Preeti, I had mentioned this on another thread that what makes our TE unique is his ability to get the good and learn from any sector - toh TM se seekhna will not change TM ka equation in his eyes - which is actually the equation of loyalty - but that fact that having recognised the Emperor TM went along shows TE that TM is a loyal subject who respects the reasons of his King even if may not understand them - this kind of loyalty is hard to come by and why TE is so very partial to his Ameri relatives!!!

Oh ho Another point to note - What has changed the Todar Mal equation in TE's eyes????

It is not the recounting of TM of having safely brought Humayun's begums back to Agra nor of Humayun giving the mohur as a thankyou to TM!!!

It is that fact that TM has recognised the Emperor and yet has not named him openly!!! This is TM giving his loyalty to his Emperor - This is so very symbolic!!! And TE has acknowledged this!!! That was the reason TE turned back for that last look before he left!!!

The voice over was indeed correct!!! This was a night of Change for TE!!!

Adi, Jalal (in the serial and the one Emperor himself) was an astute person, no doubt...because whatever said and done...astuteness is not something that can be taught ..the skill can be sharpened by experience..but one has to be ingrained with it!

If you notice - all the errors of judgements he's made or will make -will be due to an emotional blindfold he has that he uses as and when the issue is to do with a loved one. I am certain, he isn't totally unaware that MA is the epitome of purity just because of the white bedsheet she drapes herself in

***Lashy, if you remember, when Bhairam Khan was dead, there was a voice over which said that, Jalal was aware that MA has hands in this and to keep Salima and Rahim safe from them, he married her.

If you notice - all the errors of judgements he's made or will make -will be due to an emotional blindfold he has that he uses as and when the issue is to do with a loved one. I am certain, he isn't totally unaware that MA is the epitome of purity just because of the white bedsheet she drapes herself in. I am sure he is quite aware of Ruqaiyya's shortcomings. Yet, he puts up with them because HE CHOOSES TO. Similarly, he is not blind to Salima's genial nature or Jodha's inherent goodness and hence the partiality to the latter even during the times she was unkind to him.

The MC Kaand was a grieving father at his lowest!

The paralysis he went into during Tasneem was because of the sight of watching that 12 year old being wedded to a 60 year old - his self-flagellation was because he realized how Jodha must have felt entering this marriage unwillingly.

His paralysis during the Benazir track was due to the fact he simply couldn't come to terms with the fact that one woman he's fallen for doesn't love him and might never love him back.

It is these emotionally-driven moods and thus the decisions thereafter that are possibly his weakness. His sentiments and emotions are possibly the one 'beta' trait in this otherwise alpha Emperor and this is how I think it was with THE MAN too! That only makes him more 'human' if nothing else!

As for Todarmal -

Similarly, he could recognize the latent goodness in Todarmal from the very instant the horse-rider offered two strangers (who looked like they had nothing to pay) his house as shelter so they could remain safe from the dakus. The fact that Todarmal didn't permit Jalal the athithi to fight sealed his trust on the man! I am certain that very second would have done it for him.

At this point even if he came to know Todarmal Jee was the one responsible for Humayun's death - however angry - Jalal wouldn't have taken his life! He is a grateful and forgiving chap!

The soft spoken nature, the manner in which Todarmal fought the dakus and then presented the mohar while keeping the secret is all additional proof of his integrity, that's all!

Jalal-Todarmal make for the best chemistry as King-advisor - I deeply wish they dont' reduce this fellow to another Maan Singh! Such a waste of talent and possibility, if not!

Who can dispute jalal's occlumens?

I completely agree with and understand jalal's tolerance to ma's evil ruqaiya's shortcomings jodha's rudeness, his behaviour in mc khaand and his paralysis during ben track.

But I still don't agree with his stupidity during the tasneem track. He was aghast at the little girl being married to the 60 yr old man and tasneem being compelled and so made a law concerning marriage age. But what has it got to do with his declaring the law henceforth and applicable to him too in future. He looked extremely silly ordering mass divorces across the country and divorcing ruqaiya. No emotionally stressed man can be that senseless. Moreover what does age factor have to do with forced marriage? Both are two different issues. Again he has acquired many wives and concubines in war too. Certainly they would not all have been willing. Suddenly flaggellating himself for hurting jodha too didn't make sense there.

Tasneem track was the worst concieved and most illogically and awfully executed tracks so far. He should not have been shown so stupid after he retained his cool in the more emotionally challenging fake pregnancy track.

Benazir paralysis had the shove and his personal mental confusion as an excuse. Tasneem aimak-ness has none.

Wish there had been no tasneem track at all. Jodha could have written the thankyou letter to thank him for the fake pregnancy support.
