Mughals - JA(REAL) is not Fiction-Pt4 - Author/TM's note on Pg1 and 91 - Page 27

Sooo many thanks for the well clarification of historical characters..

Book List FOR RESEARCH...As you guys asked..
I mean what all we read and post HERE...


IMPORTANT...First i tell you please be wary of this book series:

A book series(5 parts) which is getting famous now is The Mughals by Alex Rutherford. That person has totally moulded history as per his convenience. So, even if you read, then KINDLY read it only for entertainment. Do not take it to be history. It is NON-SENSE.

Previously, i have written on that book.

Abhay another small Q
Is there anything in your research that suggests that Jalal-Mirza Hakim had good relations at the start and they were soured & Hakim turned against Jalal due to some reason

Lag raha hai yaha CVs is bat ka bill bhi Jodha ke nam pe phad dene vale hai - so asking

Maddy,
Nothing like this till now..😕..Re-quoting my previous comment..

They want to show that Jodha is ready🤢 to get Shivani married to hakim. Was Jodha not the one who was opposed to her marriage with jalal.?.They are trying to prove her stupid now. The same they did with jalal a few days back.
I agree later she got Man Bai marry Salim. But that was a different happier phase. She had the respect, a wife and a queen should have. Right now she is still not getting equal respect. How can they show this at this moment.?. This is just a torture for us & Jodha. Another MU in waiting. (tough days ahead.!.).

But, still i ll say i did not read anything like this TILL NOW .

Yes, i will try finding why Hakim was against Jalal. Any specific reason if any.(though i doubt.!.)
