A very happening chapter Lashy.👍🏼

And one that brings out human frailties under stress.

In a nutshell...

The Maharaja and Maharani of Bansi and the Shehzade, both failed to keep up their trust in their favourites. Both of them have allowed themselves to be influenced by someone whom they do not trust wholly. All for their personal reasons.

Yes!

Shehzade for his political interests and the Bansi Royals for their political and social interests. What is such love that fails the test of trust and what is such respect that is overshadowed by ambition? The Bansi Royals have turned away a daughter who loved them whole heartedly and the Shehzaade has risked the unwavering dedication of his most sincere loyal.

Lashy Sahiba.. how much more pain will you inflict on my poor Heera?😡 😡I felt miserable for her when she was forced to leave what was almost another home to her with remnants of wounded pride and a broken heart, that too just days after she had to flee her own home and lose a sister who was her friend mother and guide. And now in a matter of just a few more days, you have turned her out of the only home left with a shattered pride, guilt, social stigma, ignominy and humiliation?😡😡

Even lightning doesn't strike the same place twice. But this girl is forced to leave her home again and again with added pain and mortification.😭 I dread to think the state of her heart when she now learns UAMK's truth.😲

And now returning to Parnagarh is her only choice and the reason she fled, Khalil and his threat still looms at large and stronger now. ( How could the Bansi Royals overlook this fact and send her back to danger. This is similar to honor killing.😡)

All because of that wretched depraved evil swine who sold out Durga the first time to Khalil and played foul this time. Because he couldn't have his way with his vicious plans because of Heera, he chose to hit her below the belt.😡😡 May he rot in hell after being crucified on earth.😈

AMK will now find that the Shehzade for whom he chose to overlook his heart, has chosen to overlook his loyalty. No Ustaad Sir. Politics and Ethics are Strangers. You should have known that.

The story is poised in an interesting way here with n numberof possibilities which made the chapter all the more intriguing.

Just a few koschuns...

1. If Shehzade obtains Parnagarh by force, what is the value of the farmaan???

2. Even if he acquires Parnagarh, wouldn't it legally belong to the State, the Sultanate and thus to the Shahenshah??? How would he benefit from it??

3. Because a few Hindu Kingdoms much smaller than the Mughal forces have withdrawn support from Parnagarh, the Shehzade thinks that it would be fitting to attack now? Weren't a section of the Mughal durbar members instrumental in insisting on the farmaan before any course of action was sorted to. Wouldn't they insist the same even now??

4.If taking Parnagarh by force was okay with the Shehzade, then didManswar Bansi and a few kingdoms matter earlier considering the wealth Parnagarh could get him.

5. Why did Shehzade order Khalil to eliminate Heera? Wouldn't her presence keep the Hindu Kingdoms away from Parnagarh as it was she who antagonized hem all?

Where'sLashy? She has to answer this!

How beautifully you've put it dear... 🤗

The Maharaja and Maharani of Bansi and the Shehzade, both failed to keep up their trust in their favourites. Both of them have allowed themselves to be influenced by someone whom they do not trust wholly.

Truth be told, the Maharaja and Maharani of Bansi were prepared to hear Heera out... they didn't allow themselves to be influenced by Mahendar... but the fact that Heera couldn't effectively continue to deny all of the allegations meant that they knew she was not entirely right...

All for their personal reasons. Shehzade for his political interests and the Bansi Royals for their political and social interests. What is such love that fails the test of trust and what is such respect that is overshadowed by ambition? The Bansi Royals have turned away a daughter who loved them whole heartedly and the Shehzaade has risked the unwavering dedication of his most sincere loyal.

Very beautifully put dear... and it is true... the 'need' to be accepted by society for many people, far overpowers the want to put up with someone's failings... (in this case it's love)

and politics is pure power-play - that's all!

Lashy Sahiba.. how much more pain will you inflict on my poor Heera?😡 😡I felt miserable for her when she was forced to leave what was almost another home to her with remnants of wounded pride and a broken heart, that too just days after she had to flee her own home and lose a sister who was her friend mother and guide.

Finished thittufying me?

