Why now? Why Jodhaa Akbar??

The community says Gowariker has distorted facts in his magnum opus which is to be released Feb 15. Narendra Singh Rajawat, head of the Rajput Sabha, said Gowariker is presenting Jodhabai as Mughal emperor Jalaluddin Akbar's wife, which is factually incorrect. He also said that Jodhabai was not the daughter of Raja Bharmal of Amber near Jaipur as shown in the film. Jodhabai was the daughter of Motaraja Udai Singh of Marwar and was married to Akbar's son Salim alias Jehangir. And Mughal king Shahjahan was her son, he added. Rajawat said such distortion of historical facts had hurt the feelings of the Rajput community. He urged the courts to restrain Gowariker from showing Jodhabai as the daughter of Raja Bharmal of Amber. He said the name of Raja Bharmal's daughter was Harkabai alias Heera Kunwar. You cannot make your own history and Ashutosh Gowariker is making his own history. He is projecting Jodhabai, who is Akbar's daughter-in-law, as his beloved and making a love story out of that. He is totally distorting historical facts, Rajawat said. He said that the community would boycott the film. We are also approaching the high court against this, informed Rajawat. The president of the Rajput Karni Sena, Lokendra Singh Kalvi, is also up in arms against the director. He said the Sena had apprehended the distortion of Rajasthan's historical facts in Jodhaa Akbar , which is based on the Jodhpur royal family. The Karni Sena would watch the movie when released and, if required, it would not allow the screening in the state, said Kalvi.

Re: [arr] [Semi ARR ] Rajputs threaten to boycott Jodhaa Akbar
Just to make things clear ( according to the history that we have known) *Jodha Bai* was indeed the wife of Akbar. She was his third wife. She was the daughter of Raja Bharmal of Amber . Close to a month older than Akbar. She gave birth to Salim (later as Jehangir). Jehangir later married *Jodhi Bi* and Khurram (later as shah Jahan) was born to them. So according to the histroy we have known, Ashutosh has depicted nothing wrong ! On 1/30/08, || V i s h w e s h || [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Why now? Why Jodhaa Akbar??
