i think this is picture of one of his younger wives/cocubbines whom he married much later in life
an empress will never dare wear so provocatively in 15th century at age of 60+ with a son and and handful of grandchildren
Hi..😊
I also thought it likeways😆, but found after careful scrutiny, that this is MUZ with Akbar.
The
picture also bore the inscription in Persian, by there name.😊
Also, this
picture was published in the Statesman newspaper on 14th November, 1916, after due confirmation.(i do not know, it's correct or not, but the professor who is assisting me on this, has also confirmed the same. He even told me this date.😕.) To be more precise, this picture was
published in the Kolkata edition of Statesman newspaper.😊.
Moreover,
journals and papers have been framed EXCLUSIVELY on this topic.😊.Even i have mentioned name of a journal from Asiatic Society of Bengal.😊
Also, it can be
verified from the book i mentioned in my post, with citations.The book was wriiten quite early.
I am told this picture created a "FURORE."!!😊.It can be imagined by seeing it. Such was the case that it was printed in the most prominent newspaper of India at that time😲!!.On another note,
if you visit the Fatehpur Sikri, and go through the chronicles there😊(though it will take HUGE time.😕), clearly,
you will get to know about MUZ in reality, her
status and
power and
influence.😊 She was
regarded as the most beautiful lady of his time.(as per chronicles)😉...And, till date, there is no picture where she is old😃(atleast, i have not seen such a picture). Infact, she is only 22 days older, or nearly same age.
Again, i agree an Empress could not dress as provocatively, but again, who knows that, the picture was for their private use. And, quite possible, later it came out.😊
I wrote what i read, after due verifications.😊