Oh not yet...

And now returning to Parnagarh is her only choice and the reason she fled, Khalil and his threat still looms at large and stronger now. ( How could the Bansi Royals overlook this fact and send her back to danger. This is similar to honor killing.😡)

Yes it is... that is what is disowning...

Had it been a typical powerful Rajput family, they would have locked her up, forced her to marry the next oldie as 3rd of 4th wife (since young men would never accept a tainted girl) sniffed out the supposed Mughal man who'd brought this to their daughter and have him killed...

At least here they've let her go and let fate decide what's meant to happen to her..

I am not saying this is not cruel... just there in that era (and even in this) the decisions of some such traditionalist parents can be far crueller!

All because of that wretched depraved evil swine who sold out Durga the first time to Khalil and played foul this time. Because he couldn't have his way with his vicious plans because of Heera, he chose to hit her below the belt.😡😡 May he rot in hell after being crucified on earth.😈

😆 I have NEVER seen you this angry.. use these many gaaliyaan for ANYONE Sandy!

AMK will now find that the Shehzade for whom he chose to overlook his heart, has chosen to overlook his loyalty. No Ustaad Sir. Politics and Ethics are Strangers. You should have known that.

😭 Yes!

The story is poised in an interesting way here with n numberof possibilities which made the chapter all the more intriguing.

Thanks da... and now comes viva voce!😆

Just a few koschuns...

1. If Shehzade obtains Parnagarh by force, what is the value of the farmaan???

No doubt, the value of the Farmaan is reduced... (Shreya sp108 asked me this as well) But and a big but... if the Farmaan is still out there... and 10 years down the line, someone close to Mansabdar Jagat Prasad Singh stepped forth with the document and said 'Here I still have the document maybe some of these iron ores are mine!'

Not nice, is it? That's why it's better to tie loose ends.

Besides, knowing the Shehzaade (like many other Narcissistic aristocrats) when they set their eyes on something, they WANT it! Parnagarh has become one such thing - and the Farmaan the most important document pertaining to it... so, it's value while diminished, is not eradicated in the eyes of the prince.

2. Even if he acquires Parnagarh, wouldn't it legally belong to the State, the Sultanate and thus to the Shahenshah??? How would he benefit from it??

Yes a part of the trade/business/taxes go to the Sultanate... but the person responsible for bringing in the deal always benefits just as much if not more! Happens in politics today too...For e.g. politician helps businessman - sweet deals are made - businessman and his contacts will support politician (votes/in court etc)

Similarly, Shehzaade would put HIS contacts, his supporters/businessmen in the trade of iron ores... eventually, he plans to ascend the throne na... who will all this benefit?

Besides, this is another way how the royal family operates too... princes (based on their military/governance abilities) were allocated/made in charge of different provinces... so they governed the place... all taxes went to royal treasury, but the princes reaped the remaining benefits of the provinces they governed... besides, based on every advancement they made, they were rewarded by the Emperor handsomely (with titles/positions/more provinces etc).

3. If taking Parnagarh by force was okay with the Shehzade, then did Manswar Bansi and a few kingdoms matter earlier considering the wealth Parnagarh could get him. Because a few Hindu Kingdoms much smaller than the Mughal forces have withdrawn support from Parnagarh, the Shehzade thinks that it would be fitting to attack now?

Why not? What if Parngarh starts gaining favour again? What if Heera ends up making a pact with some other powerful kingdom? Before that, it's better to strike now - when the iron is hot na...

And as for the kingdoms like Manswar/Bansi mattering, it's not about the size/power of kingdoms alone - but the fact that they are Hindus... the largest population in India. [The Mughal Empire might have been powerful and the Rajput kingdoms just puppets by the time the Empire was at it's zenith - but still, the greatest Mughal rulers couldn't overlook the overall numbers of the Hindu population... and the minute they went against them (like Aurangazeb did) he brought the downfall of an entire revolutionary empire...]

Here too, that is why Shehzaade was trying to try the 'legal' route and all other venues - keeping violence as a last resort (he didn't want to disturb Hindu kingdoms/population). He had many meetings at court to sway everyone in his favour, used the Mansabdars had to return their lands after death clause etc. But then came the Farmaan... that too, he went after...

