For the last time, if I hear someone calling Kamran "a snake" or Askari "a shadow" or Hindal "an angel" and Humayun "a uwu weak baby" ---- it's 2024 now, please don't get stuck to the narratives constructed as if they are your holy Bible and must be followed word to word. Analyse the sources critically, try to gauge the motivation behind it, question, who wrote it, for whom, why was it written, what was meant to be conveyed, how can it be contextualized? Please, for the last time.

Reblog this and tell me in the notes what you are currently reading and what you think of it so far

#so most of my readings are academic based but im loving it so much it feels as refreshing as story books #might be because i love my historical blorbos sm #so first up is muntakhabu-t tawarikh by badaoni (eng translation) and its hilarious #like this man hates most of the things is very critical and bigoted but his humor makes up for everything #like one time he wore a beard longer than should be expected and one person tried to say 'a short beard does not become you'#and our man replied 'thats the barber's shortcoming not mine'#the said person who was scolding badaouni for short beard later trimmed off his entire face and Badaouni had a jab at this #then there is the book 'a political biography of Kamran Mirza'#I've barely started but it's about Kamran! I loveee Kamran sm. Man is a charming prince excellent poet a great commander call about the dua #Also a while ago I finished Emergence of the Delhi Sultanate and it's the most brilliant history book #and thanks to it now i have a clear idea about the dynamic beginning of the Sultanate as well as a favourite historian (Sunil Kumar)#and a clear idea about how to conduct research and analyse for my internal assessments

while i do understand that Rasa did give Gaara a traumatic childhood, as a history student i cant really help but feel for Rasa as well. This man had the pressure of a whole economically drained terrain on his shoulders, his wife died at childbirth when he was what? 27 barely? his council deemed his son as a failure, his son was going on rampage and killing his village, and the fate of his village was hanging by a thread

and i don't even want to think about the nights he might have spent mourning his wife and blaming himself for being a failure, a failed husband, a failed father, a failed ruler, because he was obviously tortured by guilt when he was reincarnated

did he commit mistakes? yes. did he make his children's childhood traumatic? yes. but do i understand why he did what he did? obviously yes. he had so few choices at hand, none feasible enough to sustain the barren desert economy. moreover, the kazekage clan is so much like a historical royal clan you can't really judge it according to modern parameters.

Rasa's character is also so tragic, i love the depth and complexity of it and also the dilemmas and duties a king had to face, duties as a single father of three children, duties as a ruler of a barren economy, you can't really just label him as "he was an asshole father" as a shallow statement

#can i frame your tags your honor? you are absolutely right #best tags ever in this post

#rasa #naruto analysis #reading rasa like a historical character is my new favourite hobby #and honestly? compare him to other rulers #akbar pitted his grandson against his son #jahangir blinded his rebel son #shah jahan and aurangzeb had their brothers killed #and i can give like a thousand examples of royal family conflict its not strange its so much part of real life #and rasa might have been a bad father but at least his kingdom survived #his crumbling village #man even used his gold dust release to assisst the economy #in this house we don't stand rasa hate sorry
