The myth of Jodha Akbar is FAKE.
Akbar had 300 wives.
His harem, including the wives & concubines, had a strength of 5000.
Akbar married Rajput princesses from pretty much every region of rajputana (except Mewar).
NO JODHA BAI is mentioned ANYWHERE among wives & concubines https://twitter.com/MonaDarlingx/status/1249662201209577472

Infact, it was NOT Akbar but his SON Jahangir who had a Rajput wife/concubine named Jagat Gosain.
She was from Jodhpur. Hence known as "Jodha Bai"!
She was named Taj Bibi Bilqis. And she was converted to Islam. She was buried like a Muslim and her grave is at Suhagpura, Agra

These romantic myths of Jodha-Akbar are not even found in one single source of Akbar or Jahangir.
These tales of Jodha are first found in the writings of James Todd(c.1820), a British colonial pseudo-Historian who also wrote many other such fantasies

"The official histories of Akbar were written in Persian and there is no mention of Queen Jodhabai.
There is no proof of her in history"-
