The Diary-5
1879 Words
"What happened next", I asked curiously.
"Although Sir Thomas Roe had a good friendship with the emperor, but the biggest reason he was reluctant to trade with the British was that England was a small, unpredictable island and the emperor considered trading with it against his pride.
Sir Thomas Roe kept all these things in his diary, but Sir Thomas Roe did not give up, he used to make the emperor realize this.
That he is right but for business and for growth factories (warehouses) are very important, in the name of the queen", the commander added.
The reason why the emperor did not trade with England was also that the Mughal emperor considered only the Safawi emperor of Iran and the Ottoman Caliph as his rival in the whole world. To make an equal level agreement with a minor emperor was against his pride.
Sir Thomas Roe did three years of hard work, diplomatic gimmicks and gifts, not only with Jahangir, but from Wali Ahad Shah Jahan, exactly three hundred years before today, in August 1618, an agreement was signed, under which this company got permission to do business freely in Surat.But before that a lot of hard work had to be done, Sir Thomas Roe also wrote in his diary that on the one hand the people are poor and unemployed, on the other hand the emperor is leading a luxurious life.
The Maharaja says that all the wealth was looted from them. The emperor and his ancestors have almost emptied the Hindu king Maharaja's ancestor's treasury. Takes tax on everything even his holy place is taxed.From The Diary of Thomas Roe.The subject matter on the subject is not understood.The condition of the people of India from the business world is in such a situation. Jobs and employees working in the job - entered. People of India were quite happy will start the way it started. The happiness of the people of India in the recent past of the East India Company.
It was he who was later overturned. In 1623 Khurram revolted. Because Noor Jahan was trying to make her Son in law 'Nagar Yaar,' Wali Ahad.
Finally in 1627, the father and son reconciled.
Jahangir was married several times.
His most famous wife was Nur Jahan.
Who was the widow of a rebel officer Sher Afghan.
Jahangir died on 7 November 1627 due to illness.
He was going from Kashmir to Lahore at the time of his death.
The third son of Jahangir was the most successful whose name was Khurram.
Shah Jahan's childhood name was Khurram.
After the death of Jahangir on 24 February 1928, Shah Jahan ascended the throne.
The initial three years were spent in suppressing the rebellion of Jujhar Singh of Bundela and the Afghan chief Khan Jahan Lodi.
Shah Jahan also had a fight with the sixth Guru of the Sikhs, Har Gobind Singh, in which the Sikh army was defeated.
Shah Jahan was married to Arjuman Banu Begum, daughter of Asaf Khan. Which was later named Mumtaz Mahal.
In 1633, Shah Jahan conquered South India. Ahmednagar invaded the city and made it a part of the Mughal Empire.
A few years later, in 1636, he attacked Golconda, where the then Sultan Abdullah Shah had to face defeat.
Abdullah Shah accepted the suzerainty of the Mughals.
In the meantime, Mir Jumla, the vazier of Abdullah Shah, presented Shah Jahan the priceless diamond Kohinoor, "The commander was telling but I could not stop when I heard the name of Kohinoor.
I interrupted him in the middle of the story "What happened to the Kohinoor diamond, just tell me more", I asked with great curiosity.
"Why did your eyes go round on hearing the name of Kohinoor, Professor ", the commander sarcastically quipped, Shah Jahan built a special throne for himself. It took a craftsman named Syed Geelani and his team of artisans took some seven years to build this throne. Several kilos of gold was overlaid on this throne, it was decorated with many gems.
This throne was named Takht-e-Mursa.
Later it came to be known as 'Peacock Throne.'
Babar's diamond was also plated in it.
Jewelers from all over the world used to come to see this throne.
One of these was the Hortenso Borgia of the city of Venice.
Emperor Aurangzeb gave it to Borgia to enhance the luster of the diamond.
Borgia acted so clumsily that he broke the diamond piece by piece.
It was reduced to just 186 carats instead of 793 carats... Aurangzeb had in fact given the task of carving a diamond from a piece of Kohinoor to Borgia secretly and part of the same Kohinoor was mounted in the wall of Shah Jahan's prison, with the help of which he used to see the Taj Mahal.
