he is not cruel.
No ranveer this is also a fiction. The truth is that except britishers and portuguese nobody from outside including the so-called islamists mongol turks crossbreed mughals has ruled us. They ruled mostly delhi . And delhi wasn't of that much importance back then . It's only later after kolkata delhi became the capital. And no muslims has ruled us it's a myth lie created by leftists distortions in service of congress.
Plz ye video hindi me bhi banaiye because ekta ke akabar show ke lover up state me hai

Understanding about Akhbar from Urduwood movies like Mughale Azam and Jodha Akhbar is like understanding about Mouse from cartoon mickey mouse and Ratatouille 😂😂
This always made me wonder. Why Akbar was shown so empathetic and kind in modern day cinema and television. When we know reading history that he was not. Thankfully, finally, someone is speaking about it. I never understood why Bollywood liked to whitewash him as this Mr. Nice guy.
Because every jihadi criminal is their hero and its not bollywood its karachiwood run my Porkistan!!
Bollywood is financed predominantly by the Underworld and BI forces
he also looked like central asian and was very short in height.
@@tivky Projecting certain kinds of body types as ideal has always been Bollywood's forte. It is really sad as to what Bollywood has done to the standards of Indian cinema.
That's what liberalism and too much leftist ideology does to history...

No need to bring Bollywood drama here. Its not twitter!!
@@muzungchimr3527 Jodha Akbar, a product of Bollywood is already here in this video idiot. No one is "bringing" it...
It’s just the beginning. They won’t learn and will keep losing wealth.
Go comment on Hollywood movies also then 😂😂😂
As per V. D. Savarkar "Akbar was kind means actually he was less cruel than other Mughal emperor"
yeah like own local ones were any sweeter.. Shiva Bhosle killed 400K Shivites from Hyderabad - men women and children! razed temples and didn't even spare the cattle!
@@ritikkumar1250 correct..madrassa ka topper
Not less cruel , actually in Savarkar's time it was not very well known and also Before 1920s i think Savarkar was kind of secular man. They knew about the i$lamic cruelity but not very precisely. I don't actually remember when did savarkar wrote this but yea the Akbarnama and other books became available completely in english after 1930 and so , i guess.
Exactly. Please put things in perspective.. there are cruel leaders in Non Mughal emperor's too..
She is jus delusional, like the Ranveer guy.
this lady is badass. I loved the way she spilled out truth
she is a microbiologist😆
I see, and how you know she is right?
India is trying to mask history to feel good. She is not even historian .
😂😂 microbiologist as historian
How the hell is she spilling the truth LOL? She's just an egomaniac sounding like she knows everything
"The truth is there is no truth, anyone can be god for someone and devil for another"
-Eren Kruger (Attack On Titan)
The Moghuls were outsiders to India who claimed Mongolian ancestry from Tamerlane and Genghis Khan. Not just in India, in many places when their are outside rulers, they tend to be cruel and uncaring of local indigenous cultures and peoples. The Moghuls, like most outside colonizers, ran an extractive economy that took from the local people. Contrast that to indigenous empires like Ahom, Chola or Vijayanagara where living conditions for the average person benefitted.
Obviously, when the administration is from the people and the administrators are connected with the public, it would lead to a booming economy and better living standards
Yes that's why we still have Hindu Dynasties and not even a few Mughal dynasties exist.🤣
Zahiruddin Babur is a heroic figure in Uzbekistan. In Farghana, there is a huge statue of Babur and the park is called Babur square. Uzbeks celebrate him as, "This is the guy who f**ked India hahaha"
Irony is, even we Indians celebrate our f**ker
We should celebrate Shershaah and Hemu if at all. Shershaah was a Bihari pathan who loved India, and Hemu was his brave general. They really gave Mughals(foreigners) hard time😂😂
Excellent points...
Mughals were not the descendants of Mongols. The mongols were from today's Mongolia and north-eastern china. The Mughals were turks!
