To defend himself, Shah Jahan used to say that, it was the privilege of a planter to taste the fruit of the tree he had planted. Akbar made this rule that the daughters of the Mughal dynasty would not marry. The result was that the girls of the Mughal dynasty illegally resorted to courtiers, servants as well as relatives and relatives even to satisfy their physical needs. When she was having sexual intercourse, Shah Jahan suddenly came into her room, fearing that the servant hid in the harem oven, Shah Jahan set fire to the oven and burnt him alive.
Shah Jahan died in Agra Fort on 22 January The Taj Mahal was originally a vedic temple. The Taj Mahal in reality is Tejo Mahalay. Note: The above information is sourced from Opindia Hindi website.

He is an avid book reader as well. Heer offers Ranjha a job as caretaker of her father's cattle. This act of heer was commendable considering the job situation in the market even at that time. Although the salary offered to Ranjha is not mentioned, but he for sure was getting a packaged deal of job and love; thus mixing work with pleasure.
They used to meet each other secretly for many years until were caught by Heer's uncle, Kaido. The problem with luck is that it runs out one day. Ranjha instead of finding another similar job opportunity becomes a Jogi parasite to have an easy sailing. The story ends with heer poisoned by her uncle Kaido and Ranjha killing himself by poisoning himself.
This was pure suicide, nothing else. Instead of taking heer to the doctor to save her life, he preferred to end his own life for had he been married to her, his life would have been terrible considering heer's affluent background and her demands for a better cushy living. He already lost a job and could not find another; hence committing suicide was an easy way out.
Sassi-Punhun is a famous Sindhi folktale of love. The story is about a faithful wife do we still have around who is ready to undergo all kinds of troubles that would come her way while seeking her beloved husband Punhun.
Well she was not the Sassi of today's age who would have preferred to seek another wealthy husband instead of seeking her separated hubby.
What Punhun's family did not realize was that the washer man had a great future in waiting and one day could become the top designer in the country. Hence the brothers of Punhun intoxicated him during the marriage function with wine not-soft drinks and carried him away when he got totally drunk. The point to be noted here is that instead of being with Sassi during the marriage function, Punhun was having hell of time drinking liquor which is now prohibited in this land of the pure.
The next morning, when Sassi got up wonder how could she sleep on the wedding night without looking for her husband , she realized that she was cheated. She became mad with the grief of separation from her lover and ran barefoot towards the town of KechMakran where Punhun was taken. Had she been sensible, she should have worn nice shoes and taken a ride instead of running like a crazy women.
But maybe she was short of money or wanted to save them for her expected kids. She finally and understandably died of hunger and thirst. Punhun while trying to find her meets the same fate. The tale speaks more of stupidity than love. Then we have another tragic love story of Sohni-Mahniwal.
Here, the heroine Sohni, unhappily married as if happily married couples exist? This is a perfect example of a married women going astray and indulging in adultery. This also depicts the modernity prevalent at that time whereas the women were allowed to freely swim without having to worry about the moral ramifications.
One night her sister-in-law, must be a pious women, replaces the earthenware pot, which she uses to keep afloat in water, with a vessel of unbaked clay, which dissolves in water and she dies in the whirling waves of the river. In essence, she deserved to be drowned or even stoned to death had there existed the real Shariah. Mirza-Sahiban is another tale in which Mirza is sent to his relatives' house to study, where he meets Sahiban and they fall in love.
He was sent to study but instead started romanticism. When, later in life, Sahiban is to be wedded, Mirza sahib arrives during Sahiban's mehndi ceremony and carries her away. Nowadays we call it abduction.
