Zinda Peer

 Zinda peer means living saint.


This name is given to one of the mughal emperors, Aurangzeb.


Everyone must be wondering why does a fanatic and bigot king like Aurangzeb called by this name?


Aurangzeb was the emperor of the largest mughal empire. He led an austere life.


He did not take a single penny from the public treasury for his personal expenses.



He earned his own money by sewing prayer caps and writing the Quran.


He never allowed his any family member to take undue advantage of their positions.


He followed sharia completely.


Though Aurangzeb was the fanatic and bigot king, he was called by this name. (  I think from his own religious people  ).