Literally i feel terrible when the history of Peshawa Bajirao Rao 's is twisted by these Bollywood insane people 😠
That intimate scenes - so embarrassing to watch our Hiro like that. 😏😏
@@milind8783 absolutely right
Can you please educate me on this please? I was wondering how accurate that movie was after getting to know the dark history or akbar!
@@mehh9364 his army attack chittorgarh - birth place of Maharana Prataap and after victory, his army killed almost 10,000 innocent Hindus. He had 3000 concubines and around 200+ boyfriend.
Today's terrorist are nothing in front of him.
@@milind8783 I'm sorry but who are you talking about?
Just visit Rajasthan and you'll know how cruel was Akbar...
How??
@@vartikashukla4693 I've visited the place where Jauhar occurred and Queen sacrificed her life with other girls just to save them from the brute cruel forces of Akbar who personally brought hell for the Hindus of Rajasthan
@@WarriorDeb okay okay....thanks for sharing.....🙏....why bollywood didn't search for these facts before romanticism of Jodha Akbar?? ..........I too believed for more than a decade that inspite of being Mughal and invader he was kind and great...🥲🥲
@@vartikashukla4693 Bollywood is full of propaganda, but you should visit Rajasthan once to know more, I've visited almost entire India and I've seen places, have known histories which depicts the plight of the Hindus. You'll cry when you'll listen to stories of Kashmiri Hindus, One Hindu caretaker who is now converted to Islam, told us the stories, which I can't tell you here.
@@vartikashukla4693 My present profile picture is captured by me, it's the picture of the monument of Maharana Pratap with his horse Chetak in Rajasthan...
Honestly I don't think people fell for Akbar's character. Guess it was Hritik's looks and the poise with which he presented the character that people fell in love with. I was 12 year old too back when the movie was released, this brought back memories of good school days and the discussion in classrooms that how the movie and books are different
That's exactly what bullyweed does. Employs good looking/handsome faces to twist history and white washes the gory truth.
@A to Z Everything.. which history have you read bro. persian sources or left wing ones. like literally if mughals had won all wars why is it that our country is still completely hindu. forget hindu sources even english, portugese and dutch sources praise indian resistance to islam.
It was to support love jihad, supported by underworld of bullywood.
@@kushagragurnani3730because mughals were indianized pretty quickly under akbar bruh jahangir was half rajput shah jahan was 75% rajput they had rajput generals, mughal armies bulk was made up by hindus its not away a religious war like which is presented in media
Her book Challeging Destiny was an eye opener, it also helps with building fortitude.
Thanks Ranveer for bringing these topics up.
Strage, she mentioned multiple times that the movie was incorrect without pointing out what was incorrect in the movie. She isn't being specific and said "I would rather not talk about it".
Thanks alot brother for this podcast. I wish someone in Bollywood makes the movie on reality
Yeah the same Bollywood should make a movie on Modi again and show how he paved the way to killing Thousands of muslims.
I don't think anyone will.
People wants money now days.
If they do that movie will be boring and no one will be watching it.
can you mess with your boss? if not, how can you think that Bollywood will show reality of these Islamic Invaders when major money comes from D-wood.
🤣🤣🤣acha joke tha
As history major, I definitely get what she means by " not watching historical movies or dramas" .. these movies are messed up ngl
"Akbar-The Great" that was he title of the chapter about akbar in my 4th class history ook so not just movie but when we are taught the same in in school too both of them togeather creates that image of akbar,a kind and a gentle one which is far away from the reality
He is called the great not because he was innocent or cruel but because of his policies, warfare techniques etc. Alexander is called the great. He is considered cruelest king ever. But he conquered the world. That's why he is called great not because of him being good king. There's nothing like good king. Broaden your horizon.
It was fascinating to learn about history from a highly qualified microbiologist and entrepreneur! Absolute nonsense!
