Nice post Radhika
Few points -
Chittor Massacre is considered a lack spot Ibu historians, but it is an example of Akbar's Great War strategy mastermind. It was a tough war and he won it with resounding success. I had written abt this earlier that this war could have been used by CVs to show us Akbar as the Great War strategist. After all Akbar is called Great coz of the expansions that he did to the Mughal sultanate, and he did fight some brilliant wars
You are right about the saintification of Jodha. I had written abt this too earlier that Jodha, the fiery princess has almost disappeared. She just accepts everything that everyone says to her, she seems to be apologising continuously for no fault of hers. Sheba been reduced to being a DOORMAT
RUKS on the other hand seems to be getting away with anything and everything. Jalal seems to turn into jelly when he speaks with her and she is able to squash him with ease. And what's more she even enjoys it
I have not yet stopped seeing the show, but Kam sure the day is not far. There seems to be no substance left. Just some riff-raff
