SITA RAMAM!! 😭❤️😭❤️

When you introduce your bestie to this masterpiece, this is what happens

Princess Noor Jahan with Harry Potter

[aurum-rays]

When you rewatch most childhood movies, the cult classics, the nostalgia rides, I realize how sexist and problematic they were and I was secretly hoping Veer Zaara wasn't one of them(I watched it when I was like 10 so I don't remember). This movie surprised me.

Veer Zaara features strong, resilient female characters. Be it our protagonist Zaara played by Preity Zinta or the catalysts of the love story Saamiya (Rani Mukherjee) and Shabbo (Divya Dutta) or even Zaara’s mother (Kirron Kher) and her Bebe (Zohra Sehgal).

Zaara Hayaat Khan is a feminist, one who is against the societal norms laid for a woman. It's refreshing to see this in her introductory song "Hum to bhai jese hai wese rahengey" sung beautifully by Lata ji, but as this 3 hour musical drama progresses it gets disappointing to see Zaara whittle herself away to the same norms she was against in the first place.

Everyone around her constantly tells her it's her responsibility to be a good wife and a good mother and to guard the respect of their families. Zaara crosses the border to fulfill a final wish of her ‘BeBe’(grandmother) all by herself.

In the midst of a rescue operation, she demands her things be lifted off along with her all while hanging on to an Air Force professional in his uniform.

She pushes the crowded men away and speaks with authority "I have a ticket and I need to get on this bus". In all these instances Zaara is scared yet heroic. She phones her mother and tells her that all her life she didn't do anything and probably won't in the future too and will probably end up being just like her mother - a good wife and a good mother, so she wants to do this one thing so she can respect herself. This is what irked me. I understand she's from an orthodox family but she can still have dreams and ambitions. From the start of the movie, she is portrayed as a rebel, one who doesn't comply with societal norms and laughs in the face of stereotypes. I can only imagine how curious she would have been as a child. That alone is enough to give her some dreams.

She fearlessly tells Amitabh's character what he is doing is unfair to the girls. If I went to someone’s house for a day especially someone I barely knew I wouldn't even dare to question their acts. Zaara does and she makes him spellbound. She doesn't go “I'm just here for one day so I’ll just mind my own business and leave”. She questions the injustice. "Imagine what girls could do if they were given the right education. Some of them might even surpass Veer".

I loved Zaara in all these scenes. She fearlessly stands up against mistreatment and calls them out no matter who the other person is. All this makes you root for her until it doesn't.

In a scene where Saamiya visits Veer's (Shahrukh Khan) hometown and finds Zaara there, she says to Shabbo "Yeh kis sadi ke log hai… ?" (transl. “Which century are these people from?”)

That's exactly how I felt too. “Kon hai ye log? Kahan se aate hai?”( transl. Who are these people? Where do they come from?) Spending their whole lives in the name of the person they never got to be with. Sacrificing everything and working to fulfill someone else’s dream. Zaara has always been that kind of person. She crosses borders to fulfill her bebe's wish and gives all her life to fulfill Veer and his Tau’s wish. She keeps doing everything for others. She spends her life making others’ dreams come true. She lives her life in the memory of her lover. This also reminded me of Sita aka Princess Noor Jahan from Sitaramam (also maybe Madarasipattinam's Amy).

If Saamiya saw these women she'd again say "Kon hai ye log?"

Even after decades of releasing love stories on-screen this "sacrificing" trope hasn't changed and remains to be a classic which I am not a big fan of. Why do these characters not have any characterization of their own? (Zaara) even if they do, it all changes when a man comes into her life (Sita/Noor Jahan). Ultimately the heroin has to either die or spend her whole life in the memory of her Romeo. (Remember what Mr. Dashwood says to Jo in 2019’s Little Women?)

Maybe I don't understand love stories. Maybe I don't understand love? I don't know. But I think in real life none of us are that insane to write our whole life in someone else’s name and live and breathe just reminiscing our lost lovers, at least I am not. Maybe that is why these movies will remain classics because they are too insane to happen in real life.

