Now, Arti my dear, that is where Jalal's inbuilt arrogance comes into play. She would become naayab because he himself, the great Shahenshah Jalaluddin Muhammed, would have taken the trouble and run the tremendous risk of abducting her! I believe he thinks she would become puffed up as a consequence!😉
What he wants is for her come to him voluntarily, as part of a bargain to save her Amer from destruction. Then she would have been properly humbled for her having dared to put a sword to his throat - which continues to rankle in his mind, where it struggles with reluctant admiration for so gutsy a woman. It is the latter that will shape their future relationship, plus her realising that he has a soft side as well.
In fact, as I wrote elsewhere, I wish he had tried abducting her! Careening all over the Rajasthan countryside in the dark, trying to control a woman who would all the time have been trying to scratch his eyes out, if not decapitate him with his own khanjar. Nice going!😉
Moreover, she would never have become a concubine, as she was blue-blooded after all. He would have married her, but she would have been one among many, that is all.
But the point is that Jalal has no idea of the tartar he is going to have to cope with, and he will soon learn. I am curious to see how they handle their first confrontation post their marriage. Later, she would not be able to soften him if she does not acquire an emotional hold over him, and we have to see how she does that.
Why, my dear, I am pleased and flattered to know that you read my posts, but why silent? Please do argue as much as you want, and if you are right and I cannot defend my position, I would be the first person to say so!
