Infact, I was planning to write on Ruqu's shocked and raged facial expression when she heard about the extra tax being collected and who gave the permission etc. So I knew it was a joint venture between Maham & Ruqu while Adham and Sharif were involvwed with the merchants.
Exactly! I have wondered since Sikri track how come Jalal did not know of this Tirth Kar Rukayya did? She has known even before marriage of Jalal and Jodha. Also why would she know about a tax that has been in existence since before her birth?! Levied only on Hindus!
Also Jalal punished the soldiers not for charging the Tirth Kar but for asking double the amount. So actual Kar is different and what they are charging is different double the amount. Where did this amount go?
If like Abhay wrote which Mansi mentioned the amount earned from this tax was 1 million then that much amount charged double would have gone to somebody who was misusing this Tirth Kar! Huge amount and who would have the daring to do all this under Jalal's nose?!!!