Hii! 🌟

Thank you so much for this wonderful game! I would love to participate in it, if possible!

Initials - K.V.

Pronouns - she/her

Fav Royals - Noor Jahan and Princess Diana probably

I would love to hear what you say! Tysm! 🦋

Thank you for participating!! Hope this resonates! Please provide feedback if you can 💗

You as a princess + a bit of your lifestyle:

As a princess I think you would be mysterious, ethereal, and peaceful. I think you are a calming person overall. You kind of have a slightly eerie but soft vibe to you. You would be known in high society as someone who doesn’t show themselves often and keeps them on their toes as they don’t know what to expect from you. I think you would be very curious of the magical and hidden parts of your kingdom and I see you taking leisurely breaks exploring the quiet and peaceful forests around you. I think you would spend a lot of time in your spiritual practice that your kingdom does whether praying at various altars around the royal gardens or spending quiet time with your gods in your religious congregation. I think you would have a quiet spot at the lake off the palace were you would feel most connected to nature, the world around you, yourself, and your spiritual beliefs. I think you heal in nature and require that solitude to recharge. As a princess you would always have profound and thoughtful things to say which would spark beautiful and thought provoking conversations at the events you choose to attend. I think you would have a few close friends who match your temperament and match your desire for peace. Yall would do peaceful activities together such as crafting, sharing books, and just spending time talking about meaningful topics

Your vibes as a princess:

Chaos. - Tagebuch Eintrag unten!

Jeder weiß, dass ich vertrauensmäßig niemand an mich ran lass’, doch bei dir wird mir warm, wenn du mich anfasst. Deine Nähe tut mir gut, ich fühle mich leichter. Mein Atem bleibt stehen, mein Herz es rast. Mit 100 bpm durch jeden Part. Und es stimmt wenn ich sag’, dass du mit jedem Tag an Bedeutung gewinnst und ich dich immer mehr mag. Dich immer mehr mag, was bedeutet das? Verdammt, keine Ahnung. Es passierte ohne Warnung. Ich kann nichts mehr da zu sagen, denn es war nicht meine Planung. Sind es Feelings,wenn mein Herz schlägt.Die Welt stellt alles auf den Kopf. Es scheint verdreht. Jeder weiß, dass mich niemand versteht. Doch nun bist du endlich da und du gehst meinen Weg. Es tut gut, wenn du mit mir gehst. Denn du gibst mir das Gefühl, dass du mich verstehst. Wenn du da bist, vergesse ich die Zeit, welcher Tag, welches Jahr ist. Und liege ich grad, wird mir das alles offenbart, wie sehr ich dich eigentlich mag. Was bedeutet das ? Ich hab echt keinen Schimmer, ich liege da in meinem Zimmer und ich fühle mich so glücklich, als wäre ich ein Gewinner. Und ich frage mich, ob du der Grund dafür bist ?

SOBBING BRO. THIS MOVIE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[triviareads]

Do you have recs for historical romances? Are you a fan of just regency?

I am fascinated by the Mughal era and have yet to really find any romance novels set in that time that are not written by white people too.

Nah I'll read any historicals set in any period (currently reading Empire by Gore Vidal which is set during the McKinley/Roosevelt administrations) but most of the historical romances I've seen take place in the Regency era and some Victorian/Gilded age and I've not tried super hard to branch out tbh.

Anyway, here are my historical romance recs, basically Sarah MacLean, Lisa Kleypas (read some of her more obscure works; you won't be disappointed even if the writing isn't the greatest; it's how I met my favorite new bonkers heroes Prince Nikolas, a tortured Russian Prince, and Max the (duel) trigger-happy Louisianan who FOILS Aaron Burr), Sophie Jordan (especially her newer stuff), Elizabeth Hoyt, Scarlett Peckham, and Sierra Simone.

