A well known Indian correspondant M.J.Akbar says so.

"(Aurangzeb, incidentally, for those who might consider this

interesting, was a vegetarian, but this did not make him a sensible

ruler.)"

 

 

What is the historical source for this piece of info? After all

Aurengazeb was by all accounts a fundemntalist Muslim ruler creating

much bad memory with Indians. He was anything but eclectic in his

attitudes and beliefs.

 

To consider him a vegetarian strains credulity. Is it true?
