@Sushmitha988 I agree that I can edit small things in the chapter once I post it (and I've definitely done so previously) but in this chapter, we diverge from the canon which guarantees BIG changes depending on how I plan the future of the story. 
            (Basically, I have to make a decision and I'm having a hard time deciding/choosing between two big options; and sticking to that decision because both approaches have their pros and cons.) 
            Also, good job at catching me and the changes I've made in Fitoori after posting. ❤️
            They are nothing big, just minor additions but yes, I've definitely changed a few things.

@lkdaswani oh that’s great to hear .But just a doubt if you keep on changing ,then you will never be satisfied.There is always an option to edit the chapter once you upload,if you don’t like anything about it or not satisfied.I have seen you edited some parts of the previous chapters since I have read multiple times .Just a thought that you could post the chapter for now and can edit in future as editing it too many times makes you confused and unsatisfied but it is upto you

Long time no update author
          Since my comment is a big one,it will have two parts. Sorry I didn't get to comment (which would have obviously been a praise of your writing skills) on the last chapter you updated,although I had red the chapter some weeks after you uploaded it.  
          Part 1-
          One thing is clear for sure, your writing is so artful that each time I read it, I discover something new hidden in the story, which I hadn't noticed before. 
          Also I would request you to upload the next part as soon as possible. 
          But there are some particular things in the story that I am really confused about,things that I thought about in my last reading (I suppose would be 27th time I have re read the entire story). 
          Firstly Jalal is a muslim, and according to Islam, no one can be avatar of God, so how can Jalal be a muslim after being avatar of Shiva, or the other way round. 
          Also, in my view, this Shiva - Parvati avatar stuff, I don't think suits these two characters or the story, It would just make them two stereotypical shadows of two higher beings, and the plot would feel as if "it is meant to be" instead of "being in its own accord".
          Also many parts of the story sound utterly superficial and devoid of emotions or connection to reality. The story is very artfully written but does not talk abt or show deep emotional connections. It is like the bollywood hero who never gets shot from the villain's AK-47. 
          Fourthly, whatever events happen in the story, they are attributed to either of the two main characters, this undermines the role and development of other characters in the story.

Quite interesting,this is where you have the patriarchal soceity, queen's consort would mean only one, that is her husband, but kings ( except in Christianity) could take up as many consorts ( wives and concubines) as they like

@Harshdoval Hahah, yeah sometimes I feel like Fitoori has a mind of it's own- this current chapter that I am writing (the next update) you won't believe, I have changed that chapter so so many times because nothing FELT right but finally I think I have written this chapter and it feels right (or at least parts of it do.) 
            
            We'll see where this story takes itself. 
            
            Thank you for the heaps of praise, this story would be nothing without its readers. ❤️
            
            Hahaha, I don't think any example could fit the dynamics I've created for Jodha and Jalal in Fitoori. 
            Like you rightly said, KIngs never married Queens, they married Princesses. Queens took up consorts rather than marry Kings- this fact will play a huge role in the future. That Queen could take up a consort, in the future chapters.

Hmmmmm, yes in such a case a carefully drafted document of treaty can resolve the case between both parties, if jalal oversteps his boundaries, then gondwana declares the alliance null and void and the marriage as well, really good and important move!! However rajputana part is different though, for once you are a mansabdar, you don't have absolute right over your kingdom, your are just the tax collector who is awarded the mansab/jagir as fief, and you are given the title of raja/maharaj/ similar titles related to your fief, the mughal emperor can easily take away your land and give you another in compensation. This system is what gondwana doesn't fall into because it's independent. 
            Last but not the least, Randeep is quite the donkey to have permitted such a document to be created and brought to effect, he should have stopped it vehemently.
            Well, let's see what fate has in store for the characters. 
            Thanks a lot author