Well this is a later thing, the most important thing is how Aurangzeb made Shah Jahan a prisoner and how this diamond and the treasure you got came to the British government, in the name of queen, now we will tell the rest of the story tomorrow, in the morning
It's time for our rest, you guys have survived tonight... Bloody i***t, just don't know where that torso of mine is, you and Doctor got saved tonight, but won't be tomorrow ", Commander said along and fell silent. There was confidence in his voice.
As soon as the commander fell silent, I understood that there was no danger to sleep. After listening to the story all night, I was also tired so I slept.
"Wake up brother, it's morning, it's morning, hey brother, it's morning", I opened my eyes and saw Dr. Zakir standing in front of him.
The doctor said again "hey this morning at 12:00 do you know what happened".
I asked "what happened", rubbing my eyes as most people do when they wake up.
"Yesterday the body of that British officer was patrolling out of the tent, because he could not see anything desperate little one was walking around outside the camp, last night a man on guard picked me up and then told all the things, came out of the tent and saw that the monsieur was sitting with the same guards.
They were all talking comfortably but there was no accident due to lack of hearing.
You were right that all the strength of that living corpse is in his head”, said Dr. Zakir, holding me on my shoulders and looking at me.
I also started smiling for a few moments and then said "let's go, the danger is averted".
"What happened to you yesterday, after all you were with his most dangerous part", asked Dr Zakir, looking at me curiously.
"Nothing much happened, I just broke my sleep and saw that red light was coming out from the key place of that box, now there is no separate lock in the box. It was specially made for treasure or precious jewelry and
The head of the British officer was making a sound of his body. He was very angry but was unable to hear the voices of us humans", I lied to Dr. Zakir because I had to find out the one who opened the commander's head to the chest.
It was taken out of the cloth bag and kept in the box like this.
That's when the light was shining so brightly and its voice could be heard without suppressing it, usually when someone is covered with a thick cloth bag or sheet, the sound is heard suppressed.
Although Dr. Zakir was beyond my doubt and I know him very well, he is also my good friend and if he had to cheat, he would not have given my share of diamonds in advance, it was useless to doubt him.
"Okay, now freshen up, eat and drink something, we will leave by 11:00, then cross the hill and reach the village by 6:00 pm today. Staying there tonight, tomorrow morning in the trains, coming down from the mountains, the way to the highway
Will catch you, I had already arranged to stay in the village, will stay in the vacant bungalows of the same headman in which he had stayed before climbing”, Dr. Zakir told me and left the tent.
When I opened that box as soon as he left, I saw that my suspicion was correct, the commander's head was kept like this without a cloth bag.
Then I closed that box and looked at the diamond wallet and everything was fine.
I kept those diamonds in my suitcase and locked them.
Got out of the tent to freshen up.
Team members were preparing breakfast.
I washed my hands with the water kept in the bucket outside the tent and shouted to a member of the team to send breakfast inside.
After breakfast all the goods were loaded on the horses.
After packing everything up we were ready to start the journey.
Today was a high and dangerous hill to climb with the horses.
Although the hills were not very high, but being rocky is a problem with the horses, especially when you have heavy luggage and we had many horses carrying treasure boxes and sacks.
Even before coming to the hill, Doctor Zakir came to me and said, "Professor, you are a learned horseman, then you will have to climb the hill with your horses first, then after stopping on the hill, the horses coming back will have to climb them with great care,
Once climbed, there will be no problem in descending again.
I told the doctor "don't worry, I will climb them comfortably on the hill".
As soon as I came to the hill, I started with my horses to lead the team, I first mounted my horses with great care, then stopped and raised the horses of all the members of the team, I went on giving directions to the members of the team
That was how to hold them in the right way, taking all the horses up the hill one by one and then taking them down very carefully.
Horses are very smart animals, if the horseman is good then he can get them to do a lot.
Horses can climb the mountains very well even after loading the weight, they just need a guide giving them the right direction.
As soon as we reached the village, we all went straight to the village leader bungalow, the leader had three houses in the village, in one he himself lived and in the other two bungalows he had arranged for the passengers to stay.
Now travelers did not come often, but still they used to earn good money from these bungalows.
There was also arrangement for the food and drink of the passengers, which the headman used to get made by the women of his family.
The funny thing was that village leader had done four marriages but all the women lived together without fighting.
As soon as we reached the bungalow, Dr. Zakir and I carefully kept our belongings in our rooms.
We were quite tired, so it was necessary to rest for a while to straighten the waist,I lay down on the bed.
