I read in many articles that indian king taken woman for granted likefor satisfaction even when a girl child take birth she was not pampered is it true
plz justify
Real Akbar was not a lover boy or one men women as they are showing in the serial jodha akbar abul fazl akbar court historian said akbar was kind with his harem.shensha akbar have 300 wives including 35 of them are officialy recorded but he has 3 cheif wives only they were
rukkaiya sultan,saleema sultan,harkabai. i read shensha akbar bought many jagirs for
rukkaiya sultan,sends gifts to jodha when she given birth to saleem,arranged the journey when saleema sultan decided to go for Haj. shensha akbar taken one of his court noble Abul Wasi wife Daulat shad begum into his harem for diplomatical reasons, later fallen for her beauty & forced his husband to divorce his wife.shensha akbar married daulat shad begum she bore two daughters to akbar.
in mughal history so far i read there are only two emperors who were head over heels fallen for only one particular wife & bestowed there love & authorities to them
emperor shahjahan & mumtaz mahal he was truly deeply in love with his 3rd wife mumtaz.shahjahan court historian said after marrying mumtaz mahal the emperor forgot his previous two wives they were wives only for name shahjahan love & care was totaly devoted to mumtaz mahal.
mumtaz mahal bore 14 childrens to shahjahan only five childrens survived.in court prossedings mumtaz mahal sit behind her husband shahjahan when he passed judgements and if she disagreed she would hold his shoulder in her hand and whisper her opinion. on the death of mumtaz mahal shahjahan was paralysed by grief & weeping fits.Shah Jahan went into secluded mourning for a year. When he appeared again, his hair had turned white, his back was bent, and his face worn. shahjahan built tajmahal in the memory of his beloved wife mumtaz mahal.in the last painful years of shahjahan exile he use to sit in window & watch tajmahal for many hours.he visited her beloved wife grave every month on boat.shahjahan never married any other women when mumtaz mahal was alive.the court historians of shahjahan foundy speak about mumtaz & shahjahan lovestory.
emperor jahangir & nurjahan some of the historian claim they were in love from there teenage but akbar forced nurjahan father to married her with another men name sher afghan.
after the death of sherafghan nurjahan was bought to agra. nurjahan had a daughter named laadli begum.in noroz festival emperor jahangir saw her & with in two months both married. emperor jahangir was 42yrs & nurjahan was 34yrs when they got married.nurjahan was the last wife of jahangir he never married after nurjahan.later emperor jahangir bestowed his whole empire to nurjahan.
nurjahan was the real power behind jahangir throne.the court poets & historians of jahangir era foundly speak about jahangir & nurjahan lovestory.european historian said both jahangir nurjahan shared a very intimate relationship & were good companions.
sir thomas roe a english historian said once he was waiting for the king jahangir a news came turn on the lights the emperor is coming & the historian said he saw
Jahangir and Nur Jahan returning to the camp one night from a romantic bullock-cart ride all by themselves ... jahangir himself in his memories praised nurjahan & said '' no one is more founder of him then nurjahan'' jahangir also said he not shared his secrets with anyone but only nurjahan.
nurjahan made a perfume for his husband named the oil
itr-i-Jahangiri.
nurjahan use to sit with her husband or in jaroka during court proceedings.
nurjahan once commanded a army & rescued her husband jahangir from mahabat khan.
nurjahan was the first & only mughal queen her name is written on the mughal coins along with her husband name.actually her real name was mehrun nisa & nurjahan is title given by emperor jahangir.
nurjahan title is derived from emperor jahangir own name.
full name is
Nur-uddin Muhammdad Jahangir ...
Nur from
Nur-uddin &
Jahan from
Jahangir
here is a image of Nurjahan & Jahangir
1615.
it shows there love & closeness.
Akbar was not a lover boy like jehangir or shahjahan nor he is under the influence of any of his wife akbar loved his kingdom the most. Even his marriages with the Hindu Ladies was a part of his conciliation and consolidation policy thats why Akbar is considered as the great Mughal Emperor.
