And, my sources come from variety of places..
I do not keep these books with ME..!!..

This books was also told me by a friend that only one original translation is available for this.!
Though i did not read this...But, got to know about this book from her..!!..

See this also..

About this i was told by my fellow friend who keeps travelling for these researches...!!!.


2.
All those books which i mentioned here are very rare...!!..I can't scan them(not allowed)..!!😕..I mean officially not allowed..😉

There is something called Canada State Archives. And it is said that it also contains some sources.I don't know if you will get records for Jodha there but Akbar is possible...!!..I dont know how much true it is...But try to find if there is something like this..!..


There is one member in US or UK, i forgot...She used to PM me earlier and asked me some doubts related to Jodha. So if she could get sources there. I feel you will be able to get SOME of them at your place...!!!...😊...Give it a try..!!..

It is a pity that the Govt. doesn't permit scanning or photographing these precious records.Confused Such strong proofs would showcase the story in an entire new light. It could reach out to a larger audience through media.
In today's world, it is a sad truth that the net becomes the immediate source of info for everyone, and there is a tendency to believe what is seen on the web pages.
Had I not entered the forum, I would have pooh-poohed the entire romantic story as fiction. The various posts and opinions here have compelled me to reconsider. 🤓
But what about the other non-believers? It is really sad that in today's world that is considered to be small, information is so channelled, distorted and the truth is so near, yet very far. Red-tapism and narrow-mindedness still plague our 'modern' society.😭
