A resplendent Shah Jahan looks majestically out of a Mughal miniature painting. He is depicted in profile, standing atop a globe with Rajput king Jujhar Singh Bundela kneeling before him.
Defeated by Shah Jahanâs forces early in 1629, the conquest was immortalised by Mughal court painter Bichitr. Years later, this painting and many others would be recreated by Dutch artist Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn in a very different manner.
Not just Jujhar Singh Bundela kneeling before the Shah Jahan, his recreations included a painting of Emperor Jahangir receiving an officer, an interaction between Shah Jahan and Dara Shikoh and many others. Many of them were made using brown ink and gray wash with scratchwork on Japanese paper.

“You want to understand how power works in any society, watch who is carrying the shame and who is doing the shaming.” Shailja Patel
Growing up, I was taught all kinds of myths about Black women. I was taught, on the playground, in Disney films and from the
Generations soapie that women are delicate things, that women are unambitious and are happiest waiting for men. That Black women who worked were lesser women who could not attract a man. I was taught that women were bad, that Eve created sin, that when women menstruate, their presence rots the meat, curds the milk and curses the people they may be around. That, when women masturbate, birds come to the windowsill to whistle “Lovin’ You” by Minnie Riperton. That girls have cooties. That the pursuit of women will bring you nothing but misery.
