My name is Syria. I spell it differently than Shreya. U can call me Kabuttar, Siberia or Pigeon like others in IF do.😆
You are very welcome.
thank u.
That is a very perceptive analysis, and it very neatly expands on and rounds off what I had said above about the impact of what Jodha said on Jalal. This is the real beginning of Jalal's journey of self-realisation, and his finding his way back to his true self, the broadminded, generous and inclusive Akbar of his later years.Yup, it's is.😳
In the short term, however, as I wrote earlier on another thread, Jalal is going to find out that his bibi is more like a hedgehog than a velvet pillow (that makhmali badan nonsense; when she is sitting in the palkhi and he can see nothing of her but her face, how does he spot the makhmali badan?)
A few comments on your take on this, if I may. It is not that Jalal has no softness within him at all, that he is " A man who till now does not even what it like to have a heart. He does not know how to be compassionate, loving and caring:" If that was so, he would never have risked this life, and the destruction of all his hopes of victory over Rajasthan, to come right into the heart of the enemy's citadel to rescue not just a servitor, but one he sees as his friend. Bairam Khan would have let Abdul die under torture. That is the difference that is there already between him and Jalal. See the kind and understanding way in which Jalal's waves away Zaheer's objections to his leaving the camp. That is not the way most absolute kings would have treated a servitor in such a case, they would have shouted at him or hit him for daring to raise any objections. So the seeds are already there in Jalal, they only need nurturing.
His mother cannot do that as she has lost all her hold over him because, as you have noted, since he feels , and has very likely been told by Mahaam Anga, that her leaving him with a nurse was a total and cynical abandonment of her son to save her own life.So it will have to be someone else, Jodha. But for that to have effect, she will also have to show that she cares for him, and that is not going to be easy.Let us see.True if it was Khan he would never risked his life to rescue Abdul, but Jalal did. That where the difference between Jalal,and Khan lie. Jalal does have heart, but he is just unaware of it. Jalal is deeply wounded relationship with his mother, and I know Jodha will change that. I really pity her because she was no wrong in choosing her husband over her child. it was the circumstances.
As for the bloopers, the rest are tolerable, but not the first one. It is ridiculous to forget that Jalal was illiterate. That was one of the remarkable things about Akbar - hisI lifelong thirst for knowledge of all kinds despite this handicap, and how he managed such a huge empire so very well despite it.. He used to have books read to him every night before he fell asleep. I hope the serial does not show him writing kavitas to Jodha!!
Shyamala B.CowsikEkta and her world what can i say?I know some bloopers are tolerable, and some are not. But what can we do?I just they improve as we go along.🥱thank u again for the post. Loved it..🤗
