Hope you all had a lovely weekend!
title: The world closes doors on Chittod & Ajabdeh asks for the Jauhar keys
btw, I know most of you have read the promises that I have made for Chittod seize's brave souls, but just in case you have not seen the post here it is- https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/bharat-ka-veer-putra-maharana-pratap/4352269/promises-for-chittod-seizes-brave-souls - it used to be a sticky but I dont know why it was removed!!
so we were waiting for a praja scene, and today we get one! we get another hug! Pratap is so happy to see her!
AS has been left with DB, DB is surprised that she is leaving him with her with all that she did! Ajabdeh says that if I see the good, good will happen, so how can I see the bad in you in this time of great sankat!
DB gives the keys of the mahal- no matter how big a man becomes the keys to his home, his fort, his palace will be kept by the his wife or the women of the household!
its a shame that mewar's royal documents dont show the women's contribution during the war!
Where are the keys to the jauhar room- I got goosebumps when AJabdeh asked for them! we see the fbs of Maharani Karnavati's jauhar! my respect and salute to them! I felt such pride when she asked for them, and when DB said you wont need them, she is right, AJabdeh wont need them but the others will!
Years ago, her mother in law, JB had prepared for a jauhar without fear and the time has come for Ajabdeh to take the responsibility for that tradition if the time comes!
DB finally gives the jauhar room keys- such a sad day when a mother-in law gives her daugher in law the keys to the jauhar room, but its a moment of pride because she is passing on the tradition of honour and self-respect alive!
we see that akbar's army just keeps growing!
Chittor's fort is huge, has one of the longest fort walls in Asia! And to man such a fort is the big undertaking! Those of us who have been there, know how big that fort is, and its only the brave men and women of that fort that kept the fort in their control for that long! Salute to them!
Pratap was waiting for US and the family to get far away as possible, and thats why they waited 20 days till they closed the last gate of the fort! smart move but now Pratap has announced that the last fort door be closed, isolating them forever!
Why did I say that the world closes its doors on CHittod- because mewar was the lone kingdom who put up an endless fight against mughal aggression! no other kingdom was willing to help them, such a pity! When Hitler marched over to Alsace-Lurene region, the world just turned a blind eye and let them have it, they closed their doors to that region, they closed the doors to all the people who were sent to concentration camps to die! This is not as extreme but you get the similarity of the situation, Im not calling akbar, hitler, but when men of power get power hungry they all sort of look the same and sound the same!
Akbar finds out that the royal family is gone but he knows that Pratap is still there; he just wants to surround the fort and capture the royal family so that Pratap will leave the fort!
Akbar also talks of the vastness of the fort, its huge, I was there many years ago and I didnt get to see all of it, you have to put in at least a few days to see that fort in detail!
the fort is kind of ruined thanks to war and akbar because he left it in ruin as a lesson to all who stood up to his authority! shame on him!
precap- akbar sends soldiers to find US and AS is spotted by the mughals, how the heck did they get to them so quickly!
I liked today's episode, especially the first half!