Re. the Mughal era, I don't think I've ever read a book set then apart from the Royal Diaries book I read in elementary school, Jahanara, Princess of Princesses (which I assume is a translation of her title padshah begum) by (sigh) Kathryn Lasky. I don't remember much but I think her grandma Nur Jahan is like, drugging her husband the emperor Jahangir so he's out of it most of the time and she can rule, and she placed a curse on the Koh-i-Noor or something, all of which fourth-grade me found really funny. But it's a good, short read that has fairly period-accurate vibes from my understanding.

The last few Indian-set books I read where more mythologies, like The Palace of Illusions by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, which is basically the Mahabaratha from Draupadi's POV and her story and marriage to her five Pandava brother-husbands (finally got an explanation as to how that worked), so I'd be open to more recs on this front too!

Mughal Women

Ok while I was scrolling through tumblr today on women’s history, one thing struck me odd - there wasn’t a single post regarding the women of one of the richest, most powerful empires in the history of the world. So here’s to you ladies - icons, role models and most of all - badass queens.

1. Isaan Daulat (lit. Good fortune) : Grandmother of Zahiruddin Khan or as he is famous, Babur, the founder of the Mughal dynasty, Isaan Daulat regularly advised her son on statecraft and warfare, and carried out most of his diplomatic missions. According to a source, Isaan Daulat’s husband was once killed in a war against the Shah of Persia. The Shah thereafter proceeded to “gift” Isaan Daulat to one of his generals. However, the same night, Isaan Daulat had her retinue murder him in the courtyard, “while she sipped wine reclining in the moonlight courtyard” as a witness claimed. When the Shah arrived, he questioned her about this action, to which she replied, “Islam gives me a right as a widow to marry by my convenience. You just handed me to him like cattle, and therefore his killing is perfectly justified by Islamic Sharia. You should consider yourself lucky.” The Shah of Persia then sent back Isaan Daulat with the wealth and assets he gained from that war, and declared her and her lineage as his sister and nephews. This later helped to back the Mughals’ legitimacy. Sadly, Isaan Daulat could never enjoy the land her descendants called home.

2. Gulbadan (lit. she with a rose like body) : Gulbadan was Babur’s eldest daughter, and was quite adventurous. She had famously chronicled the lives of her father and her brother Humayun, the second Mughal emperor. She looked after administration while her brother fled from place to place. She had also embarked on a seven-year voyage to Mecca and Medina for The Hajj, encountering the malicious Portuguese (she had to bribe them with a fricking town for guarantee of safe passage), pirates, kings, sufis and many more, and was thus also called Hajji Begum. She held a special place in Akbar’s zenana as his aunt.

3. Hamida Banu : Princess of Sindh, she was married off at the age of 15 to a much older Humayun at the age of 15. She had accompanied Humayun in all his wars and also on his journey to Persia, for asking the Safavid Shahs to help them recapture Hindustan. She was Akbar’s mother.

4. Maham Anagah and Jiji Anagah : Akbar’s wet nurses, they had raised up Akbar while his parents tried to win their empire back. Maham Anagah was Akbar’s chief advisor and head of his zenana, before a failed coup by his son, after which he was killed and later on she was relieved of her post, despite still holding Akbar’s favour. Jiji Anagah’s children extensively married into the Mughal family, and her husband Mirza Aziz Koka was Akbar’s head of finance. Her family, wealth and power grew so much, as the Emperor’s favourites, that they were collectively known as the Atka Khail.

5. Ruqaiyya Begum : Akbar’s first cousin, and also his first wife, Ruqaiyya Begum was Akbar’s chief queen and Padshah Begum of the zenana. Though she remained childless, she reigned supreme in the zenana and commanded her husband’s respect in a society where a woman’s existence was through her children. She was the main force behind Noor Jahan and Jahangir’s wedding, and was also the person who raised Shah Jahan.

