Birbal's son lala was small time mansabdar during Salim's reign..TM's son's were Kalyandas and Darawar and they too were small time officers...Salim never gave high mansabs to Rajputs...did not like them..

Sindhu plz keep giving briefs abt Akbarnama so that I may start soon..

will do. i will update tomorrow Ela. only read up to 60 pages. did not find much till there..

I was reading about Shiva Ji...

I am reading the incident where he is put under house arrest by Aurangzeb in Agra...

Shivaji seeks a personal interview with Aurangzeb. But Aurangzeb refuses it...

The reasons of Aurangzeb's refusal are awesome..😆
Both Shivaji and Aurangzeb were clever..!!!.

Read below:

""
The Prime-Minister of Aurangzeb was warned by a letter from Mughal Governor Shaista Khan, and dissuaded Aurangzeb from risking his life in a private interview with a "magician like ShivaJi"..

Aurangzeb was too wise to meet in a small room with a few guards the man(ShivaJi) who had slained Afzal Khan almost within sight of his 10,000 soldiers, and wounded Shaista Khan in the very bosom of his harem amidst a ring of 20,000 Mughal troops, and escaped unscathed on both occasions..!!!!

Popular belief was that Shivaji was a wizard with "a swift and agile body," who was able to jump across 40 or 50 yards of space upon the person of his victim. The prlvate audience was hence refused by Aurangzeb.

It was tough to win trust of the clever Aurangzeb .Shivaji was an awesome 'actor'-fighter-politician...I find their story interesting..Both are really strong...

Well he might have been made a scape goat but he was blinded on this charge only. .Salim should not have done it. .conspiracy was brought in open by khurram

A person who was "supposedly belonging to the group" hired to assassinate Salim came to the Wazir/Diwan of Khurram and told him that Khusrau has hatched a plan to assassinate Salim..


The Diwan told this news to Khurram, and Khurram told this to Salim..


Blinding of Khusrau has not been mentioned in Jahangir's memoirs...



Doesn't this look fishy ?

But blinding of Khusaro is mentioned in every other history book Abhay..May be it was too painful for Salim to mention...

There is no exact record of blinding Khusrau..And the records differ about the method of blinding. :P
Salim did not expresses any remorse at Khusrau's plight in his memoirs...

@Rashmi , Rasika and others..

Can you share more information about Shivaji.. ?

Esp. Related to the incident which i mentioned above^^ on this page.. :))
