Arre, but protest isn't on Jodha-Akbar being married. They know he had a Rajput Princess. They are protesting cuz -
1. Name - Jodha. They feel the woman named Jodha was Jahangir's wife and the makers are committing blasphemy by connecting her father in law (Akbar) romantically to her. They think history is inconclusive on the name of Akbar's Rajput wife. As many know, her name varies between Heer Kunwar, Harkha Bai etc.
2. They are jobless. It's a great timepass for them, I suppose, to have something to protest about and harp on their "shaan" getting demolished by Ekta. Damn, their ancestors were mighty warriors! What would they think about their descendants protesting over a stupid show when the whole country is in disrepair?
3. MIGHT be Ekta's gimmick to promote her dream project. Maybe it isn't taking off like its supposed to cuz of the dragging storyline. People are impatient for AkDha and all they have seen are politics. Indian tv audiences don't have so much of patience. They will probably come back once the real story starts.
