3. The book is just a reinterpretation of the sources in order to present an alternative narrative and make the reader think that maybe aurangazeb wasn't so bad, stop thought-policing the so-called "wokes". Her works are as valid as Percival Spear's works.
Example: Wikipedia's article on Aurangzeb underplays his bigotry and quotes Audrey Truschke, an obscure academic outside of Twitter. Britannica's article on Aurangzeb is written by Percival Spear, eminent professor of history at Cambridge and a very respected historian. And Spear says:
"In general, Aurangzeb ruled as a militant orthodox Sunni Muslim; he put through increasingly puritanical ordinances that were vigorously enforced by muαΈ₯tasibs, or censors of morals. The Muslim confession of faith, for instance, was removed from all coins lest it be defiled by unbelievers, and courtiers were forbidden to salute in the Hindu fashion. In addition, Hindu idols, temples, and shrines were often destroyed."
