Mughal General –
What nonsense is this? You, like a eunuch, are keeping n woman in the fort in the hope that she will come to your aid… This man is the son of his Majesty the Emperor, Jalal al-Din Muhammad Akbar, at whose court many kings do service. Do you imagine that the crows and kites of the Deccan, who squat like ants or locusts over a few spiders, can cope with the descendant of Timur and his famous amirs- the Khan-i Khanan and Shahbaz Khan, for example – each of whom has conquered countries ten times as large as the Deccan? … You, who are men of the same race as ourselves, should not throw yourselves away for no purpose.
Afzal Khan –
For forty years I have eaten the salt of the sultans of the Deccan…There is no better way to die than to be slain for one’s benefactor. thereby obtaining an everlasting good name…Moreover, it should bc evident to you that the people of this country are hostile toward Westerners. I myself am a Westerner and a well-wisher of the emperor, and I consider it to be in his interest to withdraw the Prince’s great amirs from the neighbourhood of this fort.
