.I dont understand, why people just dismiss this serial JODHA AKBAR as pure fiction. I have been doing a lot of research on the story shown in this serial and surely its not only fiction. HATS off to the makers for doing such a great research on this subject.
The disclaimer which runs at the start does not say that its fiction but only that they dont guarantee the events shown are with utmost historicity, since they have to add some events. In any historical show, for sure 100% events can't be true, some element has to be added.
And , whatever I have written here, is not my imagination, but after reading many books.
I could gather this much info with PROOF. i am still finding more. History mentions a lot on akbar but not on his first hindu wife maryam zamani/ harkha/jodha bai/. Just reading on internet never gives true picture, as people say anything , write anything as per their convenience.
For example: Wikipedia page on maryam zamani, has been changed several times,in last 3-4 months ..!!!
Regarding face-off, let me make it clear, Amer had a face-off with mughal forces around 1561.
In akbarnama(akbar's biography), its clearly mention
