Palace in Barhanpur where Mumtaz died 

Pavilion where Mumtaz is said to be buried 
 
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 O 
ak 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 cit y 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.....
