yes its true, i think jodha was creation of ashutosh govarikar, because i myself think that no girl can accept forced marriage like that. And there has been more mentions abt ruqqaiya in ain-e-akbari

But he took advice from his cousin and first wife Ruqaiah Begum and Jehangir and Shah Jahan also were brought up under her guidance.
yeah you said it all, ruqqaiya was the most important of all, and akbar even mentioned that he feels guilt of having many wives, he must have been with his first wife and would have taken over monogamy.. And as i already mentioned even jahangir calls jodha as his father's wife.. He doesn't regard her as his mother

Jehangir respected his mother a lot if you read Jehangir's autobiography in english but he took advice from Ruqaiah and speaks very fondly of his step mother.
as far as i read the extracts i found that he mentions jodha as his father's mother, there has been no great mentions of jodha in tuzuk-e-jahangiri

One version is that Harka Bhai(Jodha's real name) or Mariam ul Zumani hated Akbar because he had defeated Rajputs andshe was forced in this marriage.
i can expect this to be true because akbar forced her for this marriage. Had she really never accepted akbar then its really a pride.. Because no woman can accept forced marriages

Jehangir was lost between his parents conflicts and hence he was very close to his grand mom Hamida and step mom Ruqaiah and also Salima.
really? Pls tell me more about it. I love history and i would like to know. I too feel that there might be reasons for his closeness to ruqqaiya, and i'm convinced by what you said

In the book he also speaks very fondly of his three brothers andmentions manyof his sisters. All his brothers and sisters were either his half brothers or step brothers/sisters.There seems to be norivalry between Salim and his brothers for throne like in later generations.
If you visitTaj Mahal etcyou get to see potraits of him sitting and watching elephant races with his brothers etc.Jodha Bai is actuallyJehangir's first wife and mother of Shah Jahan.In the book you also find he is a naturalist and more interested in observing nature, anthrologist and animals etc.
