Serial and fiction aside, I believe jodha did accept Islam. She was buried after death.

There is no historical mention that she was allowed to retain Hinduism, maybe looking at her palace and the tulsi vrindavan , it is possible that in spite of being converted she was given the freedom to worship Hindu gods.

I have read that akbar forced the religious leaders to take a prolonged trip to Mecca, he explored all the religions including Jainism and Christianity.i do not think he will bow to these leaders for much longer.

Let's see if the serial show her taking Islam which I guess would be historically correct.

i feel that jodha get's herself ready to convert for the sake of jalal but he does not accept it after her request to change also as he has given word to her. so this incident makes jodha change her opinion about him for good and gradually cares for him

jodha has a feeling that the way of prayer is different but all the prayers lead to the ultimate power-god. so she accepts most probably to convert as one of my friend said in the same forum though she converts she may be allowed tofollow hinduism and rituals also as per history.

The truth is jodha converted to islam almost immediately after marriage to jalal. But she also followed her hindu religion both together but officially she was a muslim

akbar was fine with whatever her religion because he had married christian and jain wives too. But ulema demanded they all officially be muslims and hence all would convert to islam immediately before or after marriage.

jodha converted to islam within a couple of years of marriage only on pressure from her own father because he felt if she converted to islam they(amer) will get more benefits. Much before jehangir was born she became a muslim. Yes but i am sure ulema also put pressure on jodha and jalal and when jodha was in deliemma her father adviced her that she will have better standing in jalal's harem if she converted and their family shall also benefit

This was 16th century an emperor was less poerful than religious ulema that time

i think she might get ready to accept islam, but jalal will definitely stay true to his word and stand up to the ulema so she doesnt have to convert.

Jodha did convert into islam but not knowing what was the reason that she took such decision becos all have different version to its stories...but the confirm fact is she did convert but she remain devotee of lord krishna n follow hindu rituals...till her death...her son did her last rites in islamic way becos she convert to islam religion n jehangir born to hindu-muslim parents mostly followed his father's footsteps since he is emperor n he wants his son to be like him...but that doesn't mean jehangir doesn't know abt hindu rituals...sure jodha being his mother taught him hindu rituals n introduce him to her fav god lord krishna...I read abt jehangir that he respects both his parents religion n knows abt lord krishna n bhagvat gita just like his father taught him quran n muslim rituals

Hindu funeral rituals doesn't mean only cremation all the time...if the dead person wished to be buried as his last wish...the body can be buried too...n even make a tomb...well I say it from my personal witness to my uncle's funeral...his last wish was being buried n his sons fulfill his wish...n he was born hindu n a devotee of lord shiva
