My Headcanons about some Indian kings, queens, rulers and emperors because we don't have any information about them, I'm bored and also just because (part 1 ig...?)
Important: all things I say are to be taken as jokes as I do not intend to insult or demean any of them (except the Mughals and Raghoji I Bhonsle ofcourse) and it's just for fun and doing haha hehe. This is just my crusty dusty way to show my admiration for the rulers as an history fan
— Chandragupta was a very lazy kid with potential and Chanakya basically Amir Khan from Dangal-ed his way to make Chandragupta work hard and become the king.
“Guruji sehat keliye aap to hanikarak ho” — Chandragupta circa 300 BCE probably
— Samudragupta was a mountain lover and lowkey also didn't liked beaches. Harisena called it a poetic irony.
— Porus was named Purandhara. (I like Indra he cool so I'll insert his names wherever I want idgaf)
— Every Haryanka dynasty king ever “hahaha mera beta alag hai wo mereko nahi marega”
Fast forward to beta in future “yeah so urmm... Surprise daddy...?”
— Harshavardhan got teased by his friends or whatever because his name literally can mean orgasm.
Edit: he wrote Ratnavali as revenge for that as I discussed with @dharagalaxias (we just hate Ratnavali's plot that's it.)
— Ashoka's absolute availability approach policy started to become an issue to him when he couldn't even go to bathroom to shit in peace without the pativedakas calling on him “samrath! samrath!”
— Shashanka always fell asleep in the courtroom during the afternoon and had to be carried to his chambers by 4-5 court officials. (I just like to imagine he would be an afternoon napper like all other Bengalis)
— Shah Jahan is a bottom.
— Chandragupta II Vikramaditya was considered a Dhrishti-khand by all. *dhrishti...nayan...eye... khand...candy... eye candy...* (Gali maat dena yaar it's a joke obviously ╥﹏╥)
— Wajid Ali Shah would dramatically press his breast – the one he kept out of his clothes to show off – and gasp whenever something surprised him.
— Prabhavati Gupta was the og “Queen Never Cry” baby.
— Rajendra Chola thought Civakam Cintamani was an illogical story and Cintamani was an annoying character.
— Akbar once got fooled by Salim where Salim wrote random words that made no sense and showed it to Akbar and told him it was a poem he had composed for Akbar. It was done after Birbal's suggestion.
— Gautamiputra Satakarni had that condition where he had constant dark circles under his eyes. His court officials were concerned but he was just confused.
— Siraj-Ud-Daula was a smiley and glad child as a kid and always kept smiling. Even as an adult he always had a :) on his face.
— Raghoji I Bhosle had stomach issues and recurring diarrhea. (This hc comes from the bottom of my heart which is filled with hate for this man)
Edit: the hate got to him and caused diarrhea
— Raibaghini Bhavasankari had immaculate humour and unmatched sass that made everyone be intimidated by her. (Gigachad meme guy pls)
— Lalitaditya Muktapida had great shiny hair.
Edit: They called him Kesh of Kashmir or whatever...
