Each of the three characters have different agendas &mdash; Shah Jahan dreams about a black-marble-palace for himself, Aurangzeb dreams of one nation, one language, one religion, while Dara fears that Aurangzeb will destroy the precious heritage of Akbar. The play&rsquo;s theme is about the struggles and contradictory dispositions of its key characters: Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb; Dara and Aurangzeb; Jahanara and Roshanara; and finally Aurangzeb versus Aurangzeb.
