In fact, no one cares about history and tradition

At the beginning of the sixteenth century, on the Central Plains, from Zhengde to Tianqi, several emperors of the Zhu Ming Dynasty, Zheng and generations of civil servants and Confucian scholars tossed this old empire back and forth. And the rulers of the previous dynasty, those nomads from the northern grasslands, also retreated into the desert more than a hundred years ago, and relied on the Han general Wang Baobao to grit their teeth and resist for twenty years, and then they became Tatars. From now on, it has nothing to do with the Central Plains.
At the same time as the Yuan Dynasty, the four major Khanates established by the Mongols relying on massacres almost disappeared, and even the Timurid Empire, which destroyed the Chagatai Khanate, fell at the feet of the Uzbeks.
At this time, a descendant of Timur, in a basin called the Yaosha River in ancient China, called the Fergana Valley, was born. This person is the famous last great unified dynasty in India, the founding king of the Mughal Dynasty, and the grandfather of Akbar the Great. The valley where he was born is located at the junction of what is now Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. It can definitely be called rich in products and densely populated. It was from here that this Mongolian named Babel, who was actually a Turkic Mongolian, began his journey of conquest.
Some people think that Baber wanted to restore the Timurid dynasty. However, after being defeated again by the Uzbeks, Baber had actually given up. After that, with a few hundred people, he won Afghanistan, which is now in Kabul. Twenty years later, North India was his next conquest. Immediately, after performing a great victory similar to 8 million breaking 100,000, Baber officially became the "Hindustan Emperor", which is Zhaoji of the Mughal Dynasty.
In fact, the Mughal is also known as the Mughal, which means the empire of the Mongols. In the movie, Akbar is known as the first Mughal emperor born in India. In fact, he was born on the way of his father's escape, and the specific place is now in the Sindh province of Pakistan, which is close to India. Of course, in the Mughal era, it was indeed part of the Indian Empire. However, at that time, the Indian mainland was mainly a state territory with city-states as the main body. From the perspective of remote areas and powerful city-state local kings, the emperor of India may not have direct jurisdiction over his territory and subjects. They only considered the emperor's wishes when they needed to swear allegiance or go to war with each other.
Akbar grew up in Persia, now Iran. His father's return to the kingdom also depended on recruiting Persian warriors and getting the help of the then Persian king Thamespe I. As a result, Akbar, who had not received a systematic education in his childhood, was illiterate. He practised Islam all his life, but was not a "fanatic". Some have compared Akbar to Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty in China, both in terms of personal life and imperial rule. Similarities do exist when it comes to the domination of major ethnic groups and multiple beliefs with minorities and beliefs.
Today, Akbar is considered by contemporary Indians to be the true founder and greatest emperor of the Mughal Empire in India. The theoretical maximum territory of the Mughal Dynasty is also the main blueprint used by many Indian FQs today. This is actually no different from those similar ZFs and YFs on the domestic network.
Akbar the Great in history can definitely be called a complex person. But that obviously doesn't matter for the movie. At least, in this film, we can fully appreciate the main theme of the Bollywood version + Wei Guangzheng. It can only be said that the skills of Indian classmates are indeed not a little worse than Hollywood's. But compared to the classmates who use Chinese characters in the east, although they are a little immature, they are much simpler. At least when people sing Acura, it doesn't make people goosebumps so crazy.
What's more, the former Miss World + handsome male pig with obvious Central Asian blood rather than Mongolian face, with a full set of luxury Indian fashion jewelry, the background is a whole picture of the palace in the outer Indian and inner European gothic style, interspersed in the middle enough to be on the pop chart. There are several solo, duet, and chorus, such a 3-hour super-long costume MTV looks quite seductive.
As for the plot, the screenplay, the history, the tradition... who cares?

Jodhaa Akbar quotes

  • Todar Mal: [DVD English subtitles by Nasreen Munni Kabir]

    [Akbar and Jodhaa, in private argument]

    Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar: I don't understand?

    Jodhaa Bai: No, you don't! You know how to wage war and conquer. But do not know how to rule.

    Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar: [confused] What did you say?

    Jodhaa Bai: That you have only conquered me, but not won my heart yet... you should have at least tried to know what really happened. But the truth is that you are far removed from reality. You do not know how to win hearts. To do that, you need to look into their minds, discover their little pleasures and sorrows. And win their trust. Be one with their heartbeat! And the day you will succeed in doing that, you will rule my heart.

    [2nd scene later, Akbar visits Agra Bazaar disguised as a commoner, accompanied only by two trusted court ministers, Todar Mal and Mahesh Das]

    Todar Mal: Your Majesty, why are you doing this? Roaming in the bazaar without guards is dangerous.

    Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar: Don't worry. No one will recognize me. I'm doing it since there's a difference between conquering and ruling. To win the hearts of people, one must look into their minds.
