Padmavati The Film

What are the sangats thoughts on this film because I thought it is a film that all Sikhs should watch.

Its a great depiction of the Islamic rule in India during the times of the Gurus and also gives an insight into The Rajput caste.  It's very informative with spiritual teachings and the art of warfare

it is based on a poem by a muslim Malik Mohammed Jayasi , yes Quilji was a historical character and there was an attack on Chittor  however the poem is more a metaphor on the state of the soul rather than an actual war for the queen of Chittor. Who actually committed jahaur with her sister wives prior to the fall of the citadel . Quilji never saw the queen this is the imaginings of the poet/director

 This is a recent trend in India by mainly Muslims and liberal Hindu historians to deny atrocities by Muslim rulers. The denial of the story of Padmini or Padmavati is a perfect example of this. They say this because the poet Jaisi wrote about this story hundreds of years after the event occurred. But they fail to take into consideration that this is how Indian history was generally recorded. First the heroic event takes place, then it is remembered and passed down orally from generation to generation until it is eventually recorded in written form as a qissa/qasida by a poet.

 

The denial of Padmavati is not the only example. Liberal Hindu historians like Ram Puniyani has completely white washed the atrocities of Aurangzeb. Listen to his bias views of why atrocities were committed on the family of Guru Gobind Singh Jee. He completely changes history and presents Aurangzeb as an amazingly liberal secular ruler
