Today when Jalal was sitting in DEK and telling dialogues of love one of my neighb told me something that made me thinking. They said Akbar forgave Shivani because she was Jodha's sister and would not forgive if she was some other begum's sister.
Was jalal wrong in accusing Jodha of bewafai when he found a gair mard in her room?
Many will say yes, but i would like to say no. He did that because he loved her intensely. If Jalal had found a gair mard in Salima's room or even may be Ruqaiah's he would not have reacted as badly as he reacted to Jodha because he does not love them that much. With Ruqu he would be shocked as she is his childhood friend but he would not have reacted so voilently. With Salim he would not even bother and would have married her off to that gair mard. He reacted like that to Jodha because he loves her so much.
Was Jodha wrong in getting so angry?
Yes, she is right because no matter what she felt Jalal will trust her. Its like this if someone comes and tells anything against anyone to their family they will not trust even with proof if they love them to death. All of us expect the same from our parents, sibling, spouse and kids and even best friends. That is what jodha expected
Is Ruqaiah wrong in feeling jealous on Jodha?
No, she is right in being jealous.
Let me give an example: I have dogs at home. If i ask handshake from one the others immediately come and start handing me hand shakes immediately even if i do not ask. Is that jealousy? Yes but its also insecurity and unconditional love. That dog wants me to shower it with same attention and love as other dog.
Same is case of a family member. We want our father, mother, husband, wife, son, daughter, dadaji, dadima to shower us same amount of love as our other siblings(in this case wives)
Its Akbar's fault he should balance his act like a parent does with all his kids. Even among parents there is a favourite child but showing favouratism will destory family unity, siblings become deadly rivals, wars are fought like mahabharat, carnages like aurangzeb did to his siblings happen because of favouratism towards one child by parent. Majority wars are fought because one party feels the one in authority favoured another person unjustly which is majority times true also. The mess in Akbar's family among his wife is his own doing by favouratism towards one wife and her family members.
Why Akbar is so partial towards one wife and her family members while maintaining his law for others?
Also about Akbar's love lessons where they disappeared when it came to his own children? Like when Salim loved his childhood friend Nur Jahan or wanted to marry Sahib Jamal Akbar's milk brother's neice why oppose and not allow?? Or when Daniyal married a sati widow???
I am not saying only Akbar has dual standards. All of us are the same. When it comes to outsider we easily forgive but for own family do not forgive and set high standards for them. Today i am all for Shivani marrying Tejwant but if my sibling/child will do same some day i will not accept??? So its always double standards one for our family one for outsiders???
So do you think that Akbar would forgive if she was another begum's sister and give Tejwant a job???
