Typically, Aurangzeb is accorded the title of being the "Perfect Muslim Prince" since he was very strict in his implementation of religious-oriented law. He excused all non-Muslim courtiers from his audience and expelled Christian ministers from Western countries. He forcibly converted numerous communities, especially Kashmiri Hindus, to Islam. He fought wars against the Sikhs to further expand the territory controlled by the Muslim Mughals. He destroyed a number of major Hindu Temples such as the Kashi Vishwanath temple, Kesava Deo temple and Somnath temple in order to build massive mosques on the same sites.

This is all contrary to his grandfather, Akbar the Great, who was known for permitting the free and equal practice of religion.

It is in my view unfortunate that Muslims continue to celebrate Aurangzeb over Akbar the Great, when the former was a religiously-discriminatory violent dictator who repressed minorities and the latter was an enlightened liberal dictator who protected minorities.
