The kings of Rajputana have rejected our sovereignty outright! The Rajputs!Devotees of the sword, the bravest of the brave! Your Highness! What's the reason for this interruption.Forgive me. The Queen is asking for the Princess.Tell the Queen mother,I'll join her shortly.As you wish.Jodhaa, this isn't fair! I was about to win when the attendant distracted me. Victory is victory, brother.I have defeated you! Brother Sujamal, remember -a moment's distraction can change the duel's outcome. A slight distraction can bring defeat... or death!- It is you
who taught me that!- Yes, I know.Now the student teaches the teacher.Not
teaching, only reminding.Let me tell you.Your skills are impressive.A good
student absorbs knowledgeswiftly and
well.Like you, Jodhaa!Really? So I am a good student.Thanks to a wise teacher
like you.- Your new teacher is wiser.- A new teacher? Who is that?The Queen.Your
mother will teach you,what women must know.You will soon be carried away in a
palanquin.But I have a condition!I will not marry, till fatherappoints
you the Crown Prince!- But...- My last word!Jodhaa, you must not make unreasonable
demands.But it's true!I have heard father praise your skills.He speaks
of your bravery.And the many tournaments you have won......you are proficient
in warfare deserving
to be crowned.Now there's nothing to be worried about. Am I right? <i>Let
the prayer begin - In the name
of Lord Surya...</i>On this auspicious day of Dassera......it is time for important
announcements!My first announcement is: The reins of Amer will bein Bhagwan
Das's hands. The second:
Sujamal... will be subordinate to Bhagwan Das. And now for the news, you've
long awaited. Within the
year, on an auspicious day, with Goddess Jamvai Mata's blessings......Princess
Jodhaa and Prince Ratan Singh......will be joined in holy matrimony!Congratulations!
Feign some shyness! A fruitful union!Where are you going? They must be looking
for you. Give me your veil. - Go and take my place discreetly. - Yes. Brother,
it grieved me to hear......perhaps... father was helpless! Helpless? More like
selfish and greedy. I am not hungry for power. I never eyed a thing that isn't
mine.I don't mind sharing the kingdom with Bhagwan Das and Maan Singh. All I
want is, my self-respect and honour. And what is rightfully mine. And if I am
denied this......then, remember Jodhaa, the setting sun will rise again! Brother!
I will speak to the Emperorat an
opportune moment... ...and request him to ask King Bharmal......to give you a
share of the Amer throne. I will be indebted to you, Sharifuddin Hussain! What
will I get in return? What do you want? To invade
Delhi! Invade... Delhi? Once you have your share of Amer, you will have to help
me......to invade Delhi. But are you not the Emperor's brother-in-law? Yes, I
did marry Bakshi Banu Begum, Jalaluddin's
sister. Due to that alliance, I was appointed, the Governor of Ajmer, Nagor and
Mewat.Let me tell
you something Sujamal.Water and ambition have one thing in common - they are
ever-swelling. Now I want all of Hindustan! Very well. I will help you. But no
blood must be shedin my
accession. What we dreaded has happened! Sujamal has asked Sharifuddin for help
to annex my throne. If a war is waged, our kingdom will be ruined. Thousands of
women will be widowed.Children orphaned. The very thought makes me tremble. It
does not make any sense to let innocent people get slaughtered. Chandrabhanji...
...wouldn't it be wise to make peace with the Mughals... ...and offer
Jalaluddin a hand of friendship? - Do that and be branded a traitor! - An
alliance with the Mughals?No greater
example of treason. You'll surely be regarded a traitor. It pains me too. But
let me tell you......I will be saving my people from defeat, death and
disaster... ...by accepting the Mughal treaty!Very well,
King Bharmal......let me warn you and the people of Amer... ...because of your
decision......no alliances will take place between our families... ...for
present and future generations! - Not only Ajabgarh! All of Rajputana will cut
ties with you! Rajaji, welcome to Sanganer! His Majesty has seen Chandrabhanji's
message. He will meet you here, in the elephant arena. - Where is His Majesty? -
His Majesty? Right there. Taming wild elephants and horses is the Emperor's
favourite pastime.This is no longer a sport! Your Majesty, King Bharmal of
Amer......Head of the Kachhaawaas - a great Rajput dynasty, awaits you. Welcome!
Greetings, Your Majesty!We praise your courage. A truly amazing feat!I invite
you to my royal tent.I will be pleased to welcome you there, Rajaji. As you wish!
On your guard! The Crown
of the Mughals... ...the Emperor of Hindustan......Jalaluddin Mohammad
approaches! Welcome. I
am honoured you have traveled so far to see me. May I know the purpose of this
visit? I wish to
include the kingdom of Amer under Mughal sovereignty. I am pleased and proud to
hearyou are

Mohammad Akbar Part 1
This is
Hindustan!History is witness to many......dynasties who haveruled with sword
and blood,Since 1011 AD, countless invaders......have ravaged and plundered
this land,And then came, the Mughals,They made India their home,giving it love
and respect,Founded by Babur, the Mughal Dynastypassed from Humayun to his son,
Akbar,Among all the Mughal Emperors,Akbar achieved the greatest heights -Jalaluddin
Mohammad Akbar!The first Mughal Emperorto be born on Indian soil......Akbar was
born in a Hindu Rajput home,And
there was Princess Jodhaa......who was also born in Rajputana,In Amer,Daughter
of King Bharmal......and Queen Padmavati,Jodhaa was betrothed....to Prince
Ratan Singh of Ajabgarh, The Rajputs - were taught the art of combat from
childhood......to protect their families and homes......and kingdom!Maan Singh!
