Real History of "Taj Mahal"

 

It is proved Taj Mahal is not a burial of Mumtaj but an ancient temple of Lord Shiva. Sufficient proofs and website links are with this mail.

"The Moghul Emperor Shah Jahan in the memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal built the Taj Mahal. It was built in 22 years (1631 to 1653) by 20,000 artisans brought to India from all over the world! . Many people believe Ustad Isa of Iran designed it." This is what your guide probably told you if you ever visited the Taj Mahal. This is the same story I read in my history book as a student.

 

NOW READ THIS.......

 

No one has ever challenged it except Prof. P. N. Oak, who believes the whole world has been duped. In his book Taj Mahal: The True Story, Oak says the Taj Mahal is not Queen Mumtaz's tomb but an ancient Hindu temple palace of Lord Shiva (then known as Tejo Mahalaya). In the course of his research Oak discovered that the Shiva temple palace was usurped by Shah Jahan from then Maharaja of Jaipur, Jai Singh. In his own court chronicle, Badshahnama, Shah Jahan admits that an exceptionally beautiful grand mansion in Agra was taken from Jai SIngh for Mumtaz's burial. The ex-Maharaja of Jaipur still retains in his secret collection two orders from Shah Jahan for surrendering the Taj building. Using captured temples and mansions, as a burial place for dead courtiers and royalty was a common practice among Muslim rulers.

 

For example, Humayun, Akbar, Etmud-ud-Daula and Safdarjung are all buried in such mansions. Oak's inquiries began with the name of Taj Mahal. He says the term "Mahal" has never been used for a building in any Muslim countries from Afghanisthan to Algeria. "The unusual explanation that the term Taj Mahal derives from Mumtaz Mahal was illogical in atleast two respects. Firstly, her name was never Mumtaz Mahal but Mumtaz-ul-Zamani," he writes. Secondly, one cannot omit the first three letters 'Mum' from a woman's name to derive the remainder as the name for the building."Taj Mahal, he claims, is a corrupt version of Tejo Mahalaya, or Lord Shiva's Palace.

 

Oak also says the love story of Mumtaz and Shah Jahan is a fairy tale created by court sycophants, blundering historians and sloppy archaeologists. Not a single royal chronicle of Shah Jahan's time corroborates the love story.

 

Furthermore, Oak cites several documents suggesting the Taj Mahal predates Shah Jahan's era, and was a temple dedicated to Shiva, worshipped by Rajputs of Agra city. For example, Prof. Marvin Miller of New York took a few samples from the riverside doorway of the Taj. Carbon dating tests revealed that the door was 300 years older than Shah Jahan. European traveler Johan Albert Mandelslo,who visited Agra in 1638 (only seven years after Mumtaz's death), describes the life of the city in his memoirs. But he makes no reference to the Taj Mahal being built. The writings of Peter Mundy, an English visitor to Agra within a year of Mumtaz's death, also suggest the Taj was a noteworthy building well before Shah Jahan's time.

 

Prof. Oak points out a number of design and architectural inconsistencies that support the belief of the Taj Mahal being a typical Hindu temple

rather than a mausoleum.

 

Many rooms in the Taj ! Mahal have remained sealed since Shah Jahan's time and are still inaccessible to the public. Oak asserts they contain a headless statue of Lord Shiva and other objects commonly used for worship rituals in Hindu temples. Fearing political backlash, Indira Gandhi's government tried to have Prof. Oak's book withdrawn from the bookstores, and threatened the Indian publisher of the first edition dire consequences.

 

There is only one way to discredit or validate Oak's research.

 

The current government should open the sealed rooms of the Taj Mahal under U.N. supervision, and let international experts investigate.

 

Do circulate this to all you know and let them know about this reality.....

Well, I don't know whether Taj Mahal was a Shiva Temple or not but I heard (from mouth of a Muslim History Teacher) that over 2,000 Hindu families were enslaved to work on Taj Mahal and the Persian Artitect who helped to design and construct Taj Mahal was blinded by the King by poking his eyes with red hot iron SO No other buildings will be erected which could rival Taj Mahal.

 

Mumtaz Mahal is not the first wife of Shah Jahan, she was a court concubine who later become Shah Jahan's wife.

 

So, it is riddiculos to say Taj Mahal is symbol of love. If anything, it is symbol of Slavery for Hindus in the past and Symbol of Ignorance to Hindus currently for not knowing their own history.

Oh my God...

From your reaction, it seems that Indian History is not been told properly to ALL Hindus. Do you people even know that Muslims invaded India in 900 A.D?

Japan have dark past as well where it used to torment other nations in 1860s to 1940s and to prevent Japanese youths to dislike their own heritage and culture, history with this dark past were teached in University levels alone. Rough details were given in High School and those who are interested are allowed to do their own research. How's it in India?

Shah Jahan had people killed, removed the head of a Shiva statue, but left the rest of the statue intact inside his Mahal? What was the reason? I am thinking real hard, but cannot think of any.

 

Same with Indira Gandhi....instead of threatening the book publisher of dire consequences, would it not have been simpler to remove the headless statue and open the doors?

 

Finally, if the door is closed then how did Oak find out about the headless statue?

 

On a smilar note there was some controversy that Tirupati Venkatesh is actually a statue of the Buddha. Does anyone know if NTR feared a backlash and covered it up?

Also the thousands of workers had their hands cut off after completion of the monument. Very generous of the King.

I had been to Udaipur Palace, Rajastan last year. In the palace we found a painiting in which a temple resembling Taj Mahal was also represented. The tour guide said that it was indeed the initial architect's representation of Tejo Mahalay.

Muslims in India have control over India as long as Hindus in general populations do not know about their Invasion and abuse they had endured (and continued to endure to this day).

 

And as long as the general public doesn't know about their history, Muslim-lovers and supporters who willing to sell Hindusm for change for power will continue to use Tolerance and Peace as an excuse to continue to blind and bind Hindus.

 

So you see ... it is time for Hindus to wake up (before Kalki come and kick each and everyone of you up) and reclaim what is yours.

 

In my opinion, India MUST be ruled NOT by Muslims or Christians and even Atheist. She MUST be ruled by Hindus who follow Hindusm.

[Guest guest]

I know what you mean. Santana Dharma must control India. I can't believe in an 82% Hindu country, we couldn't find a Hindu leader. Sonia Ghandi secretly pours milliions into conversion schemes for mellecha religions. The BJP needs to come in and promote Vedic culture. I read a garbbled post somewhere on the internet that Muslims are responsible for 60% of the crime.

So what about Taj Mahal (the outer court yard and pools) being a representation of Muslim Heaven? Just a lie? (I wouldn't know as I know nothing about the common Muslim concept of heaven).
