Amazing character introduction. Plus, this basically sums up Malik and Alauddin's relationship.

NOT ONLY THAT but my history teacher said that somewhere alauddin khilji remarked thatl “duniya mein agar jannat hai to/saari duniya ki khushi hai malik kafur ki bahon mein” which translates something to – if there is heaven on earth/all the world's happiness lies in the arms of malik kafur.

besides it is commonly accepted by all historians that during the last years of his life alauddin was madly in love with malik and thus gave all the powers to him. and malik. well, he, uh, orchestrated alauddin's murder.

My history professor literally said "Alauddin was bi for Kafur"

[saifbaghdadroleplay]

Barni scrive,... il governo del Sultano stava vacillando quando la morte lo colse. Alcuni dicono che il famigerato Malik Naib Kafur abbia aiutato la sua malattia a terminare fatalmente. Le redini del governo caddero nelle mani di schiavi e di gente senza valore; non rimase alcun saggio a guidarlo, e ognuno fece quello che voleva.

Il 6 di Shawwal, verso mattina, il cadavere di Alauddin fu portato fuori dal Palazzo Rosso di Siri e fu sepolto in una tomba di fronte alla Jami Masjid (nel complesso del Qutb Minar).

Il secondo giorno dopo la morte, Kafur riunì a palazzo i principali nobili e ufficiali e presentò un testamento del defunto Sultano che aveva fatto eseguire a favore di Malik Shihabuddin Omar, togliendo a Khizr Khan la carica di erede.

Con il consenso dei nobili mise Shihabuddin sul trono, ma poiché il nuovo sovrano era un bambino di soli cinque o sei anni, era un semplice fantoccio nelle mani degli intrallazzatori. Lo stesso Malik Kafur assunse la direzione del governo.

Hoysaleshwara Temple is a 12th-century Shaivite temple. It is unique for the richness, finesse and beauty of the carved friezes that adorn its exterior walls.

The stunning architectural style and grandeur of the temple add to its mystique and classifies it as one of the most unique stone-carved monuments in the world.

When Vishnuvardhana (1108-1142 CE) defeated the Cholas in 1116 CE, he commemorated the seminal victory by building a grand temple. The temple was built on the banks of a large man-made lake and was completed in 1160 CE during the reign of Narasimha I (1142-1173 CE).

Somewhere in the middle of the 13th century, the Hoysala kingdom was divided between two brothers, Narasimha III who ruled from Dwarasamudra and Ramanatha from Kannanur. The final blow came in the form of Malik Kafur, a general of Alauddin Khilji who invaded south India in the 14th century.

In 1326 CE another Delhi Sultanate army of Sultan Muhammad bin Tughlaq plundered the temples of Belur and Halibedu and it became a near-ruin for many years thereafter. The capital was abandoned and the site became known as “Halebidu” (literally, “old camp or capital”). As Dwarasamudra was attacked the king fled to Tiruvannamalai, and died in Madurai in 1343 CE while fighting the Sultanate invaders. It is said the cruel end to the grand dynasty came when “the captured king was slain and skinned, his skin was stuffed with straw and hung from the top of the walls of Madurai.” Ibn Battuta, the Moroccan traveller who was in the court of Muhammad bin Tughluq, the reigning Sultan at the time, records this. Dwarasamudra and its temples became ruins, the capital abandoned.

The Chennakesava Temple at Belur was built as a Vaishnava temple. The Hoysaleswara temple was constructed during the same period by the Shaivas to compete with the Chennakesava Temple.

The carved banded plinths, a distinguishing characteristic of all Hoysala temples, comprise a series of horizontal courses that run as rectangular mouldings around the temple, with narrow recesses between them.

More than 340 large reliefs depicting the complete Hindu pantheon, which run all along the outer walls.

The Nandis are huge, monolithic sculptures, each beautifully adorned with garlands of flowers, jewellery and small bells. The Nandi shrines are also exquisitely decorated with intricate carvings and lathe-polished columns. The roofs have their own detailed artwork engraved in stone.

I love the trope— 'King and their Strategist lover'

What do you get when you mix Jim Sarbh's Malik Kafur with Jim Sarbh's Homi Bhabha?

