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 c aptured 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 Maha laya, 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.
