Vote For Taj :Religious fanatics and a mis-informed world is doing harm to Taj Mahal?
Contributor June 29th, 2007
Do you know most of the people in this word thinks that Taj Mahal is the example of Muslim Art? They are so ignorant that they equalize Mughal Art to Muslim art… Does Only muslim community was involved in the making of Taj?
Why not they correct their history and stop seeing everything in India from religious point of view?
Taj Mahal is in the news for the voting which is being done to select new seven wonders of the World?
Do You know that official site of this campaign has categorized Taj Mahal as the exampl of Muslims art in India.
As per the site
This immense mausoleum was built on the orders of Shah Jahan, the fifth Muslim Mogul emperor, to honor the memory of his beloved late wife. Built out of white marble and standing in formally laid-out walled gardens, the Taj Mahal is regarded as the most perfect jewel of Muslim art in India. The emperor was consequently jailed and, it is said, could then only see the Taj Mahal out of his small cell window.
How they have distorted the history… They are wrong on two counts……
1. TajMahal is the example of Muslims Art.
2. Shah Jahan was jailed for building Taj Mahal (They have used ‘Consequently’).
In the light of history associated with the Taj Mahal, I don’t agree on both points.
Taj Mahal was built with the help of all communities of India.
And ShahJahan was jailed by his own son, so he (his son) can grab the power.
Here comes the one important point… many religious fanatics regard Aurangjeb (Son of Shah Jahan who jailed him) as religious leader and those fanatics are out to demoralize the campaign for Taj.
They don’t want Taj to be in the seven wonders… Because they think that if Taj goes in the seven wonders book… world will know the truth about Aurangjeb….
So Please beat them Just vote Taj………
Please don’t regard Taj as Muslim art only…… It is symbol of Love …. Symbol of India… our brother/sisters in UK has vote for Shilpa and a history was created….
Lets do it with our Taj…. Dispite being one of the largest populated country in world… We are not doing it …… So Please Go And Vote for It….
