It is said that heard melodies are sweet but those unheard are sweeter.Often times while focusing on what is being told to us we forget to look for things that are left untouched,some stories from past that are beautiful enough to be narrated and told but often ignored.One such story,about which i will be writing about is the story of emperor akbar and his favourite wife empress Ruqaiya sultan begam. This story revolves around emperor akbar and his Chief queen w and empress who ruled hindustan with might,courage,honesty and justice and his main consort who ruled his harem with her wit,loyality and kindness.This is the story of the emperor and empress of the great land of hindustan.

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.
