Aurangzeb and the Elephant
7th June 1633.
Prince Muhiuddin Muhammad was 15 at this time. Shah Jahan had taken his sons to witness an elephant fight behind the ancient Red Fort of Agra.
King Harshdeva of Kashmir (1089–1101) was named 'Turushka-Raja' (king of the Turks), due to his iconoclasm by plundering/razing temples & employment of Turkic mercenaries.

āshiqī sabr-talab aur tamannā betāb.
Dil kā kyā rañg karūñ ḳhūn-e-jigar hote tak?
Love has a need for patience, desires are a strain.
As long as my ache persists, how shall my heart sustain?
- Mirza Ghalib
