Few days back I watched Jodha Akbar.
Here I am not going to write any review or any historically correct version on the film. I just saw one of the scenes and got a thought which I want to share with all of you.
The two characters Bairam Khan and Maham Anga. Maham Anga ensured the proper upbringing of Akbar in absence of his mother while Bairam Khan protected and expanded the empire which other wise was almost lost from Akbar.
These two people gave the crucial support to Akbar at the point of time when required it most and without which he was headed for a doom.
Few years later when Akbar was in strong position both Bairam Khan and Maham Anga were ignonimously removed from power (even sentenced according to history).
So the question arise:
1.What did they get in return of their fierce loyalty to Akbar?
2. Had it not been better if they had strengthened their positions while Akbar was not so powerful?
3. What Bairam Khan or Maham Anga's son lacked to be the king in place of Akbar. (Just they were not born with the silver spoon)
This not only happened in past, but in present scenario:
Rahul Gandhi & Priyanka, Jyotiraditya Schindia, Priya Dutt, Supriya Sule or any other star son/daughter. What extra do they have to be preferred to be in power.
I am sure there are several others who may be much more capable and suitable for the job.
So it is the fault in our system or is it human nature...........
