As usual very excellent post. Two important things that drew me to both episode and your post no doubt is Jodhas changing loyalty and Jalal the master strategist..
As he has said earlier in an episode Shatranj kabhi kabhi Jasbathon ke sath khele jathe hai...he is really trying to decipher the minds of both jodha and ruquaiyya... Jalal may not be the champion of mohron ka shathranj but he is undoubtedly a master of Jasbathon ka shatranj...I agree with you mansi that jalal does not really want Jodha to carry on the resposnsibility of harem after Winning!!! the elections. This shows that he believes Jodha is in love with him and ruquaiyya is not. Time and again we have seen Jalal telling ruqaiyya you should be jeolous of other begums ,if not as a friend but as a begum..i think that was to actually push ruqaiyya into introspecting herself why she does not feel jeolousy...but ruqaiyya sitting on her high horse cannot really understand Jalals mind , inturn losing him to the woman whom she thought she had the least competition from..But again she is showing jealousy now, unfortuantely it stems from the fear and insecurity of losing her audha and not beause she loves jalal and fears losing him as a man ,a husband. Even yesterdays episode clearly shows jalal is trying to make ruquiayya understand herself, to be clear what is she fearing losing by playing this dirty game and lying to him above it. We should appreciate Maham anga cos she is the brilliant in the lot who can think about heart from her mind. Am sure maham was not a part of kanha murthy case yet when she was blaming Jodha she clearly knew who did it..her expressions when salima was accusing ruqyaiyya said it all...
Jodhas changing loyalty
More than calling it changing loyalty it looked more like jodha was doubtful about her brother and as always our nyaya priya jodha picks up a leaf out of jalals book of nyaya wherein he does not see any emotions, feeling and relations when he has to pronounce his judgement.Yes no doubt she has started trusting in him . She believes he wont lie... She believes that if her brother has back stabbed he needs to be punished. Her heart is crying for a brother she loves the most who has taken a destructive path but again she would not let her sorrow overshadow the wrong he has done but agrees with jalal that he needs to be punished.
A wonderful relationship in the making between jalal and jodha...
