How great was Hemu Vikramaditya really as a military commander and conqueror?

​

\>Smith described Samudragupta as "Indian Napoleon"11 we can certainly call Hemu "the Napoleon of Medieval¹2 India" as the victor of 22 battles before dying fighting as a valliant soldier at Panipat due to sheer bad luck. His triumphant march from Chunar to Dilli (Delhi) can be equated to the Italian campaign of Napoleon "He came, he saw, he conquered". 13 Like him, Hemu never saw the defeat in a battle and romped from victory to victory throughout

After reading this comparison, I’m curious about how historically impressive his campaigns actually were in the context of medieval Indian warfare

How does Advaita Vedanta or any vedantic school of thaught deal with the problem of evil?

The problem of evil has always felt like one of the hardest philosophical objections against almost every major religious system, especially those that describe ultimate reality as perfect, all knowing, all powerful or compassionate. If God, Brahman, or any supreme reality is ultimately good and in control, then why do suffering, cruelty, injustice, ignorance and meaningless pain exist at all? Is evil something truly real, a product of free will, ignorance, karma, maya, or just a limitation of human understanding? And how exactly do traditions like Advaita Vedanta answer this without weakening either the nature of the divine or the reality of suffering itself?
