First Tamy, now you - all reminding me of Abhay and his love for the MUZ. 😊

I had no idea at all about her till I met Abhay. And his love for her washed over me too. 😳

She was a great lady. Very courageous. And I agree with your view that the political conditions at the time of Akbar's demise might have been responsible for binding the MUZ and preventing her from joining her husband.

Like Tamy said, if Abhay were here, we could have very well discussed the historical aspect of this question and got our doubts cleared.

Nothing personal ever, but just a comment about our country...

I think a good case can be made that Indian parents are over-involved in their children's life which interferes with the emotional and social growth of children, and leads saas-bahu tensions and much of family politics and melodrama.

I would recommend the attitude that your husband/wife is your true partner for all of life. Children are on loan from God for a few years. Nourish them, do your duties, but also keep your distance, give them room to grow away from you, and eventually let them drift away into their own life.

I know that most Indian parents will not like this counsel. :)

What brilliant answer you have given.Well my case is same as Radhika ,my husband also thinks the same about me and my son.And I also feel like you that we ,Indians,emotionally get involved a lot with our kids and when they grow up then we have this empty nest syndrome.

Hi AKT,

My remark was in jest, but I agree with you about one thing. A spouse is a life-long companion. 😊

As parents, we should not get over-involved in our children's lives or make them too dependent on us for everything. But, this is different from loving. Parents can never stop loving their children, no matter how grown-up they may be. This kind of parent-child love (esp mother-child love) is different from a husband-wife love and the two cannot be compared or one considered superior to the other.

However, I feel we are digressing from the original point. What Rashmi meant was that Jodha could not die along with her husband, in spite of having spent around 43 years with him as his shadow and having stood by him when his son Salim revolted against him. This is because she was not just a wife but also a mother and a queen mother and she had to fulfill her obligations.

Jodha, as we can currently see in the show, is not one to hide behind emotions and shirk her responsibilities. Her strength is that she can hide her pain and face the job in hand with courage and grace. This is how she might have reacted upon Akbar's death, just as we can see her reacting now to the news of his supposed death and an attack by the enemy on the harem.

Radhika,

Very good post.What I feel was that how difficult it would have been for HK to live after Akbar died.

Not because they were soulmates but the incidents happened like Khurram killing Khusrau,Extremists who were quiet but now putting their head up and many more such cases.
