Indian Movies Thread IV

Thanks Bharatbhai

'Who says Akbar was great?' by divangat Sri P N Oak dedicates one full section of the book upon this topic of Mugals (starting with Akbar) marrying Hindu princesses. He tears apart, very crudely and roughly, the claim that it was volunteer Hindu proposals for sending their daughters to the harem of the turki-mangol bred musalmans. The whole thing was like a death in shame for Hindu kings, and it was by force, blackmail and under very dark circumstances that such event took place.

There is one traditional song that is still sung in Alha-Udal type of style, and IIRC Nirad C Chaudhary quotes it somewhere. In the song a Hindu princess returning after her wedding with Mugal, taunts her brother that, 'O Brother, what is that I see below your nose? Is that a moustache?'

Mughal-e-azam was at least made by a musalman. Akbar-Jodha is made by a so-called-Hindu. What a shame for him and his ancestors.
