The purdah, which had been cursory in the case of the Timurid women, who rode on horseback, participated in mixed gatherings at banquets and feasts, and travelled with their husbands and sons, had now suddenly become opaque. The name of Prince Murad’s mother was not noted and the celebrations following births were negligently narrated, formal and bloodless. So very rigorous would this vigilance be that there is only one record that clearly states that the mother of the much longed-for Mughal heir, Salim, was indeed Harkha Bai Kachhwaha.įor these women, there would be no intimate accounts of labours arrested by plain-faced midwives or compassionate recordings of a young girl’s mixed feelings towards her determined groom. For Akbar did not require these women to convert to Islam and they were allowed to fully participate in their Hindu rituals as they had in their own homes.Īnd yet, in an astounding sleight of hand, these women would disappear completely from the Mughal records, smoothed into impossible standards of purity and chastity, all individuality removed. When the Rajput brides entered the Mughal harem they brought with them their holy fires and their sparkling language, their busy gods, and their swaying clothes. At the same time Har Raj of Jaisalmer also submitted to Akbar and offered a daughter, Rajkumari Nathi Bai, as a wife for the Padshah while his son, Kuar Sultan Singh, was accepted as a nobleman at the Mughal court. Rao Kalyanmal then offered a daughter and two nieces, Raj Kanwar and Bhanumati, in marriage to Akbar. In November 1570, Rao Kalyanmal of Bikaner and his heir, Kuar Rai Singh, accepted Mughal overlordship and were brought into the Mughal fold. A daughter, Khanum Sultan, was born to Akbar and then in 1570, a second prince, Murad. In the harem at Agra, meanwhile, there was a flurry of further additions.

#HISTORY OF JODHA AKBAR IN HINDI BOOK MOVIE#
The best example of this pigeonholing was the movie Jodha Akbar, where Jodha, a Rajput princess, spoke in Sanskritised Hindi that one doesn't hear outside the confines of Doordarshan's newsroom, while Akbar speaks in chaste, Persianised Urdu that probably wasn't even developed during the real Akbar's reign. This practice permeates our popular culture, where it is only the bearded Maulvi Sahab (cleric) or the tawaif (courtesan) who speaks Urdu, and no sentence is complete without infinite numbers of Subhan Allahs and Masha Allahs thrown in. The biased narrative of the Hindi chauvinists and the lip service of the so-called secularists have ensured that Urdu and Indo-Islamic culture have been ghettoised to an extent that they have become caricatures. More than Pakistan, the question of Urdu is crucial to understanding the contestations surrounding identity and secularism in post-independent India. Thus, undertaking the task of narrating this journey is in itself an act of courage and Tariq Rehman does it wonderfully well. The history of Urdu is not just a story of linguistic evolution, but of the evolution of culture, of societies and of communities. Hardly any language in the subcontinent has a history as contested as that of Urdu. AFRICA, LATIN AMERICA, CARIBBEAN AND UN.Memorandum of Association: Rules and Regulations.
