Hi :) Do you feel Abhay is referring to the leap? 😊
He really believes that there will be no real long-term leap right now.
Actually, right now, the Mughal Sultanat is in a state of transition. The Old Guard is giving way to the New Order. 😊
We saw Atga Khan dying today. Tomorrow, going by the precap, Jalal finishes off Adham Khan.
Forty days after this, Maham should go.
Atga and Maham - they were with Humayun and later with Jalal. They saw Jalal being born and growing up in front of their eyes and becoming an emperor at the tender age of 13. They have been with him since his father died.
Maham became overambitious and turned disloyal to Jalal. But Atga maintained his loyalty to Jalal right till the end. It is mentioned somewhere that Atga had once saved the life of Humayun also.
Once these people go, they will be replaced by the likes of Aziz Koka, Man Singh, etc -- the "Young Turks" brigade (not to be confused with Turkish people). We are already witnessing Man Singh come into his own. There was one more Rajvanshi with Man Singh and Munim Khan today. Seems someone who is going to be important soon.
This period and the next few years were full of political conspiracies against Jalal within and outside the court. There were wars and rebellions. The people in the court changed from only Mughal to people from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. It was a highly eventful albeit turbulent period in the life of Jalal. Esp as Jalal was now without the crutches of Maham or Atga.
This period marked the end of the Petticoat Government and the Rise and Rise of Akbar and the Mughal Sultanat.
During this time, the one person who emerged as the rock in Akbar's life and supported him at all times and under all circumstances was Jodha. She became his emotional anchor, his Wali Ni'maat. 😊
This is the start of not only the journey of Akbar the Great but also the journey of Jodha-Akbar towards eternal and abiding love.
They withstood many storms together - both political and personal (the loss of their kids) - and emerged as one soul in two bodies. Now on, we don't need leaps. 😊The real history itself is so exciting and eventful that all tracks now on should be exceptionally thrilling and enticing.
