Aurangzeb was one of the cruellest ruler in medieval India. But indirectly it benefited the hindus. Often a question is asked who was more damaging for the hindus; Akbar or Aurangzeb ? The answer is Akbar because he diplomatically coarsed the hindu kings into submission with an exception of Maharana Pratap and Durgavati. But Aurangzeb adopting a hardline made many hindus against the mughals and soon after his death the Mughal Empire disintegrated. During his lifetime Marathas, Jats, Rajputs and Sikhs increased their power and subsequently hit the nail in the coffin of the Mughal Empire in the years to come.

We shoud be thankful for the benefits (in any ways)..
Also the one who u claim is forcely converted to muslim, and they themself say no it was a wishful conversion.. Don't this contradict your claims that he did forceful conversion...
And in Pakistan... somebody wrote earlier he (Aurangzeb) is a HERO.
Why a hero in some part of the world is being called Villian here.. History is same, time was same, ruler was same..
Let us ask this question to them who were really forcefully converted and want to revert back again??

What nonsense ! Aurangzeb killed Guru Tegh Bahadur for not converting to Islam. His own court records detail his killing and forced conversions. Stop lying. Unfortunately we can't expect any better from true Muslims!

He/(or anyone) did wrong if he forcefully tried to convert him and/or killed him.
