Hey Mate,
Here Is Your Answer
___________
The general view of historians is that Aurangzeb entirely reversed the policy of religious toleration followed by Akbar and it resulted in serious revolts among the Hindus.
In the words of Lane-Poole, “For the first time in their history, the Mughals beheld a rigid Muslim in their emperor—a Muslim as sternly repressible of himself as of his people around him, a king who was prepared to stake his throne for sake of his faith.
He must have been fully conscious of the dangerous path he was pursuing, and well aware … against every Hindu sentiment. Yet he chose this course, and adhered to this with unbending resolve through close on fifty years of unchallenged sovereignty.”
Aims of Aurangzeb’s religious policy:
It is generally accepted that Aurangzeb was a fanatic Sunni Mussalman. His chief aim was to convert Dar-ul-harb (India: the country of Kafirs or infidels) to Dar-ul-Islam (country of Islam). He was intolerant towards other faiths, especially Hindus. He was also against Shia Muslims.
Aurangzeb’s religious policy had two aspects i.e:
(i) To promote the tenets of Islam and to ensure that the people led their lives accordingly.
(ii) To adopt anti-Hindu measures.

Auragazeb was known as a reverse of Akbar’s policy on religions. His policies on Religions were highly dissatisfying and torn apart some of his loyal and trusted administrators and supported dynasties.
Explanation:
- Religious prosecutions of the Hindus during his reign hastened the dynasty fall. Akbar enlisted Hindus chiefly Rajputs as defenders of his throne but Aurangzeb re-imposed the policy of jizya on the Hindus.
- He abolished them from their positions that formed the loom of the dynasty. He started discrimination against the Shias by putting their teachings, practices down. He started losing support from the powerful administration class.
- Sikhs under his reign turned revengeful as their guru of that time was put to death by him along with the conversion of his followers into militant sec by establishing Khalsa.
