and also one of my friends ela mentioned about jo's greatness of being in an atmosphere which was very different and still making her mark as a queen..and to that i would like to say what if Akbar was not Akbar and he was aurengzeb then what would have she gone through..she would have been in a worst situation but it was him being a secular leader made her life easy which would have been unbearable otherwise!
i will quote some beautiful lines written by my friends in praise of this great leader..
"He sees the whole of the Hindustan that he wishes to unite under his rule, not by brute force,but thru willing acceptance. Na ki shamsheer ki dhar se, par rishton ke reshmi dhagon me piroke.To win the heart of this Hindustan, he knows now what he has to do. For them to accept him, he has first to accept them. ..by shyamala.
His greatness can withstand and overcome any slander from any biased group and any silly portrayal by any tv show...by sandhya!
Mandy, interestingly 4 of his navratnas were hindus - that shows his ability to create comfort zones not only for himself but also for others where the common thread was the ability to look with different povs and accept differences and appreciate other povs and their differences - it was by creating a space where no one had to fear being different would be a reason for persecution or ridicule that Akbar managed to create - which is missing today - we can see for ourselves how a different perspective is not only ridiculed but is also pushed off the radar !!!...by adi!
..and again i would say what i said in my last post that i would like to see his reforms and wars and various other achievements untouched, as they were in history and if ekta cannot show them properly then she should just stick to sbs and let us decide whether we want to watch it or skip it!
