The centuries-old practice of Jauhar has returned to the spotlight after actor Swara Bhaskar revisited her criticism of the climax of Padmaavat. Swara questioned what the depiction of women entering the flames could communicate to rape survivors, while Uddhav Sena leader Priyanka Chaturvedi defended the historical context of Jauhar as a choice made by women facing capture, enslavement and sexual violence after defeat. Amid the backlash, Swara Bhaskar clarified that her comments were allegedly mistranslated and misrepresented, reiterating that women have the right to live after sexual violence. Here’s the full controversy and the historical context behind the Jauhar depicted in the film.
