    As Tarnicles has commented below: The 'words written in Arabic' at 6.24 are actually a Hindustani/Urdu inscription (written in Perso-Arabic script). It reads : yeh mahal Ilahi Bakhsh kareegar (craftsman) ney tayyar kiaa samat (samvat) 1941 ( trans.: this palace was built by the mason Ilahi Bakhsh in the year 1884 CE).
    It's so amazing that the Maharaja hired a Muslim craftsman or mason.
    This mason must be one of his loyal subjects.
    As the Maharani has described, his descendant Sadik is still serving the royal family.
    It also looks like there was nobody there who was able to read the Urdu script.

      Rajputs had mostly very friendly relations with Muslims, the tradition continues till date, even today in Rajasthan you will find rajput youngsters almost always have a Muslim best friend. Sadly with wahabi and salafi influence, radical Islam is gaining grounds and naturally as a reaction more conflicts between Hindus and Muslims.
