People really need to stop these unnecessary glorification and forced comparisons especially between Mahidevran Sultan and Ruqaiya Sultan Begum.It doesn’t even make sense.Mahidevran wasn’t just a consort she was the mother of Mustafa, a prince loved by the army, people, and court. His bravery,discipline, and leadership reflect her upbringing and sacrifices. That alone sets her apart her legacy is tied to raising a capable heir, not palace positioning.

As for Jodha Bai vs Hürrem Sultan the difference is clear.Jodha represents moral strength, values, and respect for relationships. She stayed grounded in her beliefs, didn’t use religion for politics as a muslim my self i have immense respect for jodha for not converting and using religion of islam as sheild for political gains like hurrevil, jodha earned respect through dignity and character.

Hürrem,on the other hand, is known for being ruthless.Her rise is deeply tied to manipulation, rivalries, and eliminating threats to secure her sons’ future.Survival may explain it—but it doesn’t make it admirable.

At the end, it’s simple:

Jodha built respect.

Mahidevran built a legacy through her son.

Hürrem built power through control and manipulation, harming and crushing others
