Jodhaa Akbar

[sri]

Actual History says Akbar's third wife was a Hindu.

She was ??? converted in ti Islam and named Mariam Zamani.



In this movie the director has tried to give maximum respect to that Rajput Lady.



The present day Rajputs know that the Hindu lady was later on got converted to Islam.



They dont want to give respect to a Lady who left their religeon actually.



This is the simple reason for the protest in Rajasthan and the film has not been screened there.



Anyway my salutes to the great director who created this historic movie.



Please read the original history





There is popular perception that Rajput wife of Akbar, mother of Jahangir, was known as "Jodha Bai".[2] However, Akbar's Rajput wife was never known as "Jodha Bai" during her lifetime.



The name of Akbar's wife was kept out of the Mughal records deliberately because the islamic clergy and the mughal populace could not come to terms with the future mughal emperor being the son of a Hindu women. In Tujuk-i-Jahangiri she is clearly referred as Mariam Zamani.[6] During the Mughal period, Akbar's Rajput wife was never known as "Jodha Bai". Neither the Akbarnama (a biography of Akbar commissioned by Akbar himself), nor any historical text from the period refer to her as Jodha Bai.[6] Tuzk-e-Jahangiri, the autobiography of Jahangir, doesn't mention Jodha Bai either.[2]



According to Professor Shirin Moosvi, a historian of Aligarh Muslim University, the name "Jodha Bai" was first used to refer to Akbar's wife in the 18th and 19th centuries in historical writings.[6] According to the historian Imtiaz Ahmad, the director of the Khuda Baksh Oriental Public Library in Patna, the name "Jodha" was used for Akbar's wife for the first time by Lieutenant-Colonel James Tod, in his book Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan. According to Ahmad, Tod was not a professinal historian and depended on folk literature of Rajputs.[5] According to the historian Lifaq Ali Khan, the name Jodha Bai seems to have become popular after the film Mughal-e-Azam.[6]



According to N R Farooqi, Jodha Bai was not the name of Akbar's Rajput queen; it was the name of Jahangir's Rajput wife, whose real name was Jagat Gosain. Jagat Gosain was referred to as "Jodha Bai" or "Jodhi Bibi", since she belonged to the royal family of Jodhpur.[2] Jodhi Bibi was the daughter of Udai Singh of Jodhpur, and a wife of Jahangir. She was the mother of Prince Khurram (later Shah Jahan).
