For those like me who are unaware about Indian history or just need to refresh:

1. I looked him up briefly (I'm from the US, back in school we touched upon Akbar and the Mughal Empire, but not into very much detail) and found that Mirza Hakim was the appanage holder of Kabul. Ding ding ding! Who else is from Kabul? That Ben-e-wh**e, whoops I mean Ben-e-zir.

2. Ok so I read through the conflicts and all, simply put Mirza Hakim and Akbar weren't like Ram and Lakshman and more like Duryodhan and Arjun. (Even more simply put: He no like Akbar).

3. He tried to like turn all of Akbar's soldiers anti-Hindustani to stop them from taking over Kabul (or something like that, basically he was there for a personal motive). He was like "Don't come take over my Kabul! Start a war in your own kingdom instead!" but luckily he failed. Akbar was more like "hey let's coexist happily and diversely as Indians rather than Hindus and Muslims!" which was one of the reasons why he was such a great Emperor.

5. The literature said nothing about Jodha Bai, Harka Bai, or Heer Kunwar with regards to Mirza Hakim.

Moving on to the show:

4. Mirza Hakim had this "tragic" persona in the text I was reading, (cause like he wasn't the great Emperor, his brother was. In his eyes, he was just the wee-little-Hakim of Kabul not a big Shehensha like Jalal something like that). Oh ho! Such tragedy! And he's also referred to in other places as "The Forgotten Prince." Anyways, since this is a drama that is for the most part historically inaccurate, in the show he might use this to get pity points from Jodha (if the Mirza Hakim-Jodha "track" is true)

Alright so yeah conclusion of this poor "research paper"

Benezir and Mirza Hakim have a connection.

Both are going to be negetive characters, Benezir already is one, and Mirza Hakim might later on be "revealed" to be one.

PS. Baksh this poor soul if she is wrong historically, I'm looking up history on winter break, I think that says something about my dedication :P

Probably, but wait (this is kind of embarrassing) what was the message. I can't read Hindi nor did I hear what was written.

THAT is actually a really good prediction. Probably. And then in the end they team up to save their kingdom (and each other).

the message was bit confusing, even i did not understand much, maybe it was to tell mirza how to get jo out of the way because as of now she is the biggest hindrance! i think!