Brother Sujamal! Among the warriors, was Prince Sujamal......Jodhaa's cousin, Sujamal
loved Jodhaa like a sister,He was by her side whenever she beckoned, <i>You
can make a better painting!</i>Bharmal was crowned King, following the
demise of Sujamal's father, Sujamal was left isolated......because his destiny would
take him far from Amer,Princess Jodhaa's future too would lead her......away
from the Rajputana provinces, And now, the year is 1555! The Mughal dynasty had
almost ended......following Emperor Humayun's accidental death,Taking advantage
of the situation, King Hemu seized the Delhi throne,A great battle ensued...in Panipat! On one
side was King Hemu......with an army twice the size of the Mughal army, On the
other side.....was Bairam Khan, Emperor Humayun's loyal general......who was
training the 13 year-old Jalaluddin to take on his father's mantle,You must
consolidate Hindustan!Your courage will lead to victory.I, Bairam Khan, loyal
servant to the Mughal dynasty......remind you once again......the future of the
Mughals is in your hands.Until he breathed his last, your father Emperor
Humayun, had only one dream -To see the Mughal flag flying over Hindustan. God
willing, it will be you, who will fulfill his dream! Long live Emperor
Jalaluddin Mohammad! Prepare to attack! If we can kill King Hemu,his army will
scatter. Hemu's eyes alone are exposed, unprotected by armour. Appoint an
archer who muststrike him in the eye.Soldiers and riders! Charge!Prepare to
charge!Your glorious Majesty!For the first time, today,allow your sword to
prove its worth.Behead the
traitor......and bring glory to the Ghazi name!He is worse than a dead man,
Khan Baba.How can I strike him?If you do not, the army will take it amiss......and
not believe you are a true Ghazi. Do as I bid! Soldiers! My brave Mughal
soldiers! Like his ancestors.....our Emperor Jalaluddin Mohammad too,is a true Ghazi! A glorious future to the young
Emperor!This is how Bairam Khan regained the Delhi throne for the young
Emperor, For the next six years, Bairam Khan tried consolidating Hindustan...by
sending emissaries with proclamations to neighbouring provinces, This decree has been sent by Emperor Jalaluddin
Mohammad! Align your kingdom, within a month to the Mughal Empire! And as a
loyal subject, pay the Jaziya tax and other taxes. If you reject the Emperor's
decree....then you will face Jalaluddin's wrath! This disobedience will be
deemed a crime. Offenders and their kingdomswill be annihilated. By decree of
the Emperor of Hindustan......Jalaluddin Mohammad! Tell your Emperor,he will
not have my kingdom! We, Rajputs, are unused to such orders. I need some time. I......accept!
But... we too have certain conditions. won't give Ajabgarh! Throw him out! Prepare to
attack! Have all reparations
been made, Khan Baba? Jalal, the Mughal army awaits your signal. Was a last
chance for peace given?- Chughtai Khan!- Your Majesty......our peace
proclamation has been returned.O great and magnificent Emperor, behead him! No,
Khan Baba. A king in captivity is at our mercy. He should be forgiven, not
beheaded! Forgive me, Your Majesty......as loyal custodian......I will have to
preserve the glory of the Mughal Empire.Enough, Khan Baba! No more.Jalal! Do
not forget you are the futureof the Mughal Empire.I, Bairam Khan, have created
you,O Protector of the World!I have built the Empire so carefully...and now you
destroy it. Loyalty can make a man impertinent.I have seen rebellion clouding
your sight, Khan Baba. This is the first time,I have stopped your sword. Do you
know why? Because from now on... I will make my own decisions! From now on,
following any battle......I want mercy to be shownto
prisoners of war.Today I declare......prisoners of war will not be enslaved. It
is inappropriate.Yes, I want to rule this land.But rule it with,humanity and
compassion.I misunderstood you. Had I known......I
wouldn't have had any reservation in ruling under your sovereignty. - Chughtai
Khan!- This way,
Your Highness! It is now my desire, that you unburden yourself of
responsibility....and
devote your life to Allah! Go on pilgrimage to Mecca.Your Majesty!One more
province is now
under Mughal rule. What about Rajputana?Your Majesty,their
borders are unyielding. The kings of Rajputana have rejected our sovereignty
outright! The Rajputs!
Devotees of
the sword, the bravest of the brave! Your Highness! What's the reason for this
interruption.Forgive me.
The Queen is asking for the Princess.Tell the Queen mother,I'll join her
shortly.As you wish.Jodhaa,
this isn't fair! I was about to win when the attendant distracted me. Victory
is victory, brother.I have
defeated you! Brother Sujamal, remember -a moment's distraction can change the
