Gowarikar has clearly played mischief with history. He himself has confessed that he has relied on what has been written by the historians of the Mughal court. These so called historians were in the pay of Akbar and could only glorify Akbar.

The facts mentioned in Rajput sources point out that Akbar had by deceit captured the two Prince_brothers of Jodhabai. Akbar had threatened that they will be killed if the daughter of the House of the Amber King was not given to him. To save her brothers Jodhabai sacrified her life. This history has been quoted from Rajput sources in a Voice of India book, the publishers of many books by Arun Shourie, Seetaram Goyal, Dr K. Lal, and others.
