00:00The Aurangzeb debate continues to rages on, but the RSS has come with very interesting

00:05comments.

00:06The RSS this time downplaying the controversy over the Nagpur tome specially and ever since

00:13we have seen the violence also that have come in.

00:16Remember what has happened is that they have called the controversy in Nagpur unnecessary

00:22while the Uttarakhand government has gone on a renaming drive in the hill state to remove

00:27traces of Aurangzeb's rule.

00:29RSS leader Suresh Bhaiyaji Joshi called the tome showdown unnecessary.

00:33He says anyone who has faith can visit Aurangzeb's tome which he claims was built due to India's

00:40inclusivity.

00:41But this comes after days after senior Sangh leader also called the Mughal ruler irrelevant

00:46in the present day.

00:48How is then the Uttarakhand government responding differently?

00:51They have renamed at least 10 areas including Haridwar's Aurangzeb Nagar to Shivaji Nagar

00:57calling it a bid to preserve India's cultural heritage.

01:01In this renaming drive in the hill state among the changes are for example Aurangzeb Nagar

01:05renamed to Shivaji Nagar, Mohammadpur is now Mohanpur, Khanpur has been changed to Krishnanagar,

01:12in Dehradun itself Miyawala area is now Ramjiwala, Nawabi Nagar in Nainital will likely be now

01:19known as Atalmarg.

01:20So these are some of the changes that have come in.

01:22RSS has a different take on this.

01:27If we compare Shivaji Nagar with Aurangzeb Nagar, our roots should be with Shivaji Nagar.

01:34Our country's citizens should have respect for Shivaji Nagar.

01:38He also respects Rahim Raskhan, this is a good thing.

01:41But Rahim Raskhan has sung the devotional song of Lord Krishna here, he has tried to

01:45connect with the roots.

01:46But he has no attachment towards India.

01:49This is the same way as the British have.

01:54Why did the British fight for freedom?

01:58Why did they liberate the country?
