good...karma at play...

but then i read some other comments, and what Khilji did with Kafur was inhumane...anyone wouldve wanted revenge and those were the times or brutal law at play, survival of the fittest.

khilji captured and killed ratan singh in war,hearing this padmini commited jauhar.When khilj entered the chitod fort after victory,he saw ashes and the jauharjwala as all the women of the fort along with padmini burnt themelves doing jauhar.thats what rajput women did if they lost a war as the winning side would break into the fort and rape and enslave the women.

dont know how true this is, but i have heard the winning soldiers would molest even the dead body of the women from loosing sides, hence Jauhar and not any other form of suicide which would leave their corpse behind 🤢

yes he deserved much more tragic end...

Why am i feeling that SLB will make Khilji more humane...drawing sympathy for him...hope not...its not just any love story with a triangle...

Isn't it said that it is Padmavati who started the custom of jauhar? I remember reading something about it

Also from what I have heard, Ratan Singh was a compassionate guy and a brave warrior with strong ideals.. I also remember reading that he was married for like 14 times but I don't know how true that is😆

cited from wiki :

'Rani Padmini (or Padmavati) is a legendary queen mentioned in Padmavat, an epic poem written by Malik Muhammad Jayasi in 1540 CE.^[1] According to the poem, her mother called her Pammishe was the wife of King Ratansen of Chittor.^[2] and the daughter of the contemporary Sinhala king^{[citation needed]}. Rani Padmini was renowned across Indian land for her divine beauty.^{[citation needed]}

There are many historical evidence that Rani Padmini actually existed.^[3] 'Padmavat is the first written reference to Rani Padmini, occurring approximately 240 years after the events described in it.'