But now that Manswar backtracking - it automatically means their subjects backtrack - then, to keep up political relations, other Rajput allies backtrack - their Hindu subjects backtrack... it's a domino effect and by the end, we're talking of large numbers of Hindus not supporting Parnagarh...

Basically, when a handful of powerful members of one community step away... all others become mute spectators... whether they agree with what's happening or not! They don't want to get into all this jhanjhat, when even daily existence is a struggle for them! So, who is going to stick up for Parnagarh now?

4. Weren't a section of the Mughal durbar members instrumental in insisting on the farmaan before any course of action was sorted to. Wouldn't they insist the same even now??

Yes they would... and they were shivering in their dhotis even then! Basically, except for a handful of 'just' people, most of those courtiers' basic point was that they feared Hindu backlash... and they didn't like this power-hungry Shehzaade... He tried appeasing them till his patience was there... but now it's run out... the fear of Hindu-backlash is diminishing too...

Once he gets more power in court, he'll have those nobles converted as his bhakths or get rid of them and put his own nobles in place...

5. Why did Shehzade order Khalil to eliminate Heera? Wouldn't her presence keep the Hindu Kingdoms away from Parnagarh as it was she who antagonized them all?

Because he fears Heera might not sit quiet... she would do something to get back in everyone's favour... better do away with her when she is being disliked - she wouldn't be missed much that way! I doubt any of the Hindu kingdoms at this point, would put their own soldiers at risk and want to step up for the sake of 400 families and go against the Shehzade!

At the max, Bansi has offered shelter for the uprooted Parnagarhis that's all.. that's what happens na.

Akanksha... what a beautiful and an encouraging review dear 🤗

As many people have already said, this was the most emotional chapter so far.both of our leads have endured so many hardships that too almost on their own. The battle for the right has never been easy for anyone. But it would be so difficult, that she will lose all her relatives one by one, I never knew.

This read like poetry to me... esp the underlined...

But only when they have gone through the worst, that the coming times ahead would be sweetest.

Again, poetry! 👏

Heera, who had been dragged in this dirty game of politics had already lost her sister, now also lost her godparents. Other kingdoms and supporters of parnagarh are also gone. Her honour Is also tarnished. Heera who has almost lost her everything, is now homeless. But I hope that she will rise from ashes.
>> we are all hoping!

Khalil is a devil who has proved himself to be an opportunist. He had swayed shehzade in his favor and made use of news he had got.

Yes he has.. that's how he has risen in power, na?

Shehzade is very interesting character. As you have explained somewhere that shehzade is obsessed with parnagarh. It has become his "zidd" to possess parnagarh. It was so typical of aurangzeb. Just like the way he was obsessed with maratha kingdom that brought his own end. You have really etched him well.

Thank you so so much for this Akanksha... it brought a smile to my face

I so hate mahinder. The cunning prince of manswar has gone from the scene. But it is his doing that heera is suffering so much . She has fallen from her parent's eyes and may be her people's too because of him. He has left behind a storm in her life.

You are right... he left behind a trail of destruction!

The king and queen of Bansi have disowned her and left her to fight her battles by own.
And as they were accusing her, I wanted to scream and tell them, it is not a crime to love. I know the times were different then, but still it is difficult to digest.

I hate honour killing and this kind of narrow-minded behaviour... which is why you'd have seen that theme in my earlier work too.. and here too!

I really wanted to know what heera does next? Since you have portrayed her so strong, I wish she would still do something on her own for herself and her people.

Let's see!

Now coming to the last and most charming part, Akbar's grand entry.

☺️

There are very few people in history who are not royals, but yet they command respect and somehow surpass their king/prince in fame with their sheer presence and hardwork. Akbar is one such amazing character. The hold he has on shehzade's army is really great.
My God.. like Akbar's entry is your exit.. dhamaakedhaar! Amazing.. and thank you for reinstalling some faith in me.. 🤗

Thank you for the amazing story and please update soon.

love you dear 🤗
