Khilji may be the villain in the tale but he has a moral compass.Д«ut the sorcerer successfully entices Khilji with tales of Ratan SenвЂ™s jewels and his beautiful wife. When Raghav Chetan reveals his real intention, Khilji even rebukes him for being treacherous. Khilji is initially amused on seeing the fakir.

(Several historians concur that Padmini was a figment of the imagination.) He reaches Khilji with the intention of getting him to attack Chittor.

ChittorвЂ™s queen Padmini (Seema Kelkar) gifts him a bangle on his way out, but the bitter sorcerer is nevertheless thirsty for revenge. According to the yarn as depicted in Bharat Ek Khoj, Raghav Chetan (Rakesh Shrivastava), the sorcerer at the court of ChittorвЂ™s king Ratan Sen (Rajendra Gupta), is banished for trickery. His actions and decisions are taken for the welfare of the Sultanate and he is least bothered about the Sharia.Д®pisode 26 revolves completely around Padmavat, an epic poem written two centuries after Khilji died in 1316. In response, Khilji tells the priest that he is Muslim only because his ancestors identified as Muslim. KhiljiвЂ™s intentions are pragmatic вЂ“ to centralise power and maintain order вЂ“ but his methods are authoritarian and often barbaric, which leads to a priest to remind him that he is acting against Sharia law. He controls market prices and orders for dissenting traders to be tortured. With the money collected through taxes, he strengthens his army as the Mongols are almost always at DelhiвЂ™s doorstep. Khilji bans liquor, curbs the right to hold gatherings and heaps taxes upon the rich. His ministers come up with possible reasons behind the discontent, such as the abundance of liquor that leads to nobles plotting under the influence, their excessive wealth and their freedom to hold meetings, which leads to the spread of incendiary ideas. He orders his men to execute all conspirators and their families.

Khilji is perturbed by the rise of conspiracies and revolts in his kingdom. The episodes form the concluding chapters of the three-part Delhi Sultanate segment, which begins with the emergence of the Turks in India and ends with an account of the Tughlaq dynasty.Д®pisode 25 establishes Khilji as a ruthless politician. Khilji appears in episodes 25 and 26 of Bharat Ek Khoj, which was telecast on Doordarshan in 19. Ranveer Singh in Padmavati and Om Puri in Bharat Ek Khoj. Right in the beginning of the second and final Bharat Ek Khoj episode in which Khilji appears, the narrator (also Om Puri) reminds audiences that the saga of Rajput valour described in Padmavat is illustrative of the traditions of the time and not of historical accuracy. The different approaches draw from the same source material: Malik Muhammad JayasiвЂ™s sixteenth-century epic poem Padmavat. These two characters share but a name, and are as similar as the sun and the moon. While the Khilji of Padmavati likes to be semi-clothed in furs and would look more at home in Essos from Game of Thrones than 14th century Delhi, PuriвЂ™s Khilji is always dressed in royal garb and appears to have leapt out of the history books.