@@gia42472 that's foolishness, imagine conquering the world, taking so many lives, sadness pain sorrow of families, then they died :D they played an important role in teaching the world what not to do. They are not great, they were fools. Look at RAM he always thought about his people, his wife his brothers and his teaching are still remembered, this is greatness
@@Sasuke-d8l bro, ram is God while these others aren't. Understand the difference.
@Gia N Ya the greatness is not all about king it's about what contribution he gave to state.
. He killed his brother like Adam Khan because he attacked malwa and misbehave queen Rupmati.
"Do you think all of the history's characters are great?" - that's a deeply rooted good question.. Kudos 👍👍
Is all human beings good?? Seriously . No . Then how can all historical figures be great?
Who asks this stupid question ? Of course not every character were great because they were humans and every human is not same and I mean random human not fate-selected celestial humans
That’s the stupidest question of all time.
Good people would never be able to raise to that level of power
Deeply rooted? Haha... That's so shallow and stupid. To rise to a level of power even in civilised world of today involves being downright cruel and ruthless. Back then wars, invasions annexation was the norm.
Wrong perception of India
1. Gandhiji father of India
2 . Akbar was great
3. Nehru was a greatest PM
Want to ask why the 1st one is wrong,, as i beleive you must have studied about this,, so , plz do explain
N plzz try not to give what's up answers
4. Savarkar was Veer or freedom fighter 😂
5. Godse was patriot 😂
6. Modi was Vishwa guru 😂

I think in this case the famous tv serial Jodhaa Akbar did some justice ,because neither it showed only the "pious" side of Akbar it was something worth watching..I feel so
utter nonsense. a jihadi terrorist was converted into a kind man in these 2 kaudi ke dramas. it's like saying hitler is a kind man.
Agreed 💯
Akbar had a pious side only in leftist textbooks , nowhere in reality.
😂😂😂 they didn't show that he killed his subordinates to have their wives and satisfy his lust..
@@mohanaraga6477 Then why did he stop the practice of haram?
This is y i love your Podcast Ranveer.. you show us some fact which are also dark secrets
If Akbar was not that great. So was allahudin khilji was not cruel as shown in padmavat. He was not barbaric, Nobody really want to learn reality. Plus nobody knows the actual reality. And kings irrespective any religion, country all wanted power and kingdom. They have done some good, some evil. That's human. That's politics. Thats world.
Akbar Wasn't Great,
He Was Great Amongst Mughals.
That's Why We Call Him Great .
Hey go read books and then speak not by ur small mind pr choro tum jaise log jo jahangir etc all Mughal ko apna idol mante ho vo kya bolega and jakr dekhna jo galat h unhe hm k bhi bhi apna idol nhi bolte like u people,,Galt Galat hota h chahe vo koi bhi kre yeh nhi kaha ki hmare yahan sab acha hai pr bure ko hm apna idol nhi mante kyunki vo hindu hoga to samjhe pr etc ....... Bahut kuch h chahe jitna bol lo tumhare pale nhi pr ne vala so leave it .
The Mughals were all about violence.
She knows exactly what people want to listen 😂😂
What can be expected from bjp agent podcast
She is right. Go do some research
@@simranpoptanii No, she isn't totally correct. She is a godi type person. I have watched some of her other videos. Even his podcast is bjp agen-da friendly.
Yes , this needs to come out 💯
Medha Bhaskaran ji , I fully agree with you..we believed what we were taught in school and college .how distorted the truth is I am getting to know now listening to factual talks based on true knowledge from you.. there are countless like me am sure..thank you for your inputs.. 🙏🇮🇳
Wow the way she's talking the truth is really appreciable!
That's why there have always been controversies associated with all historical fictions made by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Directors like him have twisted the stories in the name freedom of creativity doing gross injustice to the characters whose names and characters were based on real people who existed. There is one thing to be inspired by a historical figure create a fictional story loosely based on them. But it's another thing to take a historical figure in its entirety and completely change the intent and execution of the decisions they took in those times or to fabricate false relationship stories about them that never existed.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali showed wrong history of Bajirao Mastani also i mean according to history it's never Bajirao Mastani means marrying more than more person was common at that time, and movie didn't highlighted bravery of Bajirao
I personally find him overrated , less of brain n more of melodrama. Though good in aesthetics
@@vrishalisonar453 whom?
