Are we as a society trained to always blame women? - Page 2

You can't expect Jalal to puppy around Jodha forever.

Jodha has a way of hitting him worst that neither ruks nor any other begum do. Hence he treats her with disrespect at times. (If you remember she was the one to give him a dhakka. Even Salima obliged in ruks mc track). Also Jodha is the one who can risk her life without second thoughts. So he treats her like a precious jewel too.

After ben and atifa there WILL be other women. Who told you that Jalal was a one woman man. Neither was Bharmal Man Singh or any other king in those days.

Being a woman myself i dont agree to this post . Ya what jalaal is doing to jodha during pregnancy is wrong but is she standing up to her rights n fighting for it ? Shes not asking shehanshah how ur love faded for me what happenned nothing? Nope shes contemplating suicide which shows her weakness.

N u hv given n example that Jalaal wud nvr forgive jodha like in sujamal track. But in Khyber issue he has forgiven her she erred big time as a wife n Queen m not saying abt following patis orders but she got difference of opinion betn husband n wife in front f all d ppl n made akbar pardon khybers Death sentence. She erred as a queen by letting Khyber go scot free even after he had killed so many soldiers. Although her intentions wrt khyber were gud but she is responsible for killing so many ppl n soldiers n destruction of houses f poor ppl. Then Jalaal didnt fall for billage gossip that Jodha slept wid paraya mard n ran away hand in hand wid paraya mard.

Having said all of tht she too is a human being n she too will hv flaws n she too will b blamed for those flaws n its not that society is like this or that its just how we take circumstances that life presents before us n how we react to it . If someones wrong then they r wrong.

This show is n should not represent present day society of equal right ...if we are talking about equal right how can a 16 th century society give equal right to man and his many wifes... This man is none other than shahansha ... If we can say how can jodh forgive him after atifa issue then how his other wife's forgiving him after his every marriage ... Here issue is atifa is married ... And who is jodha ... She is the one who is keep dishonor ing and disobeying emperor in public... If we assume she has equal rights as wife but definitely not she has equal rights as queen ... She is not co ruler ... Here in USA we are enjoying some time more rights as wife and as women ...but do society forgive Obama if Michael Obama overruled his order as president ... No na... So think realistically ...this story is about 16th century emperor And his one wife among many to whome he loves most... But it doesn't mean he has nothing to do except loving her and she can do any thing because emperor loves her...

i think lots of young girls of today's time and age do not find this acceptable but we are talking of an era where the kings were ruthless and women were just a play toy for them..they used it and went on to the mext one because it was an era of polygamy and men had the liberty to do it..this is the era when shah jahan amputated the hands of the workers and blinded their eyes after making taj mahal so that they cannot make another one..not only that even the britishers did the same to indian workers..and look at the slavery system how the blacks were treated and there was a film made on it but cannot remember the name..now why a handful of rulers gained the khitaab of being great was because of their humanity..and akbar was one of them..he had many women and i am sure the wives especially the main wives must have been ok with it but this is a show they will dramatize it to gain trps..all i can say is bless your stars u do not belong to that era..women fought for their rights and lots of changes were made in the laws to be where they are today!

Are you seriously comparing infidelity with having a difference of opinion? Is that same in your eyes? So just because Jodha disagreed with Jalal he has the right to disrespect his wife and pant after another man's wife? Is being a doormat a guaranty of a husband's faithfulness? Ruk says yes to every one of Jalal's decision. Why is he unfaithful to her?

And you just proved my post. To justify Jalal's action, you blamed Jodha and counted her faults. So I guess we are indeed trained to always blame the woman.
