Well..there are mixed views on it
1. He was extremist.. a Sunni Muslim
So he never tolerated practices of other religions not even Siya Muslim's.
2. This one is soft... Aurangzeb wanted a true Islam based governance so he enforced shariya.
       But history goes with 1 view.

Cause of abolition was..
Later rulers neither extremists nor powerful as him
