PADMAAVAT WINS ITS TRIAL BY FIRE PADMAAVAT STORY: Rani Padmavati (Deepika Padukone) – the wife of Maharawal Ratan Singh (Shahid Kapoor), is known for her beauty and valour in 13th century India. She captures the fancy of the reigning Sultan of Delhi, the tyrant Alauddin Khilji (Ranveer Singh), who becomes obsessed with her and goes to great lengths to fulfill his greed. PADMAAVAT REVIEW: Based on a Sufi poem of the same name written in 1540 by Malik Muhammad Jayasi, Sanjay Leela Bhansali has added his own flair and interpretation to ‘Padmaavat’, giving it a fairy-tale sheen. This makes all the controversy pointless, and pale in comparison to the spectacle that unfolds. Bhansali reunites with two of his favourite leads in recent times – Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, but adds Shahid Kapoor to complete this trio of commendable acting talent. Shahid is steadfast and unflappable as Maharawal Ratan Singh – the ruler of Mewar, brimming with Rajput pride. He brings a regal aura to the character that warrants him winning the confidence and loyalty of the Mewar kingdom and more importantly, Rani Padmavati’s heart. Deepika is radiant as the Rajput Queen whose beauty, brains and valour moves the entire plot along once Alauddin Khilji becomes obsessed with her. Padmavati’s allure beyond the superficial is prominent post-interval, when her character comes to life and she gets to showcase her acting range. Ranveer as Alauddin Khilji is seen as an unhinged, barbaric Sultan, who is c...

The fabled and now controversial Rani Padmavati, the woman who protected the honour of the Rajputs after the siege of Chittor in 1303, did so by committing jauhar – or jumping into a pit of fire to avoid being raped and captured by the invading army. Rajputs’ strong sense of honour made Padmavati take the drastic step of self-immolation, so that the victory of Alauddin Khilji, the powerful ruler of the Khilji dynasty of Delhi Sultanate, would have been a hollow one, for there would be no royal women left for him and his army to enslave. Being captured and raped by enemies was unconscionable to Rajput women, who upon getting word that their armies had lost, would voluntarily jump into flames and commit jauhar to avoid capture. Historians have even touted the practice as being a precursor to the practice of sati, as Margaret P Battin noted in her book Ethics of Suicide. The wives of the warriors would take their children and jump into the fire after being faced with defeat. It’s also believed that the women would don their bridal attire before stepping into the flames. The term jauhar is the loose Arabic translation of the Persian word jivhar, which means gem, jewel and merit, as noted by John S Hawley in his book Women chose to burn themselves for the sake of preserving royal lineage and defending territory, as Hawley also noted in his book. Fire is also a symbol associated with purity, which is why these rituals were performed. The fundamental difference between jauhar and...
