Why Mughal princesses did not marry Rajput Kings? - Page 2

Many of us have wondered, why only Rajput Princesses married Mughal Kings and not the other way around, that is Mughal princesses marrying Rajput Kings.

The answer will astonish you as it did me. According to the book Maharana Pratap by Dr Bhawan Singh Rana, it is written in Rajput records called the Vir Vinod that Akbar had put several marriage proposals of Mughal princesses before Rajput kings, but to maintain purity of blood or for some other reasons, they were refused.

Now you know, Akbar wanted two-way matrimonial alliance. This is vital knowledge because it explodes the argument that Mughal Emperors forced Rajput Kings to hand their daughters in marriage when they were not willing to do the same with their own daughters.

The author Dr Bhawan Singh Rana writes 'It is sad that the Rajput Kings of that era did not feel much shame in marrying off their sisters/daughters to the Mughal kings, but they developed a sense of shame on the issue of marrying Mughal princesses.'

By the way, I highly recommend this book if you want to know more about the life history of the Great warrior Maharana Pratap.

rajputs did not wanted to marry mughal princess because the maghal wanted to convert them in islam .they were againt marrying their daughters but when your own person becomes traitor than what they can do . even today you can see if any hindu boy orgirl marry a christian or a muslim their name is changed and are converted even the child name is kept from their religion Islam or Christian . no offence to any one and if i hurt anyone i am sorry.

Thanks for response. If what you say is true the author would have mentioned it. He went into great detail of history. Besides in which era does a man change anything for a woman. Sadly never. It is always the woman who has to compromise, even today in interreligious marriages.

No the real reason was maybe purity of blood, as the author Dr Rana says.

yes what you say is rigt but they forced many hindu prince marry the muslims and convert in islam . its for all my my forum friends . iam saying this because when i hear this story from my elders my heart bleeds . and today when i saw MP i was completly shocked with twisted story and i also pleaded many to join with me to raise voice but the comment that came to me were more hurting .please don,t misunderstand me I just left this serial because the way they are mocking with the story of my great great great grand father MP .

MY heart also bleeds for them because I also believe conversion is not secularism.