A Desi Lestat de Lioncourt of course.

@mr-dickalambo Say, how’d you like to see Mr. Sarbh as a slutty gay vampire? ​

[mr-dickalambo]

The Jim Sarbh effect states that in any piece of media, the character played by Jim sarbh will almost always have more chemistry with the fellow male characters than their respective female love interests.

Example: Padmavat,Rocket Boys

[kingweaslee]

I wish someone would make a good movie/tv show/whatever telling Malik Kafur's story, like just an honest effort at telling the journey of the first known openly lgbt person in India's history with sympathy and respect and not as a homophobic caricature and plot device

Padmaavati and/or Mehrunnisa for the Panchakanya meme?

Ahalya

an important first for them || deception || disguise || something they waited for || kill two birds with one stone

Jalaluddin Khilji’s chief wife has borne only a single daughter, Mehrunissa. She has no son to her name, only haughtiness and pride and sheer grit, but still she is the Sultana of the zenana, the wife whose advice is most favored, the one accorded the title Empress of the World. She is a woman to be feared, and she looks to be shaping her daughter to be as fierce a lady-- but illness claims Malika-e-Jahan before her daughter’s tenth birthday, and any zest that may have been within Mehru.

Draupadi

one grudge they held || favorite hairstyle || baptism of fire || five finger discount || one big change that they wrought

Her father had been hesitant about allowing her marriage to his avaricious, irreverent nephew, and after Alauddin commits adultery and murder on their wedding night, the Emperor outright offers to have the union dissolved. “There is no shame in choosing the path of the khulla, Mehru beti” Jalaluddin reminds her, but Mehrunissa is still bright-eyed with hope, and convinced she can charm her husband away from the path of lust.

Doubt creases his forehead, but he says nothing more on the matter. Years later, Mehru wishes that Jalaluddin had been less indulgent and more stern a father, and she knows that she would have thanked him for it, were he still alive.

Sita

friends are the family we choose for ourselves || green thumb || captive audience || no good deed goes unpunished || true blue

Mehrunissa is famously even-tempered -- years of being Alauddin’s wife taught her she needed to kill her anger, lest it consume her -- but she wants to scream when Ratan Singh insists on meeting with the Emperor before leaving, announcing his escape as a peacock struts its feathers. She is a stranger to him, yet she has risked her life to help him, and he is happy to waste her sacrifice, not even speaking of his loyal wife who walked into enemy territory to save him.

The King of Mewar, it seems, is as fine a husband as Mehru’s own Alauddin.

Tara

one prediction they made || communal cup || one injury/wound/illness they healed or cured || on the tail end || keen acumen

Time is slipping so fast through her fingers, and she will soon lose her royal title and her freedom -- yet Mehrunissa considers it well worth it to have seen the Queen of Chittor limned in moonlight, to have felt her fingers on hers and to have seen the lift of her chin.

She is not so different from Alauddin after all. Risking everything for Sinhala’s Padmavati apparently runs in the Khilji bloodline.

Mandodari

frog in boiling water || mother lode || hospitality in a time of war || one time they intervened || labor of love

Alauddin’s eyes stray to Malik Kafur’s lithe form, swanning and sashaying around the court.

Mehru gazes upon the feast she spent four hours preparing with her own hands, waving away the services of their cooks.

Her husband’s ears crave Kafur’s innuendos and inflections and incisive wit.

Mehrunissa closes her ears to the bustling of the world and listens for the adhan, the call to praise Allah.

The Sultan’s limbs lock in a frenetic dance with the General’s, the energy of their cavorting shaking the high arches of the ceiling.

The Sultana sews the tears and rips in the Imperial doublets, and whenever she pricks a finger, her needlework alters not one beat in its rhythm and blood stiffens the fabric without intervention.

“The perfume,” his new owner asks. “What is the name?”

“Jannat-ul-Firdaus,” he answers.

Yes, Alauddin will take it all. Now only from the captured Marhatta slave, but from every man, every soul, from mountains and skies and all the rivers flowing from each and every city. He watches as the governor becomes the Sultan, and laughs with joy he has never produced before. It is freeing, almost.

- The first years Malik is in Alauddin's court, and his last ones.