6. Salima Sultana Begum : Wife of Akbar’s general Bairam Khan, she was later married to Akbar after Bairam Khan’s assassination. Her son Abdur Rahim was later made Khan-i-Khanan or Commander of the Mughal Army. She was the one who had brought up Jahangir, and thus he was also called Salim. An erudite scholar, she managed Akbar’s library along with her own private collection, commissioning new works and translations of others. She later protected Jahangir from Akbar’s wrath after Jahangir had him poisoned in a bid for the throne.

7. Harkha Bai : Bollywood knows her as Jodhaa, while history knows her as Maryam-uz-Zamani, Harkha Bai was the Rajput Princess of Amer and the daughter of Raja Bharmal. She was married to Akbar as part of a political alliance, and later became Jahangir’s mother. She was the richest woman of her time, her wealth being more than Akbar’s, and she also had one of the most valuable lands (jagirs). There are 2 famous anecdotes on her - 

Once, an English merchant had bought her indigo farms at Bayana, Rajasthan. When she got to know of this, she practically destroyed that merchant, bought back that farm, and later had it burnt.

Another time, the Portuguese had captured and set fire to her ship the Rahimi, one of the largest and finest ships in that time, in a last bid to maintain their hold in India and the Arabian Sea against the increasingly powerful English. In retaliation, Jodhaa had all of their ships burnt, snatched their powers and wealth, and basically made paupers out of them. She died as the richest woman in Mughal history, before Noor Jahan.

8. Anarkali : A courtesan, with whom Jahangir (then Prince Salim) fell madly in love, many historians now consider the very real possibility that she never existed and was instead “invented” by the Mughal family as someone to blame for the tension between Akbar and Jahangir. According to the folklore, Akbar didn’t approve of Salim and Anarkali’s relation, and after she and Salim refused to end things, he had her entombed alive in a wall.

9. Maan Bai : Harkha Bai’s niece, she was Jahangir’s first wife. She later committed suicide by an overdose of opium when Jahangir had her son Khusrau blinded and imprisoned in a bitter war of succession. Her brother Man Singh was one of the Nine Gems (navaratna) of Akbar’s court, and had defeated Rana Pratap in the famous Battle of Haldighati.

10. Jagat Gosini : Princess of Jodhpur, she was the Padshah Begum of Jahangir’s zenana before Noor Jahan, and also the mother of Shah Jahan. She was the biggest obstruction in Noor Jahan’s historic rise to power. She was not on good terms with then Dowager Empress Ruqaiyya Begum (see above) and hence, Ruqaiyya Begum demanded that Shah Jahan be handed over to her so that she could raise him up, and also helped Noor Jahan against her. A local folklore also suggests that she had been the one behind the miscarriage of Noor Jahan after she had come into the zenana. She faded after Noor Jahan’s rise, but still held respect and power.