So true. This is also the case with movie like gangubai. If u dig deeper gangubai was no social worker at all. She was a pimp and she forced woman into prostitution, so celebrate such character
@@PramodYadav-wo4zu true 😂
Ranveer bhaiya u r winning hearts by showing the reality
actually ranveer really todoing appreciable job by called that person on his podcast who really know values of sanatan and india .... and show the reality of our kind, merciful, intelligent (as per our textbook) mughals king ........good job ranveer ❤
First of all, Hrithik was a more inaccurate choice for Akbar than Priyanka was for Mary Kom.
Akbar was short, only 5'5, fat, pale, with a thin moustache and mongolian eyes(sources claim even his wives were taller than him)
And then there is Hrithik, 6'1 inch, tanned, green eyes, chiseled face...lol. He would have been good as Shershaah Suri or Hemu, but not Akbar
Not even 5.5
Sounds like you have more problems with shorter people than Akbar himself 😅😅😅😅
@@anasqureshi644 Nope...I have problem with the way Akbar is potrayed as this incredible handsome man...
@@anasqureshi644 can u read the comment properly again bruh?
@@PaulAllen6304 naur these bollywood directors love to cast good looking guys in their movies so that desperate audience would watch em lol
You can give the reference books madam mentioning in the description, it may help viewers to reach out to them and read.
Yeah he was cruel but in that movie they showed just his love for jodha not his kindness.......kabhi kabhi suna hua or dekha hua sach nhi hota, agr galti hi cahiye to phr galtiyan hi dikhengi it's just a movie and nothing, don't be crazy
Really enjoyed the podcast, and appreciate the honesty and capacity of medhaji to tell us the truth about our history in simple yet strong words.
Feel blessed to be able to avail this knowledge. Will surely buy your books ma'am.. May you have best of health, to research, write books and educate us.
"I m no historian" but write books about history? What?
She said she has *read* books watch the video properly
@@kunalbansal5350 what books?
I love the work "Keyboard Warrior" 😂😂😂
It's a ten year old word
Yes I agree with you
Get J. Sai Deepak he is a man with a spine and doesnt mince his words, unlike the lady here who is scared of god knows what.
He won't bring the one and only liberandu killer, he might drop too kuch truth bombs. Ranveer could not handle that
I wonder why different historians differ in their opinions so much if the source of information is same, like the Akbarnama.
Good point. It depends on how we see and understand. Everyone have their own point of view. The one statement which 3 people listen will take it in 3 different ways and understand it in 3 different ways
Defaced, broken sculptures and statues of Hindu/ Buddhist/ Jain deities show a lot about how tolerant were these Mughals towards native population. These evil worshipers left no stone unturned to destroy everything that depicted glory and magnificence of Hindu culture and traditions.
Thank you for this podcast. 🌺
No king is saint
Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was one🙏🌺
except HINDU KINGS
Name a king that won battles with love
It's not about the violence in battles. It's the violence outside the battle field that they unleashed, on civilians. That's the difference between a good king, and an evil one.
Killing soldiers in battle=/= killing civilans and raping women
You missed the point
good to watch as a story not as history 😍
it's simple that there are lot of funding happens from east Asian countries especially on our cinee industry.... really hatsoff to this lady to talk the truth openly and you pplz are boldly telecasting it... congrats buddy
Which ruler, conqueror or king wasn’t cruel ? Battles and wars were part of almost every king, it may be due to saving one’s kingdom or to expand it. If Alexander and Ashoka, despite butchering millions can be Great, why can’t be Akbar. Akbar was Great because of his tolerance and respect towards other religions. He even tried to unite all under one religion Deen e ilahi, which was failure. Rajputs flourished under his reign and so their religion.
