Among all
readings which i have done till date, about any of the wars in HISTORY,
it is the 3rd Siege of Chittor which makes me think hard about the people "trapped" inside the fort. I have NEVER felt for
any war BUT i feel a LOT for 3rd Siege of Chittor. The courage shown by
Chittor folks was OUTSTANDING.!
And i started watching the show again to see this siege, expecting CV's will show it with honesty.
But, alas !
No.
They are showing as if some non sense MINOR war is going on.!
With all their FOOLISH and MADE up history...
</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Daily 100's of people died in those 5 months.</font>
Here, it looks like some TRUCE is going on.!
I was disgusted to see , Kalla and Pratap trying to KILL Akbar.!
What non sense. They could NEVER harm the enemy, except in battle field.!
In reality, Chittor had >>
canons
muskets
boulders
catapults
bow arrows
and many "special" weapons which Akbar got after winning the fort..
And in the show, Chittor's army is shown resourceless just sitting with bows and arrows.!!
But,
i find this show better in some "mannerisms" compared to the "other"
one which i watch. At least here, the people behave royally and things
look believable about the characters...So, if i forget REAL
history then this track looks fine to me.
But, this track could have been MUCH better.!
I do not like, Chittor soldiers shown as resourceless and helpless and confused.!
How they held the Fort for 5 months.
CV's need to show that, there was NO single DAY in those 5 months when a FIGHT did not take place.!
And they completely omitted the fights in Kumbhalgarh, Mandalgarh, Udaipur, etc..!
Son of Jaimal died at Kumbhalgarh, but defended the fort.!
</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">I am disappointed, will not leave the writer </font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif"> of this track</font>, will blast them, if i get any.

I regret reading your posts Abhay as its raising the expectation bar with not even an ounce of it coming to us anyway. How terribly sad. Unlike the other show, I had some confidence earlier that they would deal this better. But I am betrayed. As it is I am not happy with the MP cast given the personality portrayed and now the track is pathetic. It seem the worse ever track of MP to me. Even DB's painful track seem bearable in front of this.
Now, I take back my words to say only nice thing is the history that I am seeing through your posts. I loved both the recent posts, I was just thrilled and yet again in awe of Maharana, who became the greatest challenge for Akbar and made him struggle to get his way through.
