We have seen in yesterday's episode that Jalal had given one BEHETEREEN SEEKH to his Waliaahad..😊
This was one of the best parts and a way of imparting lessons that Jalal could employ for his Sheiku Baba👏
Let us see firstly what happened--😃
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suddenly a daaku comes and puts a sword on Jodha, asking her to give away the jewellery.Jalal's soldiers fight with other robbers, Salim asks the robber to leave his mother.Jodha takes sword in her hand and ask robber to go from there, otherwise she will kill him.The man throws her sword away and puts sword on her neck,asking her to give away her jewellery.Salim takes the sword in his hand and attacks him on his hand and warns him to leave his mother, else he would kill him.The man says " SHABAASH SHEHZAADE !! ". Salim sees the blood and throws sword away.
The robber turns out to be Jalal himself and he takes the naqaab off from his face,much to their surprise. Jodha asks Shehehshah,the reason for putting forth this act.Jalal says that he wanted his son to raise his sword to protect his mother and he did that.He says that he wanted him to know the importance of SWORD for a king.He says that Salim very well knew that his AMMIJAAN was his responsibility that's why he raised sword for you.Tomorrow when nation will be his responsibility,then he will raise his sword to protect them.
Jalal asks Salim that yesterday a man lost his job(Rashid),then why did he not raise his voice?
"You are going to be king, your work is to give jobs not to snatch it, the way you protected your mother today, you have to protect your nation too, its your nation, all mothers are your mothers.The nation is your responsibility, I understand that Nadira must have done mistake but you could have stopped Badi Ammijaan! You didn't even think once that how will Rashid eat? How will he live with his family without job?A king cannot sleep if one person is hungry in nation, I am happy to know that you can protect your mother but you are not only a son but a heir, king doesn't raise sword to kill anyone but to protect his nation.You could have saved someone's job, Salim says I didn't throw her in pool, Jalal says you could have lied to save a job of a person, you are going to be the future king and you have to do everything to make people happy, always remember that you are a Mughal's heir,who never do anything that will embarrass our family.As a SULTANAT KA WALIAAHAD, you too have some responsibilities and please try to think in that way."
Jodha says Salim is very small to learn all this. Jalal says "I was more smaller than him,when I had learned all this things.This is the time to learn about king's responsibility."

The above incident and the incident of GHUNGROOS AND SWORD FIGHTING remind me of sessions and books that directly instruct kings or lesser rulers on certain aspects of rule and behaviour.
Now, this is something,which we call MIRRORS FOR PRINCES...Bachpan se hi, shehzaado ko aisi seekh diya jaata tha...
We do have such writings in form of stories,like
-- Vishnu Sharman, Panchatantra
-- Chanakya, Arthashastra
These books were often composed at or before the accession of a new king, when a young and inexperienced ruler was about to come to power.These were helpful teaching aids for the princes to become a better king,protector administrator..
Unless the princes have a strong foundation,they can't become legendary figures...who are the future Shehenshahs...the ZIL-E -ILAHI...😉
Please let me know your views guys...I would love to know them😊
