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
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 . Oak also says the love story of Mumtaz and Shah Jahan is a fairy tale cre ated 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
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 Oak’s book withdrawn from the bookstores, and threatened the Indian publisher of the first edition dire consequences .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.

hi,
when hindu temples are usurped, hindu sentiments are hurt. similarly with any faith/religion. religion first of all as said by einstein is concerned only with evaluating human thought and actions; it is not qualified to speak of real facts and the relationships between them… i think we need not take to heart even if it may be true… many hindu temples are once upon a time -buddhist shrines. let us strive for peace! let us live by love and compassion…
now this is interesting
very very problematic.Seems extremely politically motivated.We have enough bloodshed in the name of ram and rahim.Use your knowledge to build bridges and not divide
Democracy hai bhai ! Logic be damned. Good Post.
Great blog……But i would not want that to be true.
Kya bachche log….saare romance ko paani mein baha diya. Yeh padne ke baad, chaandni raat, haathon me haath…kya mazaa aayega?
ditto vivek.. i guess even if the truth is as stated wd it be so easily accepted without becoming a political agenda.. lest it might face the same destiny as Babri masjid.. then not only India but the World wd lose one of its greates marvels.. I guess if the truth brings out bitterness, let it remain concealed…
if this is true, then it is very shocking. even though everyone does want the truth, i cant help feeling that it a truth best left buried.
Hi,
I like this piece as it is very different to what I found thus far. If you have any more such information I would appreciate you posting it or emailing it to me. How did you find this ? Excellent work.
excellent one yar………….nice
Why cant the Govt do some thing this.
Hai, very well, whatever u brought in front of us is good thing, all should know about this, just find out like this more to educate the people of our wonders.
if this is the truth, it should be bought out in the open particularly to the attention of Hindutva parties who can then push the government to take the necessary steps to verify the authenticity of the information given over here.
U r correct when u hint at bringing the fact out , whatever it may be , but the bigger question is ?Do we ,as a citizen of india are matured enough to understand and accept truth in its reality without indulging in riots; we become overwhelmed with negative emotions when such things are brought forth resulting in disharmony and deaths of the innocents ; do we want to bring out the truth at the cost of human lives and national disintegration…
Oh Gosh, wat a fact.. this REALLY must be brought out as, I am sure, 95% of the people don”t know this fact
wow, is it really so, I can”t believe it , a very nice and informative post thanks for sharing it with us
yes you are true here,,,,,i have also read it when the paper was published earlier,,it is a well known fact but still remains unacknowledged.
Very nice post, very informative. Points are quite reasonable too. Maybe this is the reality. But who will induce the govt. for further investigations?
