The problem is not the movie ‘Chhaava’. It is how politicians exploited the emotions it provoked. The movie did not ask for Aurangzeb’s tomb to be vandalised, politicians did.
Burhanpur district magistrate says awaiting official report of SDM and will approach ASI. But fields lining Asirgarh Fort have been site of amateur excavations for decades now.

This man was a total and absolute failure: He was an intolerant orthodox loser who spent all his time and resources of the empire for a campaign which he lost.
