Quote to review[edit]
Perhaps for the article History of Rajasthan:
- "as the cloud pours water over the land, so did Aurangzeb pour his barbarians over the land...Jodhpur fell and was Pillaged, all the great towns in the plains of Mairta, Didwana and Rohit shared a similar fate. The emblems of religion were trampled under foot, the temples thrown down and mosques erected on their sites".
- This is well summarized in the words of a Rajasthani poet, ‚As the cloud pours water upon the earth, so did Aurangzeb pour his barbarions (asur) over the land … Jodhpur fell and was pillaged and all the great towns in the planes of Merta, Didwana and Rohit, shared a similar fate. The emblems of religion were trampled under feet, the temples thrown down and mosques erected on their sites.‛