He forcefully convert one raja to Islam and his new name was naibat khan
@@veerswami7175 brother, he was not even himself a hardcore Muslim.
Akbar Wasn't Great
He Was Great Amongst Other Mughal Rulers .
Every King is Not Cruel ,
They Were The Owners Of Powers & For Their People They Used To Attack , Defend Etc . Etc .
But The Other Kings Would Win The War & Dominate Their As Their New King
But They Didn't Took Away Womens as Tools, Didn't Humiliated Other Religions ,
Didn't Broke Their Religious Places & Mughals Looted Us ,
Never Think They Rule & Lived Here They
Just Wasted Most Of Their Money In Just Maintaining Their Luxury,
in The Era Of. Mughals India's GDP Deteriorating & Not Increasing
People keep forgetting Akbar the great means Akbar was a great ruler not that he was a great person
Hindu kings mahaan the bas bakhi sab chootiya the. Ashoka great tha 1lakh logon ko maarne ke baad apne bhaion ko maardiya. Sab historian chootiya the bas aunty proper historian hain.
An eye opener. Youth must watch. Do not take movies seriously 😄
You should take this feedback and confront the makers of such bollywood masala historicals. That will be fun
It's always difficult even with the best of the historians to cleary depict the picture of what would have happened in past as they have their limitations. It's even more difficult to interpretate the happening of the past as many tend to be biased and are guided by irrational thinking patterns.
In India Ram Sethu is symbol of Love , devotion & eternal purity.
How can Akbar be a true lover where he marries to every nine month?
Most of His marriage happened either to fulfil his lust or political gain nothing else.
It's becoz Taj Mahal was built by Shah Jahan.
But what ur saying is correct though.
Tu History padh whatsApp university se gyan mat le
Sab workers ko paise diye the usse enhone nayi city banayi shazahanabad yani ki old delhi

@@jinalvaghelabts4115 U dear historian please check the Meaning of Orat this word arise from his rule.
Also read what he did to his 1st wife.Meena bazar was greatly promoted during his rule where women were sell off .
I don’t agree with her.
Being a ruler , they had to do so many things NOT only Mughals but every king.
In our country only we had so many cruel kings we should name them as well.
We had cruel kings but not cruel as mughals.
Ashoka was a cruel king in terms of war but he made great work towards his kingdom and respected women. He married many but with consent for political reason.
But akbar had 1000 women in h8s haram apart from 300 wives. He used to capture ladies in war. Killed lakhs of hindus because they didnt convert
Great video ranveer. Pls do a podcast on maratha invasions of bengal.
Bhai ab aap improve kar rahe ho...mai pahle aapko achha host nahi samjhta tha par ab aapko dekhe achha lagta hai.
This woman sounded very ignorant. She just wanted to say her point and get it over without any facts.
0:48 does not cite which book
Invite Neeraj Atri ... he has very knowledge over history , religion and NCRT..... you will get at least 150 podcast from that person and you will become fan of that person the way and depth he talk
There is a disclaimer after the film, people miss that. Besides it’s a fiction at least that mond we should apply as audience.
The lady is not a historian but wants to downplay the good things that Akbar did for all the bad things that not only him but medieval rulers did across the world.
She is a bjp agent
she watched for only 15 minutes and then came to a conclusion, how on earth she was talking about it. I am not saying that was the perfect depiction of Akbar, but come on! someone is giving opinions based on her 15 minutes of watch time.
Many people say Akbar was very great , but he was not great . He was just a self obsessed and cruel Mughal king like his ancestors. If you don't know , during Akbar's conquest on chittorgarh. He massacred about 30,000 -40, 000 innocent civilians in the fort and made a skull tower from their heads to spread fear among the peoples. He was not great in any way . It's all truth.
That's how things worked during that time. Do you think a kind hearted person can be a king during that time. Even ashoka was ruthless before he turned to Buddhism and when he turned into a kind guy his kingdom fell. It was the starting of the fall of the maurya empire.
