Today it is Aurangzeb in nagpur. Tomorrow it may be mysuru or any other historical site. A Spark may ignite a bigger fire. Petty political leaders are stoking communal fires and this is not good for India.Rulers must think again before they try to reopen history books.

communal disharmony
In modern India the seed of communal disharmony is sown by english by various acts like Indian council act of 1909 which introduced separate electorate for muslims under this, the Muslim members were to be elected Only by Muslim voters.Thus, the act 'legalised communalism' and lord minto came to be known as the father of communal electorate.
Communal disharmony, particularly between religious communities like Hindus and Muslims, has a history in India, with incidents of violence occurring since British colonial rule, and is a serious threat to India's secular and democratic polity.
Recent examples of communal disharmony in India include the 2020 Delhi riots and incidents of violence in West Bengal over Ram Navami processions highlighting the ongoing challenges to maintaining religious harmony. Recently, curfew has been imposed in parts of a city in India's western state of Maharashtra after Hindu groups demanded the removal of the tomb of Aurangzeb, a 17th-Century Mughal emperor, sparking violence on Monday night. Since British times this kind of communal conflict has been happened often. Political parties use communal conflict as a tool to make people divided on the basis of religion, caste, creed etc.
