The correct answer is Option 4- Aurangzeb
The king who abolished the Parsi "Navroz festival" in India was Aurangzeb. Aurangzeb ruled the Mughal Empire from 1658 to 1707. He was known for his strict adherence to Islamic principles and implemented several policies perceived as intolerant towards other religions. Navroz is a nine-day festival celebrated by the Parsi community in India, marking the beginning of their New Year. Aurangzeb disapproved of the festivities associated with Navroz, considering them to be extravagant and exceeding the bounds of Islamic austerity. He issued a decree prohibiting the public celebration of Navroz during his reign. |
