Taj Mahal Historical Contraversy : Decoding the mystery of TAJ MAHAL..!!
A series of facebook share’s from my friends about the “TAJ CONSPIRACY” made me to actually write an article about the conspiracy surrounding one of the WONDER of the world The TAJ MAHAL.
We all have learnt that Taj Mahal was built by Shah Jahan as a token of remembrance for his wife Mumtaz Mahal death. It took 22 years to build this momentous structure at a cost of many human lives, still it is one of the wonders in the world! We didn’t question the history. But one did, P.N OAK who believes that the whole world has been duped. He wrote a book “ Taj Mahal:The True Story.”Probably there is no one who has been duped at least once in a lifetime. But can the whole world be duped? This may seem impossible. But in the matter of Indian and world history the world can be duped in many respects for hundreds of years and still continues to be duped. The world famous Tajmahal is a glaring instance. For all the time, money and energy that people over the world spend in visiting the Tajmahal, they are dished out of concoction. Contrary to what visitors are made to believe the Taj Mahal is not a Islamic mausoleum but an ancient Shiva Temple known as Tejo Mahalaya which the 5th generation Moghul Emperor Shahjahan commandeered from the then Maharaja of Jaipur.
Taj is an Undoubted Master Piece in India .
However, in our continuous effort to get to the truth , we have recently acquired some very important documents and information. There are evidences that the Taj Mahal was never built by Shah Jahan. Some say the Taj Mahal pre-dates Shah Jahan by several centuries and was originally built as a Hindu or Vedic temple/palace complex. Shah Jahan merely acquired it from its previous owner, the Hindu King Jai Singh.
Fact Sheet by ASI :
Archaeology Survey of India (ASI) has been researching the evidence that proves the Taj Mahal and many other buildings were not of Muslim origin, and that they know this information but remain silent about it.It also shows that in spite of this evidence they refuse to open up further research that would reveal the true nature and originality of the buildings, and lead to understanding another part of the real history and glory of India. Here are the eye brow raising findings from a man who questioned the history P N oak’s book. These are the brief and main points with which he argued about the taj being a temple.
*The term Tajmahal itself never occurs in any mogul court paper or chronicle even in Aurangzeb's time. The attempt to explain it away as Taj-i-mahal is therefore, ridiculous.
*The ending "Mahal"is never Muslim because in none of the Muslim countries around the world from Afghanistan to Algeria is there a building known as "Mahal".
*The unusual explanation of the term Tajmahal derives from Mumtaz Mahal, who is buried in it, is illogical in at least two respects viz., firstly her name was never Mumtaj Mahal but Mumtaz-ul-Zamani and secondly one cannot omit the first three letters "Mum" from a woman’s name to derive the remainder as the name of the building.Since the lady's name was Mumtaz (ending with 'Z') the name of the building derived from her should have been Taz Mahal, if at all,and not Taj (spelled with a 'J')
*Several European visitors of Shahjahan's time allude to the building as Taj-e-Mahal is almost the correct tradition, age old Sanskrit name Tej-o-Mahalaya, signifying a Shiva temple. Contrarily Shahjahan and Aurangzeb scrupulously avoid using the Sanskrit term and call it just a holy grave.
*The tomb should be understood to signify NOT A BUILDING but only the grave or cenotaph inside it. This would help people to realize that all dead Muslim courtiers and royalty including Humayun, Akbar, Mumtaz, Etmad-ud-Daula and Safdarjang have been buried in capture Hindu mansions and temples.
*Moreover, if the Taj is believed to be a burial place, how can the term Mahal, i.e., mansion apply to it?
While visiting the Taj Mahal many years ago, P.N. Oak noticed that the ornament atop the roof of this world-famous "Muslim" structure not only had the crescent moon, which he later decided the Muslims had appropriated from the Hindus, but also at the top, the Lotus flower, which has never been a Muslim symbol, but which Hindus use extensively.....Associatin
Trivia: Book that MR OAK has written was forbidden from publish by then…Indira gandhi’s government, who feared political backlash.
Whoever constructed it..what ever is the history.. it doesn't matter. Taj is Truly a wonder and pride of INDIA!
