Hercules was determined to have his daughters educated even though he knew that his wife was immutably opposed to it on the grounds that it violated her Rajput honour. She felt so strongly about it that she killed herself. It is hardly surprising that such determined parents should have a son who grew up to be a famous and charismatic leader.