Kings have to be ruthless and make decisions that won't be in public interest to stay in power.

Hello Mister, what about the second part of this video?
This is exactly what my dad also said
Thank You Ranveer for this podcast👍👍
It's high time people understand the truth and not get brainwashed by these bolly dramas
His history reference of Akbar is Jodha Akbar and Hrithik Roshan 😌..my God
These are so knowledgeable sessions. Thanks for such wonderful lessons.
Your podcast topics are really amazing and very informative. Thank you for sharing the information and best content. Whenever I watch your podcast I always get involved . Keep going 👏👏 god bless you. My request from you is can you please invite Ms. Keerthihistory.
And some peacefuls beleive Mughals were their ancestors and treat them as ideals.....🥴🥴🥵🥵
Mam is totally completely right.... The histories are all twisted..... Congrats Mam
Can she explain who the real Akbhar and jodha were? That would enlighten us way more than just saying movie isn’t accurate.
Was there any king who ruled over large tracts and his rule did not involve any torture?
90% of the kings were cruel. Kanishka and Asoka caused the bloodiest wars and after all that they did for power and with other things they went into Buddhism when they were much older. I don't see them different from our politicians today.
Ashoka was Buddhist before Kalinga war and kaniska is very unique hybrid of vaishnvaite and Buddhism faith in his reigns Buddha also considered as 9 th avatar of visnu
Ashok had embraced Buddhism much before Kaling war... Not in old-age.
Yes , so true . Most of the Kings from our history were meant to be cruel . Even many Hindu Kings fought with each other , killing millions of people. I don't understand why people have so much fascination for Kings and Kingdoms . Concepts such as Humanity , human rights etc didn't existed back then .Killing someone was a sign of bravery and power . And yes you are right there is no difference with todays politicians . It's because Kings , politicians represent the evil mindset of masses whom they represent . People make Kings ,politicians as hero because they fight for their evil causes . You can take the example of todays world leaders .
Please give the references !!!
This episode is the most engaging one of all..infact best podcast ever
"Killing subordinates and taking their women" 🙄 Great

Ranveer sir u r the best public speaker. Thankuuu for every videos.
Also paying real attention to the concept of half-truth by Medha
Even history books depict only the historian’s side of the story, history through the historian’s eyes.. the same history would have different colours through subaltern portrayal of history. So there is no absolute truth, it is always relative.
Fiction is different from evidence. We know half truth yeah but making something from imagination is fiction. Not even half truth
Couldn't agree more 🙌
Medha Bhaskaran ji is a great person. She deserves the respect of every self-aware Indian.
You should do interview with Mr Manu S Pillai he is a young historian he can give a lot of historical facts
His book the ivory throne was good to read about kings and queens of Kerala
Many people have a lot to say about it ... Call real " Historian " rather than a "Microbiologist".
I stand unbiased. I am not taking sides. But whenever, some opinions are made it ought to be backed by appropriate proof.
We have a tendency to look at historical figures from the modern lens of rationalism and humanism . Akbar was considered as a liberal king because of his actions that were contrary to what was considered common in that era. IDK if she’s historian or what but she fails to historicise and contextualise history while studying it !
I would like to read the book which she is talking about . Pls share the details
Adipurush is the best example of Bollywood people's Research..😂😂
The films she named were not claimed as "Based on true story" it was just a movie. See people are real sensitive about such factors and can't appreciate art. This movie is just a story, and a story is completely one's perception. The movie makers made this film based on thier perceptions, never on the facts and never claimed. If you miss judged this, and if Akbar for you is Hrithik Roshan, you should probably blame your history teacher for it.
As she said, for viewers a fiction presented as history will become real history for the viewer who is unaware. This is because viewer will not be able to filter what is real and what is fiction. So since it sets rhetorics and changes people's idea of reality, hence can not be called art for sure. Can be called a propoganda though.
@@mAviralbhanu Agreed, a normal Joe in India subconsciously accepts whatever shown on the TV as the plain truth. The idea that they are being played doesn't even strike their mind.

