A Hindu queen’s Muslim ship hijacked by a Christian pirate in India
The seasonal monsoon has started in the Mecca port of Mocha. The port was busy with the rustling of merchants trying to sell and buy goods among the noise. With a massive sound of the horn, the largest ship in the Red Sea gave a goodbye to the port. The horn sound will be her last call of the port as she will burn to ashes in the port of Goa in a few months. Name of the ship is Rahimi, and she is about to change the history of the world
Background:
Rahimi is the flagship of the Empress of India Jodha Bhai, Wife of Akbar. During the Mughal period, women of the royal family are allowed to trade in their private life. The trade increased the wealth of the women in Haram of Mughal court. Future Mughal kings nurtured in the Haram. The royal women are given unique, expensive, exotic gifts by merchants to have their grace to influence the Mughal king
Mughals never really believed in navy power or holding a sea fleet to defend them. The strategy is due to the reason that their origin is from modern-day Afghanistan, which is landlocked. Due to this blunder, Mughals were starting to lose their dominance on the coastal regions of India after the arrival of European colonial powers.
