Aurangzed was an opportunitst. He used able hindus for his means and persecuted the poor ones for their religion. And in the name of Islam defended all his decisions.Why hindus are being appointed at high positions- Islam says so, why hindus are being persecuted- Islam says so.
Why do you think that hindus moved to North and towards Himalayas between 1500-1800 AD. If you go to Uttaranchal, you will find unusually high percentage of Brahmins. All of them fled other parts of India during muslim rule to escape persecution and conversion and getting killed. These people and many more would continue to hate Aurangzeg.
History is often not taught to us with facts and rather as a recipi made to please all, most of all the minorities.

Shivaji, Sikh guru gobindsing, dara shikoh etcs. were traiters and collaborators of enemy.In the american language they were enemy combatants. In Britsh point of view they were like Baghat sing, Ashwak Ullah Khan, Chandra Shekhar Azad and in the present situation of India they were like, Mabbool But, Afzal Guru, Dawood Ibrahim and Chota shakeel. That time they were anti national and enemies of Nation. Any ruler, Govt would have to do what Emporer Aurangzeb did. If you still dont understand and not accepting the truth then you are lost inteligence case and lost conscience.

There is a difference between maintaining law and order and promoting a religious agenda. Aurangzeb's law and order problem was due to his religious agenda. Which was to convert Sikhs and Hindus to Islam.
