Hi all,

Today is the 443rd Anniversary of Maharana Pratap's ascension to the throne of the kingdom of Mewar. He became the ruler of Mewar on 28th February 1572, after the demise of his father - Rana Udai Singh. To remember the day, i thought of making a post & describe that historic occasion.

I am listing the events which happened at a great pace on that day - 28th February 1572.

Hi all,

Historian Smith in his book on Akbar writes the following on Page-58, Edition of 1917, while mentioning Akbar's marriage with Princess of Amer, eldest daughter of Raja Bharmal -->>


"

Akbar's marriages with Hindu princesses, on the contrary, produced important effects both on his personal "rule of life" and on his "public policy".

His leanings towards Hinduism will be more conveniently discussed at a subsequent stage, and the effects of the Rajput matrimonial alliances on public affairs also will become more apparent as the story proceeds.

But at this point of the narrative so much may be said, that the marriage with the Amber princess secured the powerful support of her family throughout the reign, and offered a proof manifest to all the world that Akbar had decided to be the Padshah of his whole people" Hindus as well as Muhammadans.

Akbar did marry Jodha Bai, insists Zafar kin Hyderabad, Feb. 23: A descendant of the Mughal dynasty has asserted that Emperor Akbar had married the Rajput princess Jodha Bai. His comments gain significance in the wake of allegations by various groups that Ashutosh Gowarikar's film, Jodhaa-Akbar distorts history. According to Y. Ziauddin Tucy, 70, the great grandson of the last Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar, such allegations are false. Tucy, a fifth generation descendent of Bahadur Shah Zafar, treasures a painting of Akbar and Jodha Bai at his rented house in Chanchalguda in the city. "This painting was done after their nikaah," he told this correspondent. "The text in Persian gives details about Akbar, including the day and time of his birth according to the Hijri calendar. At the time it was painted, the Emperor was 51 years, two months and 11 days old." The footnotes on the painting say Akbar was coronated at Amarkot in Lahore in Hijri 963. "Such paintings of a Mughal couple were made only after their nikaah was solemnised," said Tucy. "Some people even falsely claim that Jodha Bai was Emperor Akbar's daughter-in-law." Tucy has retained hundreds of such paintings passed on to him by his ancestors. According to him, after her nikaah with Akbar, Jodha Bai, a Rajput, was renamed Maryam Zamani Begum. "People who are unaware of facts distort history," he said. "Emperor Moinuddin Mohammad Akbar Shah, father of Bahadur Shah Zafar, also married a Rajput woman, Kaiyu Bai, who was given the title of Taj Mahal Begum." Tucy also has a painting of Moinuddin Mohammad Akbar Shah and Taj Mahal Begum. "I do not understand why some sections want to deny the nikaah of Emperor Akbar and Jodha Bai," he said. "Even Aurangzeb got married to a Maharani." He pointed out that there had been no continuity in the recording of Indian history. "Between the first war of Independence in 1857 and 1947, historians put away their pens and stopped writing about the Mughal dynasty," he said. "This, despite the fact that Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar was among those who led the first war of Independence." Tucy, however, is yet to see Jodhaa Akbar that is facing a ban in some states.
