After much sweat, heat, anger and news reports we were finally able to stop any further insult to our ancestors. In Rajasthan, the insult never happened. It was in Delhi, as in the mughal period, the insult was hurled on the Rajput pride. Now, after a week of the insult, we have been able to stop the insults even in Madhya Pradesh. We are sure that this does not have anything to do with consolidation of Hindu vote bank in the crucial year of state elections. This is the right sentiment for a person who did something sinister - marrying his son's wife - uh we don't know, Hindu girl cannot be married to a Muslim boy, period. Moreover, we also strongly demand that the state government compensates us for the time, money wasted and mental strain that we underwent when we had to watch the movie first day to decide whether we should ask for a ban or not. Although the opening credits state that the narrative that follows is a "view of history" and not a legend, watch out for the "secularism" at display in the movie. The openness of Akbar gives space for the Hindu deities, and every villain is a devout Muslim. Jodhaa Akbar appeared to be story about contemporary India - like Akbar as a monogamous, uber-romantic ideal respectful of women in a way that confirms to 21st century norms.
Those of you who are still sulking and showing disrespect to our heritage, will enjoy this more than the movie.
