War of words intensifies on Taj Mahal, Yogi Adityanath claims it was built on Shiv temple

[Indrani]

And taj earns good revenue too.
Don't make stupid chaddi grade statements.

Okay, I was wrong. It seems to be pulling its weight in money.

 

[he-man]

Time to demolish the taj mahal and then have some fake supreme court investigations.

How dare India get to earn money from a Muslim monument, revered around the world....but not any hindu temple?

I fully support this move.

BTW, when you demolish it, make sure you start from the top dome, it is most disgraceful thing in a Hindu nation.

Although I am having a strong nationalistic in my mindset, but i feel that i should voice my opinion in some of the things that is happening recently..

1- The entire Hindu conversion in Aligarh is ia useless thing...There are 2 sides of the story...Conversion happens all the time in India...Hindus are converted to Christianity in a big way...This is a major issue in my state Odisha...This happens with the help of money from missionaries in most cases..Now, why there is so many noise, if some one converts to Hinduism...This is simple non sense...If you would like to stop converting to Hinduism..then just stop all conversion...

From our Hindu people perspective, we have to understand that why poor and tribal people are quitting Hinduism...If these so called elite caste Hindu people would not have stopped entering lower caste people entering temple and perform untouchability, then this scenario may not have happened...So all these nuts like Ram sena, Dharma Sansad...they should understand that if they like to see growth of Hinduism, then they should try to stop untouchability and discrimination of the SC/ST people in social circle of Hindu society rather than shouting on the roof of the conversion of 200 muslim people...This is just non sense..

2- This Taj Mahal thing...Taj Mahal is not a religious structure..All these people who are shouting..they should simply creating noise...It is a national monument...Not any religious monument..

At the end of note, i would like to say that is If Hindu organizations ( Except RSS), really like to bring people to Hinduism, then luring with money is not the way,as this is done by Christian missionaries..Rather they should work for creating equality among the Hindu people across the caste line...That should be the goal...

Its earning a good money via tourism.

That argument is silly. The Congress won 2 elections but one never got a sense that they knew what they were doing. Though I'm kind of hoping trhat Modi will put his foot down. As said elsewhere, he has asked the RSS to reign in the nutters. If his record in Gujarat is anything to go by, the nutters who cross him should worry quite a bit.

Considering the kind of victory they have ...Its not silly at all . We know the whole Hindu conversion episode was used to bring conversions into the lime light and media played directly into it . But yea If these people are doing stuff without any blessings of Amit Shah and Modi. Then they have a short lifespan ...

That is the new policy of India Don. Abuse the Muslims and convert them to Hindus. Now let's get everybody on PDF to say this in chorus .."Thank God that Jinnah created Pakistan!"

Sir, we will always be grateful to Jinnah the great. The man had character, he got what he wanted.

On a side note, please make sure Taj Mahal survives until i make a trip to it. After that you should tear it down, and use the marble to build some new temples.

Yo, I already said the govt earns no money from the Taj Mahal. It spends a lot more on its upkeep than it gets in revenue. It is a net loss.

I fully agree. It is a net liability. It should be torn down.

The top dome has the Hindu symbol of Kalash with bent lotus leaf.

Wow....what apt research, i must say. I guess the Nazis were also somewhat inspired by it for their own swastika?

They are not my siblings or relatives,,,i am not siding with them,thats pretty apparent everywhere on forum.

on serious note
I am sure Mughals did desecrate some old Hindu holy places. so you never know
these kings were usurpers and they OWNed the land and the people and did what pleased them. even going as far as making a new religion to suit themselves or .. have their infant or toddler brothers executed to ensure firm grip on the crown once their father died.
apart from some monuments, palaces and tombs in their names I am hard pressed to see any library, school, discovery center any public service place like hospital etc at the level of say Red fort, or Badshahi Mosque or say Taj Mahal
but then again a counter argument might be, what Grand public service monuments did the Hindu and Sikh Maharajs built apart from the places of worship for their selected Deities?

A huge amount of their money was spent in public service monuments. Temples used to be center piece of the village acting as both a place of worship as well as a cultural center and a market place. Forts with entire cities built in them. Water stepwells from ancient times are profuse throughout India

wow

bless you thanks for sharing this stunning photography and architecture is just amazing.

I respect your comments but I think public service was not the primary reason in mind when our kings built the castles and temples. it was just projection of power and protection of their frontiers.
naturally the ordinary public invented some benefits from them. got employed, in their building and keep, they attacked traders and pilgrims etc. I do stand corrected by watching these masterpieces though

but I must clarify to Indian and Pakistani members that although i know our kings built roads and well or some gardens etc but they were not as grand as some of the buildings in mentioned in my earlier post.
I am not completely dismissing any service to science, arts or medicine and public welfare but I really have to think hard to come up with such examples... this was the crux of my apparently ignorant post


once again.. boy what an absolute beauty.

The congress govt never highlighted any monuments from our Hindu past. That is why the world never heard of them. Otherwise, there are countless such grand monuments.
