Whenever a Hindu Rajput talks about the betrayal of a Mughal, some Mughal lovers try to silence him by taking the name of Jodhabai! It is told how Jodha accepted Akbar's subordination or married him!

All those historians have mentioned only 5 wives of Akbar!  1.Saleema Sultan 2.Mariam ud Zamani 3.Razia Begum 4.Qasim Banu Begum 5.Bibi Daulat Shad Akbar himself did not mention his marriage to any Hindu queen even in his autobiography Akbarnama.

Qutbuddin Aibak, the first ruler of the Slave dynasty in the Delhi Sultanate, died due to a fall from a running horse as per what documented History states. But is it really possible that a general who rode a horse for the first time at the age of 11 and fought countless battles on horseback could die after falling from a running horse? Real History vs. False Fabrication When Qutbuddin Aibak plundered Rajputana, he killed the king of Mewar and captured Prince Karan Singh. Along with the looted property and the prince, he also took the prince's horse "Shubhrak" to Lahore. In Lahore Karan Singh tried to escape and was caught in the process. Qutbuddin ordered his beheading and to add insult to injury ordered a polo match to be played using the dead prince's head as a ball.
