Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Jordan this week, due to which the relations between India and Hashemite monarchy Jordan have once again drawn everyone’s attention. PM Modi held delegation-level talks with Jordan’s King Abdullah II bin Al Hussein at the Al-Husseinia Palace in Amman on Monday (December 15, 2025), but today we will tell you about the Indian woman who got married in Pakistan and after that she even became the Crown Princess of Jordan.

Who is that Indian woman?

The name of the Indian woman we are talking about today is Princess Sarwat L. Hassan, who also has an interesting and deep connection to the Indian subcontinent with the Jordanian royal family. Princess Sarwat L. Hasan was born in Kolkata in 1947, just weeks before the partition of the country during the British era, into the Suhrawardy family, an influential Bengali Muslim family. His original name is Sarwat Ikramullah. His father Mohammad Ikramullah was an Indian Civil Service (ICS) officer and later became the first Foreign Secretary of Pakistan. His mother Shaista Suhrawardy Ikramullah was one of the first female parliamentarians of Pakistan and also served as ambassador to Morocco.

Born in India, married in Pakistan

Sarwat was educated in Britain and brought up in an international environment during his father’s diplomatic postings in Europe and South Asia. At the same time, at diplomatic events in London, he met Prince Hassan bin Talal of the Hashemite dynasty of Jordan for the first time.

After this, on August 28, 1968, Sarwat Ikramullah married Prince Hassan bin Talal in Karachi, Pakistan. The wedding ceremony was a unique fusion of Pakistani, Jordanian and Western traditions. After marriage, the couple settled in Amman and had four children, Princesses Rahma, Sumaya and Badia, and one Prince Rashid.

Crown Princess of Jordan for 31 years

Sarwat L. Hassan was the Crown Princess of Jordan from 1968 to 1999. During this period, she did remarkable work in the fields of education, social welfare and women empowerment. After this, in the year 1999, King Hussein declared his son Prince Abdullah as his successor, with which Prince Hassan’s tenure as Crown Prince ended.

Indian users’ displeasure and reactions

After this reaction of Alan Musk, Indian users strongly criticized social media. Many users referring to the history, explaining that colonialism and immigration are not the same. A user wrote that colonialism was associated with racist thinking, while immigration is a legal and voluntary process. Another user said that the British ruled in India, looted resources and exploited people. This situation is completely different from Indian migrants in Britain.

Allegations of distorting history

Many people said that Musk’s response is a misinterpretation of history. A user asked that if the British had become Indians when they came to India, then who was making a law for India, the British or the Parliament of England in India? Some users also wrote that Musk’s platform X is promoting the material that spread hatred against Indians.

Alan Musk and controversial statement

This is not the first time Alan Musk is caught in a dispute. Even before this, he has been in the discussion about the statements made on issues like Ukraine War, American politics and censorship. Musk often describes himself as a supporter of freedom of expression, but many of his tweets or reactions give rise to political controversies.

Why did the dispute increase in India?

This dispute in India became more sensitive because the history of British colonialism is a emotional subject for the people here. The British rule had maintained political and economic control over India for nearly 200 years, resulting in heavy losses to the country.

The history of India is very interesting and full of ups and downs. There have been many great rulers here who created big empire with their valor, foresight and diplomacy. But, one of the truth of history is that the hard work that makes a king empire, it does not take much time to waste and sometimes the biggest reason was the absence of capable children. When the heir of an empire is unworthy, no matter how big the empire is, it does not stand. Let’s know some such examples in the history of India.

Scatter

Who does not know Emperor Ashoka, he was a great king. He united the whole of India and gave the message of peace. But after Ashok, no one turned out to be so competent in his son and ahead generation. His son Kunal and grandchildren also could not handle the empire. As a result, within a few decades of Ashoka’s death, the Mauryan Empire ended with laminate.

Collapse

The Gupta period is called the Golden Age of India. Emons like Samudragupta and Vikramaditya gave a golden phase in science, art and literature. But the Gupta ruler who came after Skandgupta became so weak that invaders like Huns easily broke the empire. After which gradually the identity of the Gupta dynasty disappeared.

Weak children of Delhi Sultanate

The same story was repeated during the Delhi Sultanate era. Iltutmish made his daughter Razia Sultan a heir, who was capable, but the courtiers and Amir-Umra removed them and put the disqualified rulers on the throne. The pattern was seen in Khilji, Tughlaq and Lodhi dynasty that the next generation was not worth taking power and the Sultanate continued to disintegrate.

Mughals collapse

The Mughal Empire is considered to be the largest empire of India. From Babur to Aurangzeb, this empire flourished a lot. But after Aurangzeb, his children did not come out. Weak rulers like Jahadar Shah, Farrukhsiyar, Muhammad Shah Rangeela took command of the empire. As a result, the Mughal strength gradually remained just a name and the British took a chance and captured the entire country.

Marathas defeat

Shivaji Maharaj raised a tough challenge to the Mughals by creating the Maratha Empire, but after his death his son Sambhaji too soon was martyred and the front rulers did not prove to be as competent. The Peshwas definitely came to power, but internal discord and unqualified heirs weakened the Marathas and then finally the British defeated them too.

Sikh Empire after Ranjit Singh

Maharaja Ranjit Singh is called Sher-e-Punjab. He formed a strong and rich Sikh empire in Punjab. But after his death, his successors continued to fight among themselves. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the British also captured Punjab and this empire also collapsed.
