Additional quotes by Jai Singh II
Though the news of the death of Raja Jai Singh (28th August 1667), whose services to Aurangzeb and his kingdom were known to the whole country, caused sorrow to everybody, the ungrateful Aurangzeb rejoiced, and rid of a Rajah whose influence might have been dangerous to his kingdom, declared that very hour an open war against Hinduism. He sent orders at once for the destruction of the fine temple called ‘Yalta’, in the neighourhood of Delhi. He also ordered every viceroy and governor to destroy all the temples within their jurisdiction. Among others was destroyed the great temple of Mathura.
It is no exaggeration to say that the death of Mirza Raja Jai Singh of Amber, on 28th August 1667 removed from his path an effective restraint on his hostile attitude towards the Hindus clothed till then in several layers of pretence but which exposed itself in all its nakedness in the coming years.
