Is The Taj Mahal Pakistani ?

[Vinod2070]

Indian Money? Mughals built it and funded it. Unless a mystical indian baba donated money for Taj Mahal.

So the Mughals brought the money from their nomadic lands?

It was all Indian money, just like the money with government today doesn't make it someone's personal money today.

'And our heritage and civilization is Dharmic', and this makes India not a secular country. If your civilization and heritage is Dharmic, how can a Muslim's or Christian's religious liberty be guaranteed when and if he doesn't agree and conform to your heritage and civilization. Are they not an outcast then, outsiders not accepting your country's civilization and heritage? And here lies the answer to your next question; Pak was created to guarantee that religious liberty for Muslims and anyone else who otherwise would have been dwarfed by the hegemony of the Hindu majority.

guaranteed to a certain extend. Christians and Muslims are free to practice or proselytize as well. however, the bold part is very true. I consider Hindus and many culturally Hindu(majority Christians, some Muslims) feel uncomfortable with foreign practices,cultural influences. e.g. Purdah and Arabic practices. however, Euro/American civilization's is quiet appealing to the people especially young here.

Credit goes to the rulers. As for them being nomads, well these nomads conquered and subdued more then half of you Country. So show some respect.

this is contradictory. who will give respect to conquerers and invaders unless they became one among the conquered?

I don't want to troll here. Anyway back to the topic. Does Taj mahal belong to Pakistan? No. It doesn't because Pakistan didn't exist back then.

Funny thing about Taj Mahal is that over the years I have met many Indians and almost all curse the mughals for the supposedly atrocities committed on the non-muslims in India and the mughals were foreigners who invaded india and they dont have anything to do with our culture, but then change their tune that Taj Mahal is part of their culture when the world recognizes it for its unique structure and history.

Hypocrisy at its best. LOL.

I have now opened the Pandora's Box. Let it come.................

Not Pakistani, to be sure. But Muslims from the sub-continent could rightly feel it part of their heritage.

Sometimes barbarity wins over civilization. It was such a period.

Read the book "The story of civilization" by Will Durant. We think of them as uncivilized barbarians and that period as mostly a dark period of our history.

The Mughals were some of the most depraved rules with almost 25% of the country's GDP going for the luxurious life of less than two hundred families while the population was mostly wretchedly poor.

And that included Muslims as well in case some of you have different ideas.

Yes it might be..

In 1600AD's the government of Pakistan has put on a bill @ assembly citing the same.

The 'arkaan e assembly' put a bill there and the wozera led the approval

Sadly .. all you Indians Are mistaken.. Pakistan has a meaning.. Please refer to my signature.. and see this representation

In all seriousness.. Pakistan's identity crises began right after its inception. Its key leaders either dead or sidelined.. and the rest having no real mandate.. had to conjure up theories to keep a fledging nation together. Hollow theories that are now falling apart like the plot lines of the daredevil movie.

Pakistan' identity crisis began because you guys gave yourself an identity crisis. I see a country with a decent ability to be normal and prosperous but strangely you are so obsessed with the idea of 'identity crisis', the fear of not having one that well, you guys became like that. And it didn't help that plenty of your leaders were ready to exploit it.

'And our heritage and civilization is Dharmic', and this makes India not a secular country.

It is simple. What do you think is the heritage of Europe and America and other Western countries? Are they secular?

If your civilization and heritage is Dharmic, how can a Muslim's or Christian's religious liberty be guaranteed when and if he doesn't agree and conform to your heritage and civilization.

As I said secularism just means that state doesn't discriminate on the basis of origin or religion. It doesn't mean that you deny your heritage.

Are they not an outcast then, outsiders not accepting your country's civilization and heritage?

No. They share the heritage even if some of them have started following a different religion.

However if some of them choose to identify with the invading barbarians rather than their own ancestors, it is their choice to do that. We don't discriminate even against such lot.

And here lies the answer to your next question; Pak was created to guarantee that religious liberty for Muslims and anyone else who otherwise would have been dwarfed by the hegemony of the Hindu majority.

That is not how it happened. It started with an almost complete ethnic cleansing of Hindu/Sikh that has continued till date. Christians as well as one can see.

Then came the turn of Ahmedia and now the Shia and even Sunnis who are not confirming to the line are not safe.

There is no end to puritanism and that is how it had to be. It was not enough to be rid of non Muslims, now it has to go to the ultimate level of purity.

The popular slogan was: "Hans ke liys hai Pakistan, lad ke lenge Hindustan". It was pure mugalatas based on falsse and pathetic notions of superiority and identity crisis.

@Mabs

Their religious right is not harmed because we Hindus wont get offended by other religions.

 

[faithfulguy]

it is a part of their history.

Taj Mahal is the history of India/Pakistan and Bangladesh. All are successor states of British India as they were created out of British India. And its the Brits that first united all the lands of these three countries.

Beyond that, Taj Mahal was created by a Muslim ruler of one of many empires/countries that eventually make up British India. So on that note, we can say that Taj Mahal is more Pakistani than Indian.

Not Pakistani, to be sure. But Muslims from the sub-continent could rightly feel it part of their heritage.

If we look at it that way, than India has no claim to Taj mahal as well. This is equivalent of the Turks claim Haggai Sofia was created by them.

One can't believe the level of stupidity and obsession of these pathetic ignorant opium addicts.

Obsessing over things they have no idea of...
