True.
No one had any right/ power over the Emperor. 😆 😆


It's because Ruqaiyya is extremely close to Jalal that he laughs when she says so or indulges her, in reality, he would've given her one look that would've sent her scurrying to the other end of Hindustaan. 😆 if she crossed her limit that is. 😆


And I don't think she was that foolish anyway. Ruqaiyya was a high born Timurid princess, she knew what the protocol required.

So ... i was sitting idol today and i thought to share some knowledge or history i have in my books some are from english books and some are from urdu ... and as only few people can understand and read urdu here so i'll give the explanation in english ... 😳
First comes the pics i had in my small sister's class 6 social studies books 😆

Akbar


Jehangir ( salim )


Nur Jahan ( Jehangir's most favorite wife )


Akbar inspecting the building of Fateh pur Sikri


A mughal miniature showing Timur with four of his descendants in the imperial dynasty of India . To his right Akbar and Babur are seated , where as Humayun and Jahangir are seated to his left

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now little information about Akbar ...



In the second image they talk or mentioned a very important thing about Jizya Tax

This is a fact about Babar ...


So , this much till now , rests are the urdu images and it will take time for me to give description in english as its a bit in detail but .. i'll tell u that it contains information such as When Adham killed Atgah Khan , Akbar how slapped him and punished him and Maham's death ...

Secondly , that Bharmal was scared of hearing that Akbar's army is ready to attack him , so he gifted her daughter ( they didn't mentioned her name but we know its Jodha ) and rare things ...

and so on ... about Salim and all ..

Please hit like ... and comment 😳 more information will be added soon 😃

KS was a word used for transgenders. Widely known for Their service as ''caretakers'' in Harem of Mughal rulers. They were not physicians. They had somewhat better status there compared to 'general' perception today.
They were said to have a 'connection' with God and their blessing/'dua' was believed to bestow good fortune / future / heir to the lady. They were seldom offended as their 'curse' / 'baddua' was also feared.

KS often were the closest companion to the harem in-mates.

I use the term in-mates because they lived in the world's most luxurious prison. Most were immensely frustrated in every way possible!


It was a horrid life to lead.

Not everyone was as blessed as Jodha. 😳