@@mAviralbhanu I don't think foreigners pay that much attention to us tbh. They'd properly start noticing us when we have solid hard power, just like they're noticing China right now. Maybe in the future!
I see Bollywood as a primarily tool to control domestic narratives. The usual trope being sterilize the majority community by challenging their faith, practices etc and glorify only the minority abrahamic faiths. Minority Indic faiths like Buddhism and Jainism are not even mentioned at all and Sikh characters are stereotyped and used for comic relief.
@@mAviralbhanu that's true. The message sometimes is not clear. But there are many movie makers who successfully announced indirectly that it's thier perception of the whole event.
Winners of war? Seriously?
really a dumb argument by Ranveer
Can u plz make a podcast on bhoota kola which is based on Manglorean culture and recent movie KANTARA
Thanks for bringing the truth to light 🔥❤️ bollywood deserves boycott
Watching a movie expecting that it's true story is kind of funny, that's why the disclaimer is given at the start of all movies...am not saying movies won't influence ppl, it will influence that's the fact, but art is art, the creator has some freedom he can twist and turn it...the movie is evaluated not by its exact minute depiction of facts only it's about the art form, acting, techniques and if it's not distorting the facts completely then it should be okay.
Now what is the truth, no one really knows...
Everyone are good for someone and bad for someothers, all kings with some ambition were cruel to many masses, they used to conquer, kill, rape and use ppl. They ruled as they seemed fit...many raided other territories including the Marathas, Tippu, Cholas, Guptas, everyone...that was the way of Life then.
What is treated as greatness or what defined greatness in those times were whether they ruled a massive territory or whether they were feared and respected by the majority... whether they commissioned great art and architecture during their reign...whether their Cities were renowned and multi cultural and that was the norm...in that aspect India had many great kings and Akbar was one of them.
So if u say some king was cruel then including Ashoka they were all cruel to someone at some point...and no one is great...anyone with power over masses tend to use it.. against them...that's the fact.
Depiction should not be biased that's true, and to an extent i can understand what's she sayn but i think she is also biased...
Both Akbar and Rajput were not great. End of discussion go in peace. 🤣
😂 our current constitution is great that's what it is 👍😂
Edit:- our current Administration as well
Literally every historical drama makes the person seem less terrible than they were in real life.
I have won an award so I know everything, you don't know? What's this bias statement?
NO ruler was perfect.
There are great aspects to Akbar and bad aspects too.
But painting anyone in one color is terrible.
Mughals, marathas, sikhs, cholas, guptas, mauryas and many others had good and bad acts.
Speaking the truth is tough because indian audience lacks the guts to take criticism.
you don't have to add marathas, sikhs, cholas, guptas, mauryas and many others. there were no good thing they gave us
Well well well, there's no dynasty other than Chola which ruled for more than 2000 years according to the latest archaeological evidences. And if you wanna more about which dynasty or King had more good or bad aspects just check out the legitimate sites.
That's what she said later in podcast 👍
You are right.
Haha, spoken like a TRUE Gandhi Clan brand idiot. Yes I am painting you in one color only. Justnlike your ancestors would have, but I am glad they did not and you still have a name like Aditya and not Abdul or Ahmed.
Sorry but people also want to depict dramas on films. The historian doesn't know themselves. They just archeological evidence .
as a student of history
I am able to understand what are you saying...
I agree with her ❤️
Hope we don't get all the sides to see of a king other side too not much but little in movie will do
Mam can you give me the reference of authors and history books you read after all your are not a historian
exactly
The song "jalaluddin" in Hustle 2.0 ..gives me the same feel
Film movies are not documentaries. To expect them to be historically correct is the beginning of disappointment.
We Indian are hypocrites. We admires western realistic movies but if we made such movies in India we don’t watch it hence producer has to modify the story making more interesting far from truth. In the end movie is a business and it needs to generate money.see what happened to movies like section 375..
