Taj Mahal: Draft copy

The Taj Mahal is actually a grave. And, making a monument is a grave vice. Against Islam. Graveyards are basically It's become a tourist destination -- We give miniature replica of Taj Mahal as a gift to newly married couples. There's nothing there. Just corpses. It's so ironic that at the very beginning you marital life -- you're journeying long distances to see a grave -- and, you think that's epitome of undying love -- This person channelized lots of gold and everything -- during that time -- to build one -- and he ordered chopping of hands of architects and other workers -- so that they won't build a similar monument -- Instead of channelizing treasures and all that to citizens of his kingdom -- he build a monument for a dead person -- Irony is millions must have been poor and all that -- He gave priority to a dead person than to living citizenry. It's like a pilgrimage to that place and unless you have a snapshot in front of it -- your honeymoon isn't finished -- I've never been there -- but I think guides and all that make their living just because of a graveyard -- Isn't that ironic? And, there're some factories and all that -- a livelihood for lots of people -- these environmentalist and all that -- are asking for relocation of such factories in the vicinity or so of Taj Mahal. 

To be continued . . .  .
