Jodha Akbar
Owners of Cinema hall in the Rajasthan were not screening the film Jodha Akbar in their cinema halls because of aggressive protests by Rajput groups against “distortion of historical facts” in the film.
Rajputs in Rajasthan have blocked the screening of the big budget film “Jodha-Akbar”. According to them, Jodhaa was the daughter of Udai Singh of Marwar & was married to Akbar’s son Salim.
But the film “Jodha-Akbar” shows Jodhaa as Akbar’s wife & Gowarikar claims he has the backing of historians & a royal family of Rajasthan to prove it.

As much as the public sentiments of the Rajputs and other concerned communities must be respected, I would like to make note that historic distortions are not necessarily considered ‘distortions’, as they may also be regarded as historiography, or the different forms of perceiving history. To add to that, I would like to inform, if this form of channel allows, the individuals and communities that are concerned over the name ‘Jodha’ and her particular reference in terms of historical accuracy that she was officially known as Hira Kunwari, the Princess, who later became the Queen.
