History of Aurangzib, Based on Original Sources v3.c47.13

- **Language:** English

### [v3.c47.13](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v3.c47.13)

If you imagine piety to consist in oppressing the people and terrorizing the Hindus, you ought first to levy the \*jaziya\* from Rana Raj Singh, who is the head of the Hindus. Then it will not be so very difficult to collect it from me, as I am at your service. But to oppress ants and flies is far from displaying valour and spirit.
