in 1627, his father later assumed the throne, later known as Shah Jahan. He worked in the Mughal army, was made governor or governor of Allahabad.

Later, Multan took over the command of Kabul, though his brother Aurangzeb later killed Dara in order to defend his authority. Earlier, Dara had formed a friendship with Guru Har Rai, a Sikh cleric, as well as a number of Hindu clerics.

In the meantime he was exposed to Indian scriptures and translated these Sanskrit texts into Persian. He was also a diva of music, dance, etc. And during his reign he promoted modern and liberal culture.