11. Noor Jahan (lit. Light of the World): The most famous and powerful woman in the history of the Mughals, Noor Jahan was born as Mehr-un-Nisa (lit. Sun amongst Women) to Persian immigrant parents. Brought up in Agra alongside Akbar’s court, Noor Jahan was an intelligent woman full of talent and potential. She was married off at 19 to Sher Afghan, a commander in Akbar’s army. The marriage was a failure, and moreover Noor Jahan suffered through 8 miscarriages with him, before the birth of her daughter, Ladli (lit. Darling or Beloved). After her husband was murdered in a coup, Ruqaiyya brought her to the Imperial Palace as part of her retinue, and later helped her and Jahangir get married, with she being Jahangir’s twentieth and final wife. Her rise to power was quick, owing to her own ambition and intellect, and some help from her father Itimad-ad-Daulah (Royal Treasurer of the Mughals), brother Asaf Khan (a prominent minister in Jahangir’s court) and Ruqaiyya Begum. Her seal as the Padshah Begum became second only to that of Jahangir, and later even surpassed his own. She brought great innovations to fashion, cosmetics, administration, architecture and gardening, city planning, and many more. She was the one who had arranged the marriage between her niece Arjumand Banu and Shah Jahan. Her marriage with Jahangir was a success – both of them were tempestuous and cared and loved each other deeply. Later, as Jahangir’s health started failing due to asthma and alcoholism, she took over the reigns and took the Mughal empire to great heights. The first British ambassador, Sir Thomas Roe, arrived in her time. However, she gave the British no rights or privileges till the Rahimi incident, and extracted a great many gifts from him, including a carriage made entirely of silver. She had designed her parents’ tomb near the Yamuna river in Agra (it was later copied by Shah Jahan), and she also designed Jahangir’s tomb in Lahore (modern day Punjab, Pakistan). She had tried to get Shah Jahan to marry her own daughter, but he refused and so she completely withdrew her support from making him the emperor, and instead opposed him. Shah Jahan thus had to flee to Burhanpur, with his eldest children Dara Shukoh, Jahanara, Aurangzeb and Roshanara in Noor Jahan’s custody. Later, he waged war against Noor Jahan with help from her brother Asaf Khan. Noor Jahan was ultimately defeated in Kashmir. She was deprived of her wealth, status and power and exiled to Lahore with her daughter and granddaughter. Her influence still remained, with Shah Jahan keeping her legacy alive by copying the Taj Mahal from the tomb she designed for her parents.

12. Mumtaz Mahal : Born as Arjumand Banu, she was Noor Jahan’s niece and Shah Jahan’s most beloved. She died in childbirth while giving birth to her fourteenth child – a girl called Gauhar.

13. Jahanara : Eldest daughter of Shah Jahan, she was the one who headed the empire after Shah Jahan was left heartbroken following Mumtaz’s death, and became active in the construction of the Taj Mahal. Noor Jahan is often described as being fond of her, taking care of her education personally. She was known as Padshah Mallika, and her flower-shaped seal was the most powerful. She was an accomplished dancer, poet and a patron of the arts. She conducted the most expensive wedding ever, between her brother Dara Shukoh and Nadira Banu Begum, valued at 2 lakh rupees then, approximately 2 billion USD in today’s time.  She supported Dara Shukoh in his bid to become emperor. Later, she was imprisoned by Aurangzeb after he imprisoned Shah Jahan and killed all his remaining brothers.

14. Roshanara : Shah Jahan’s younger daughter, she was also an accomplished poet, but always at loggerheads with Jahanara. She later supported Aurangzeb as emperor.

15. Dilras Banu Begum : Aurangzeb’s first wife and Padshah Begum of his zenana, Dilras Banu belonged to the Safavid dynasty of Persia. She was mother of all of Aurangzeb’s children. However, she died an year before Aurangzeb’s succession. The Bibi ka Maqbara (Tomb of the Lady) in Aurangabad, which bears a striking resemblance to the Taj Mahal, was constructed by Aurangzeb in her honour.

16. Zeenat-un-Nisa : Aurangzeb’s eldest daughter, she was the Padshah Mallika after her mother’s death. She survived Aurangzeb by a great many years, and was respected by his successors as a remnant of a magnificent past. She was known for her charity, and was buried in the Zeenat-ul-Masjid built by her in Dlehi.

17. Zeb-un-Nisa : Aurangzeb’s favourite daughter, Zeb-un-Nisa was the most accomplished poet in Mughal history, with her works still surviving and enjoyed. She was an atheist, but later converted to Sufism. She led a secret society, and lead a rebellion against the oppressive and harsh rule of her father. She was subsequently imprisoned by Aurangzeb, where she died. She was buried in the Tees Hazari Bagh (Garden of 30,000 Trees) near the Kashmiri Darwaza (Kashmir Gate) in North Delhi. Her tomb was later shifted at Akbar’s Mausoleum in Sikandra, Agra when Delhi was expanded following Independence.

Well people, this has been an informative post. You’re welcome.

[ginazmemeoir]

the wild inaccuracy of people on this site is appalling but understandable since mostly we all say that which we hear.

