Disgusting that SC allowed the ‘disputed’ and ‘false’ history of Taj Mahal to continue as it is.

Taj Mahal has been there for 400 years, let it be. Do not drag courts into everything. Make a representation to the ASI and let them decide: Supreme Court.  

Calling the plea a ‘publicity interest litigation’. The apex court also slapped the petitioner with a fine of Rs 1 lakh for wasting the court’s time with a frivolous plea. The bench of honor must stop bullying on the truth seeking petitioners at the threshold in the court of law and justice.  

Upendra Bharti | HENB | New Delhi | Nov 7, 2022::  A petition to unearth the “correct history” and age of Taj Mahal was turned down by the Supreme Court on Monday, which said the history of the world heritage mausoleum should be allowed to continue as it has been known for several centuries. 

‘Everything cannot be opened after 400 years’ said the Supreme Court calling the plea a ‘publicity interest litigation’. The apex court also slapped the petitioner with a fine of Rs 1 lakh for wasting the court’s time with a frivolous plea. The petition said the ‘original’ history of the Taj Mahal in Persian, one of the modern wonders of the world, has been lost. A Bench of Justices MR Shah and CT Ravikumar took exception to the kind of prayers made, including one seeking a direction to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to determine the actual age of the monument in Agra.

“As far as your demand to order an enquiry into the age of the Taj Mahal, I don’t even know my age… So let it be,” Justice M. R. Shah said in a lighter vein.

The petition said the “original” history of the Taj Mahal in Persian, one of the modern wonders of the world, has been lost.

Children are learning the wrong history about the white-marbled structure built in the 17th century in Agra on the order of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favourite wife.

“Remove the wrong facts from the history books,” the petitioner said.

“So you decide that the facts are wrong…” Justice Shah said.

The court allowed the petitioner to finally withdraw the plea and said if he wanted to, he could make a representation before the Archaeological Survey of India.

On behalf of the PLI petitioner Sachchida Nand Pandey, advocate Barun Kumar Sinha sought a direction to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to thoroughly examine the Taj Mahal and determine which structure pre-existed the Mughal-era monument. Sinha argued that the distorted picture projected in textbooks should be corrected after ASI gives its report on Taj Mahal. The bench said, “PILs are not meant for fishing inquiries. Taj Mahal has been there for 400 years and let it be there. You make a representation to the ASI and let them decide. Do not drag courts into everything. Everything cannot be reopened after 400 years. The courts have no expertise in archaeology.”

This is not the first litigation involving the Taj Mahal in the Supreme Court. The same Bench of the top court had in October dismissed a plea seeking the opening of certain rooms of the Taj Mahal to put to rest the ‘alleged history’ of the monument including claims that it was a Shiva temple referred to as Tejo Mahalaya.

Smart enough bench of apex court constituted by MR Shah and CT Ravikumar should not forget that the Supreme Court of India had to reopen the history of Barbaric Babar’s age almost 500 yrs back  in the history and changed the fate of Babri structure into a Ram temple. Obviously Indians changed the history of British rule of 200 yrs and 700 yrs’ history of Islamic age. But, that history is not written in the proper way. Not only the history of 400 yrs of Tajmahal, there are important reasons to reopen the thousand year’s Indian history whenever or whatever those were distorted, falsified, dishonored and damaged by the perpetrators.  Prof P N Oak and many historians already raised questions about the ‘disputed’ and ‘false’ history of Taj Mahal.

Paid from the exchequer collected from public pockets, these MR Shah and CT Ravikumar must feel the pulse of the nation and must realize the distortion and damage of the history as bizarrely presented to the same public in majority.

The bench of honor must stop bullying on the truth seeking petitioner at the threshold in the court of law and justice.

Disgusting to see that SC allowed the ‘disputed’ and ‘false’ history of Taj Mahal continue as it is.
