I am NOT going to write about history or what happened at Chittor war - I should leave that to knowledgeable about the subject. I am only seeing JA Jodha Jalal.
I only saw Jodha - she who has decency and humanity - does no want innocent blood to be shed and who was so proud that her marriage to Jalal had brought Hindus and Muslims together. Jalal who had turned into compassionate Akbar treating his awam equally.
Jalal is going on a war to challenge the Almighty it seems. Cos when he set out he challenged God saying when his twins passed away HE must have laughed but now he is going to kill HIS innocent children and laugh at their death. It is Jalal who has achieved this power on his own not given by the Almighty and he is going to use it cos it is a jungle and only the strong rule lions rule.
I wonder why Jalal thinks HIS Almighty's innocent children are Rajvanshis?????????????? There is no logic
So HIS RELATIVE a Mughal killed his twins but Jalal is going to make Rajvanshis pay for it by shedding their blood. I don't understand what kind of logic CVs are trying to show to justify Akbar in this war. The Mughal most responsible for killing the twins (after Zeenat) - Ruk has got away scot free!
I just felt that after shedding so much blood if he repents and comes to his senses - again JA Jalal - it is no comfort to those who lost their lives or their loves ones.
THIS Jalal SHOULD NOT BE REWARDED for this by showing Jodha pregnant with Salim. It will be the biggest travesty CVs will show if after repenting and accepting the Almighty as most powerful he is rewarded with a waris. It feels repulsive logic.
Jodha told Bharmal even if Mughals win or Rajvanshis win in both ways it will be they who will be losers. Bharmal had no answer to this. Jodha asked him if he can shed Rajvanshi blood - he walked away without answering her. Jalal asked Bharmal to stay back to protect Agra in his absence.
Jodha saw Rajvanshi women do tilak to their husbands and give them their jewelry. I do not know this custom maybe cos if they don't return alive they won't need jewelry.
Jodha collects all her jewelry her money and tells Bharmal to take it with him to war and donate it to families of soldiers killed injured from both sides Mughals and Rajvanshis. He is not going to war so she can't send it and is sad.
HB and SB understand Jodha's pain.
Precap - Jodha is crying seeing red sky and telling Moti she feels it is the sanket of the blood Jalal has shed. Jalal is walking around with hatred on his face amongst enemy bodies.
I don't want to see Jodha pardon Jalal - not for dumping all blame on her like a coward. Will he be able to meet her eyes after shedding blood of Rajvanshis?
Like Jodha said it is she who will lose whoever wins or loses - Just like it is Jodha ONLY who lost when her twins lost their lives cos she is left with the blame - while Jalal the coward refused to accept his part of blame.
My heart only goes to Jodha - rest all I don't care.
A sincere request - please do not try to justify this Chittor war of Akbar's pov or why he fought it on this thread. I have no knowledge of history enough to reply and I know this subject is very sensitive one so better to stick to JA.
PS : I was completely busy today so did not get chance to reply to yesterday's thread posts. Read from mobile and thank you all for lovely thought and lot of venting and some positive voices
