It's so so awesome to read your brilliant write up for these absolutely fascinating epis...I have been catching up on these epis as late as midnight at times, but i do make it a point to catch up on JA regularly...n your posts as a follow thru. ...๐Also, your write up suggests that your health is improving, hence I'm greatly relieved on that front...๐๐ผAcc to me, the basic difference between BK & MA is that...MA is self centred, arrogant n pretends to be overly concerned about Jalal, when in reality, she is not...On the other hand, though arrogant, BK is fiercely loyal to the Sultanate, & is genuinely concerned about Jalal... he believes that it is he , BK, who has given the vibrant colours to the butterfly...He does not want the pupa to shed it's cocoon n fly around freely ...he wants to keep the pupa caged n not fully shed it's cocoon so that he, BK can contol the butterfly's flight all his life...So, to put it in a nutshell, both MA & BK are extremely arrogant about their hold on the emperor...but while BK is fiercely loyal to the Sultanate, MA is fiercely loyal to her evil intentions & diseased mind...๐If BK was half as conniving as MA, he would have survived MA ๐
Dear Shyamala Di!
It is very interesting to read your review and I am glad that you can write again.
I did a very a long time translation, you wrote everything I tried. But so much effort, I nevertheless write ...๐ณ
Subject Bairam Khan was short, but strong enough. Both the Mahamanga and Bairam Khan is equally not is not respected Jalal and never saw him as an independent person. Also, they as Rukie it was profitable to cultivate and develop it cruel and heartless. That will show the episode with Farida. (It is waiting for your further analysis). But, still it seems to me that by Bairam Khan has a warm feeling to Jalal, while Mahamana - only selfishness, lust for power and promotion Adham. I do think that all of her statements about love to Jalal only the external declaration. In fact, only Adham, Adham and Adham.
In our Russian sources I too read that the period of approximately two years was called the reign of the "long skirts".

Beautiful analysis shyamala akka
Thanks for the episode links ANJALI:-) :-)
Such a wonderful analysis and indeed a great title.๐ Really a good reading. Thanks for the information.
Jalal finally out from the shell called Bairam Khan and then took care by Maham Anga... Yeah still a long way to go. Somewhere I've read the period when Akbar under influence of Maham Anga is called like 'The Petticoat Government' by some historians.I really electrified to see your effort and passion for writing the reviews in spite of your health. But do take care Aunty!!!๐ณ

My dear Donjas,
I too am so glad to be back here; I really missed the place after a week of being away! I am better, and I hope this lasts, but the pain has now descended to my hands, especially the left one yesterday. If it had been the right one, I would not have been able to do this post at all, and I would have fallen further behind, so it was just as well!
Yes, the Jalal-Bairam Khan clashes are something to see, and they also presage a major shift in the way the Mughal empire was governed under Akbar. That is why I used the word tectonic, and not titanic. I wanted to convey the sense of tectonic movements underground, like the earth's plates shifting, movements that would usher in major changes.
As for Maham, her sense of timing and her unbelievable deviousness are both phenomenal. Your 4 stages for her modus operandi are spot on. Especially the no frontal attack part, and her emphasis on never leaving her fingerprints on any of her devious deeds.
