As most of you write books on Karna. This is not really a story writing. There are some cut and paste of few information since it has to be accurate. This story is not just a story,but also highly accurate! It's a true written profile about karna. It's just a brief introduction and basic information about the Mahabharata warrior- the unsung hero of Mahabharata : SURYAPUTRA KARNA.

This fictional story is set back in the year 1626 during the Mughal Sultanate in India. The story is mainly based on the powerful Mughal Empress, Nur Jahan, who was the twentieth wife of the fourth Mughal Emperor-Jahangir. This story is about how Nur Mahal(name given to her by Jahangir) once saved Jahangir from the rebel king Mahabat Khan. Nur Jahan was born as Mehrunnisa to Mirza Ghias Beg and Asmat Begum, who were refugees from Persia and came to India to improve their fortunes. She was born on 31st May, 1577 and was the second daughter and fourth child of the family. She had a love affair with Crown Prince Salim(later Emporer Jahangir), but was married to Sher Afgan(aka Ali Quli was made the jagirdar of Burdwan in West Bengal by Jahangir) by Akbar. Sher Afgan was killed by Jahangir for treachery. Some rumours say that Jahangir did so as he was in love with Mehrunnisa and wanted to marry her. After Sher Afgan's death, Mehrunnisa fled from Bengal to the royal zenana(the women quarters of the palace). After four years, she eventually married Jahangir. Her father served under Akbar as the treasurer of Kabul; and also under Jahangir where he rose to power because of her daughter. Her brother, Abul Asaf Khan was loyal general who served under Jahangir. Nur Jahan also arranged for her daughter Ladli to marry Jahangir's youngest son, Shahryar and her niece Arjumand Banu Begum (later known as Mumtaz Mahal) to marry Prince Khurram (the third son of Jahangir and the future Emperor Shah Jahan). Jahangir's affection and trust of Nur Jahan led to her wielding a great deal of power in affairs of state. Jahangir's addiction to opium and alcohol made it easier for Nur Jahan to exert her influence. For many years, she effectively wielded imperial power and was recognized as the real force behind the Mughal throne. Now let's begin with the story.

Along with Kashibai Peshwe this story is dedicated to all women who remained gracious in the face of heartbreak! The Peshwa wife, who was destined to live in the shadow of her husband Bajirao's achievements and valour, remained a faithful and stoic consort. She had no choice but to remain confined to the domestic arena which was presided over by her mother-in-law Radhabai while her husband expanded the Maratha Empire. There was public outrage over the growing influence of Mastani on Peshwa Bajirao and his decision-making. Kashibai had to endure her husband's growing neglect due to his obsession for Mastani. While he indulged in hedonistic pleasure with his lover Kashibai was left to face the ire of his mother and the orthodox Brahmin society of the time. Historians and playwrights have sung hosannas to the tragic Bajirao-Mastani romance, depicting it in novels, plays and films. None of them bothered to do justice to the suffering of his wife Kashi, instead wrongly accusing her of having participated in the torment of the lovers. Even the recent Bollywood film on the subject failed to highlight how Kashi nurtured and raised her stepson Samsher Bahadur after the demise of Bajirao-Mastani. This piece of work is an endeavour to set the record straight and give Kashibai Peshwe her due.

Lemuria is the name of a hypothetical "lost land" variously located in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. It is something similar to Atlantis.The concept's 19th-century origins lie in attempts to account for discontinuities in biogeography; however, the concept of Lemuria has been rendered obsolete by modern theories of plate tectonics.Though Lemuria is no longer considered a valid scientific hypothesis, it has been adopted by writers involved in the occult, as well as some Tamil writers of India. Accounts of Lemuria differ, but all share a common belief that a continent existed in ancient times and sank beneath the ocean as a result of a geological, often cataclysmic, change, such as pole shift.

I DO NOT own the translation or the original work, and am not using it for any profit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guide To Pronunciation : Some of the names in the narrative have the tamil 'zh' letter, which is to be pronounced in a sort of a 'ya' sense. Your tongue should work so as to pronounce 'la', but the sound is somewhat like 'ya'.
