“Taj Mahal is one of the wonders of the World. It is a mausoleum built by Shah Jahan for his beloved wife. However there is a deep thinking about the concept, design and artistry of Taj.”
“Taj Mahal is often described as one of the seven wonders of the modern world. Millions of tourists have visited the site - more than three million in 2004″ — BBC

This is totally misleading. All the things that they are talking are totally biased. The Mongols Architecture never reflected that way in the history. The art, architecture and craftsmanship etc., are all what every invader stole from India’s “THEN” people.
In the history of Muslim world, a real Musalman should never build anything in the name of a person and especially should not adore the wife or wives that much…..in fact, not any human being that much.
Shahjahan was never religious tolerant. Please don’t try to impose a big LIE history. Lot of Indians know the actual history, not just these so called Professors. Please try to dig the fact, not building a lie. Please!!!
The India was very much flourishing by then. All the riches that was talked about in this documentary was already flowing in India. Actually, that is the reason lot of people tried to invade India so many times.
There was one of more fact that the great scholars who are in this documentary had fogotten to mention is that, Babur tried to invade India 17 times…and after that only….with his other cheating tactics he could succeed.
Again, when you are talking about something in history…talk and show history as it is. If not, there is no meaning for History. Dump it in garbage. Thanks,
Please find the reality. If you observe clearly there are so many things in Taj mahal that depict the Indian temple symbols and marks.
We dont wish Taj Mahal to be degraded from a great monument, but bring out the pain that is the reality of Hindu religion which was dumped to make this monument.
It is built on a Shiva Temple. You can still find the relishes of Shiva linga under the tombs of Taj Mahal.
Try to expose the facts or else dont ever dare to speak on it at least.