Shah Jahan had three wives : Qandahari Begum, Mumtaz Mahal (née Arjumand Banu) and Izz un-Nisa Begum

Qandahari Begum, his first wife, was a marriage of political convenience and provided legitimacy to his rule since she was a Safavid princess. The third wife was also married for the same reason, since she was the granddaughter of Akbar's general, Abdur Rahim.

Mumtaz Mahal, his second wife, was his first betrothed but the marriage was stalled for five years. Mumtaz's aunt Noor Jahan married Shah Jahan's father Jahangir a prior to their marriage and that makes Mumtaz technically Shah Jahan's stepcousin. Mumtaz was also a politically astute woman and Shah Jahan regularly seeked her counsel on state and military affairs. Her death had left Shah Jahan a "walking corpse", and as was trendy in Indian emperors during those times, a magnificent marble mausoleum was erected in her honour. During those times, their eldest surviving daughter Jahanara became a constant source of support and comfort to her grieving father and handled the empire, becoming the ruler in all but name.

yes, the fourteen pregnancies thing was extremely messed up and honestly very concerning but please don't spread misinformation.

3 Best Ways to Style a Chikan Kurti for All Events

The History of Lucknowi Chikan

Chikan work is believed to have begun in India way back in the 3rd century BC. It was Megasthenes, Alexander’s companion, who first mentioned the use of floral embroidery by Indians called Chikankari. Laila Tyabji, says that Chikankari stemmed from the white on white embroidery of Shiraz and came to India from the Persian court, where the nobles wore clothes with this form of embroidery.

 There is also a story in which we hear that a peasant in Lucknow was taught Chikankari by a traveler in return for water. The most famous story is that of Noor Jahan, Jahangir’s wife introducing Chikankari to India.

The Modern Chikankari

Lucknowi Chikankari design can be found on many Kurtis, Sarees, Salwar Suits and lehengas. These designs are entirely distinct and the embroidery or the polish on Lucknowi Chikan never fades away.

Let Lucknow’s timeless craftsmanship thrive in all its glory with Lucknowi Chikan Kurtis. A basic Lucknowi chikan decent light blue color Kurti is a style staple and a must-have for your wardrobe.

To style a Kurti, all you really need is a little imaginativeness and coordination to alter the normal Kurti into a style statement, that will portray your fashionista side.

Chikan Kurti with Palazzo

Is it a truth that you are literally bored of the age-old Lucknowi chikan salwar kameez with churidar? If you are looking for a decent change in your wardrobe then pairing your chikan kurta with a pair of sassy palazzos is just the right idea. Palazzos have made a wave in the market and Chikankari kurtas really look amazing with palazzos.

Chikan Jacket

Did you know that a Chikankari kurta can be easily paired with a chikan jacket? Chikan jackets can make heads turn and are also known as “Koti”. These have become a big favorite amongst college girls. These coats are available in hundreds of different styles and designs. Select a coat according to the color of your Kurti or something in absolute contrast.

Chikan Dupatta

Dupattas make up for an important part of the Indian ensemble. They make even a simple Kurti or the worst looking salwar kameez appear spectacular. You can create a dazzling look with a dupatta paired along with a Lucknow Chikan Kurti. If you find a Lucknow chikan dupatta to be paired along with your Kurti that will look even better.

Chikan Handbags & Purses

You can also style your Chikankari zari Kurtis with chikan handbags. Be the Chikankari princess with Chikankari bags, Potlis, clutches, and sling bags. The Chikankari clutch is a mini bag with a metal frame that retains its shape. It is uber chic and comes in the perfect shape to store all your essentials. You can grab these Chikankari bags in different shapes and styles from eanythingindian at the best prices.

Lucknowi Chikan Kurtis, a Staple for Kathak

Despite the fact that the cenotaph, or faux tombs above the floor, are handiest particularly decorated and on display for site visitors to pay respects, they light in contrast to the decorations discovered in the Infant Taj only some kilometers away in Agra.
