Ok, now I am back to the beginning of the episode where Jalal met his mother who blasted him for his behavior and also said if he were looking down and not meeting her eyes, then he himself is pretty sure that whatever he is doing is not right. And she also said you are not just a ruler, but also a father to be and you have your responsibility towards your kids and their mother. Guys, Jalal neither disowned his mother's words about him feeling guilty nor he said anything about Jodha and their kids. All he said is, he has decided the course of action and it will happen as per his plan. Further he said, he would like to see how far these Maulvis go ... He didn't say against him or against the rule. So he know very well there are some maulvis involved in all this act of Atifa and only with their support, she and her team is acting. He also has planned to bring out all those rodents in Agra and in his sultanate who are waiting for his downfall and also scheming with his enemies.
He also wanted to see the real face of all his near and dear ones including his mother and wives, how they behave in this situation, will they be the same as they were in earlier cases where their position was intact and now with the changed situation, if he has to lose his throne and power, what will they do? Will they oppose him to get married to Atifa just for the reason they will lose their position and comforts or will they think of his welfare while opposing or will they support him in his marriage thinking that husband is the final god and a wife's duty is to follow him in all his footsteps. Or will they try to talk to his praja and others to convince them in his favour.
His mother opposed his decision for the sake that he is committing a sin by opting to marry an already married woman whose husband is still alive and asking for her company. This is against sultanate law and as a law maker, her son should not break the law and as a father to be it will be wrong example to his unborn kids and also if he loses his position, he not only responsible for the hardship of his numerous wives but also responsible for the nomadic condition for his unborn kids who are suppose get a royal upbringing. She must be worried about the way Jalal hated her and his father for leaving him alone while they were nomads during his childhood and how he misses those moments even today. She doesn't which to see the same hatred for her son in her grand children's eyes. She was devasted as he is causing them the loss of good future.
His prime Begum opposed it and for a moment he was happy as she never did that earlier and in Ben case, she took the initiative to get her married to him and also convinced him. But alas, his nightmare won and she started her talks that this marriage will cost him his throne and if he loses his sultanate what will happen to his wives and their positions? He will get his new wife and new found love but what about others? Why should they suffer for his pleasure? In most of the cases, they do not have a place to return,(maika) and where will they go and how will they live as commoners when their own husband is ready to discord them along with his position? Who will take care of them and what is the guaranty that some miscreants will not trouble them and ask them to be with them or misbehave with them? But guys, even though she spoke for her, it was the voice of many who doesn't have the voice to speak in front of their mighty husband. If their husband can marry someone else's wife, how will he stop others from eyeing his own wives or is he ready for that also?
Coming Salima, the most intellectual wife and poised one, talked about his people will hate him and that is not good for a ruler. Though he liked her concern for him, it sounded more like she cared for his position as ruler and not as Jalal and true to be, if he had married her to give shelter to her and her son, then he should stay as a king otherwise whoever were to harm her and her child will not lose this opportunity where their supporter has lost his own ground and the roof is falling on his own head. So she had to think of her son's future.
Then came the most expected and firework. And true to his belief, she didn't talk about his promises to her about love, respect, kids their life after death etc. which any normal wife or queen would have spoken. Here came the true queen who talked about the hardship his praja has to undergo due to his ONE WRONG DECISION. She said, you were the one who married me not out of love but to establish peace among the citizens of both the states. And now with your other step, the hell will fall on them in the form of enemy attack. What do you think that your marriage is only your personal matter? NO, it involves the entire sultanate and because of your illogical step, all your enemies will attack them and havoc the country side and thousands of people will lose their life and livelihood. Why can't he think straight and see the devastating result of his one wrong decision. When he could not answer back to her as every word uttered by her was true to the core, he chose the other root to attack her with allegation that since she disobeyed him in public, she lost all her rights to advise him and he choose not to hear and implement her words. Guys here he didn't bark at her that he will do whatever he wants or whatever she said were wrong. All he said is he choose to ignore her suggestions without giving any merits as no longer is in his prime league. With those words, he chose to leave the spot fearing he may lose his mask even if he stays a moment lanater but what did we miss??????????? Jodha jolted while he was hurrying away and held a vase to support her to stand still but we could not see anything beyond that and I think that was the moment Jalal would have controlled her and comforted her. I think so but what about you???????
