JODHA AKBAR VS BAJIRAO MASTANI
Someday ago in India a movie call bajirao mastani was relies.
Some of my friend says me
That …. That movie may be for another movie call jodha
akbar. Why they say it. Because in two movies some things are common like inter
cast marriage, true love like they are made for only each other, those hero
were fighter and captain of his group. And main things, if we look after Indian
history those heroes were enemy of each other. And really those movie were
really good in acting, good story script, visual effect etc.
Ok that’s all right. So I look after in my country history, Indian
history for real story of josh Akbar and bajirao mastani.
Let’s talk
about bajirao….
Bajirao was born August 18, 1700 into the Bhat family of
Marathi Chitpavan Brahmin lineage. His father Balaji Vishwanath was the first
Peshwa of Chhatrapati Shahu; his mother was Radhabai. Bajirao had a younger
brother Chimnaji Appa.
Bajirao would often accompany his father on military
campaigns. He was with his father when the latter was imprisoned by Damaji
Thorat before being released for a ransom. When Vishwanath died in 1720, Shahu
appointed the 20-year old Bajirao as the Peshwa. He is said to have preached
the ideal of Hindu Pad Padshahi (Hindu Empire).
He was really such good fighter and captain, by his good
understanding of war he never lose any of his war. Even when he died he wins
his last war.
Bajirao has two wife kashi bai and mastani who was
Chhatrasal's daughter and a warior. In real
life bajirao love his two wives, but mastani was his heart. So naturally he can
give enough time to his first wife kasha bai. Because of she is Muslim bajirao
has to suffer many things in his entire life. But he never breakup with her. Even
he loses his first wife for mastani. In this situation he was totally UN controlled.
His family was trying everything to separate them.
Bajirao died on 28 April 1740, at the age of 39. He died of
a sudden fever, possibly heat stroke, while inspecting his jagirs. At that
time, he was en route to Delhi with 100,000 troops under his command at his
camp in the district of Khargon, near the city of Indore.
I think in movie many
things are created, but overall the love story of bajirao and mastani was true.
Let’s talk
about Akbar…
Abu'l-Fath Jalal ud-din Muhammad Akbar, popularly known as
Akbar I (IPA: [əkbər], literally "the great"; 15 October 1542– 27
October 1605)and later Akbar the Great (Urdu: Akbar-e-Azam; literally
"Great the Great"),was Mughal Emperor from 1556 until his death. He
was the third and one of the greatest rulers of the Mughal Dynasty in India.
Akbar succeeded his father,
Mariam-uz-Zamani Begum, a title bestowed to Heer Kunwari
alias Hira Kunwari alias Harka Bai alias Jodha Bai, (October 1,1542 – May 19,
1623) was an Empress of the Mughal Empire. She was the first Chief Rajput wife
of Emperor Akbar (though Akbar already had two other Chief Mughal wives and
many other wives from different religions before and after his marriage to the
Rajput Princess Heer Kunwari), and the mother of the next Mughal Emperor,
Jahangir.She was also the grandmother of the following Mughal Emperor Shah
Jahan
Now I am
sorry to say Akbar has no real love of his life….
Belgian writer Dirk Collier has written a fictional autobiography of emperor Akbar, laced with facts, titled The Emperor's Writings. Written in the form of a letter to his Jahangir, it chronicles the life and times of the Mughal emperor. The author talks about being inspired by Akbar, the emperor's 5,000 wives and more!
Unlike other Great Mughal emperors (including Jahangir and
Shah Jahan), it seems Akbar was not a very romantic man. While he did sleep
with countless many women, particularly when he was still young, it seems he
had no real "love of his life". It is however well documented that
his cousin Salima Sultana, whom he married after Bairam Khan's death, was
clearly his favorite, in spite of the fact that she did not bear him any
children. She was highly influential, probably much more than Akbar's mother
was, and Akbar greatly valued her opinion. She appears to have been
intelligent, exceptionally well-read, and an accomplished poetess, but to my
knowledge, she has not left any published memoirs to posterity.
It is reported that no less than 5,000 women lived in
Akbar's palace, of whom, chroniclers hasten to reassure us, and “only” about
300 still a highly impressive number were his wives or concubines. It should be
remembered, though, that these unions were, above all, politically inspired:
many a local ruler was more than eager to send one of his daughters to the
imperial palace and thus establish a family link between himself and the
emperor.
It is also well documented, that the ladies in the imperial
palace were quite influential and active in society. Many mosques, madrasas and
other monuments of the Mughal era have in fact been commissioned by women! It
is also reported that the princess of Amber (Akbar's first Hindu wife and
Jahangir's mother) was a highly astute business woman, who ran an active
international trade in spices, silk, etc., and thus amassed a private fortune
which dwarfed the treasury of many a European king...
