Is The Taj Mahal Pakistani ?

[janon]

Beyond that, Taj Mahal was created by a Muslim ruler of one of many empires/countries that eventually make up British India. So on that note, we can say that Taj Mahal is more Pakistani than Indian.

No, you cannot. Anything muslim is not the property of pakistan. India has some 170 million muslims, and so the second or third largest muslim population in the world. Whether it was commisioned by a muslim or not is not a criterion to be considered Indian. Muslim does not mean non Indian.

A Muslim from Lahore designed it and built it but i personally don't like it. I think its over rated. Masjid Wazir Khan is more beautiful.

Wrong. The chief designer was Ustad Ahmad Lahauri, who was a Persian. Don't let the name fool you. And there were many other designers, not just him. And he was not the builder. There were 20,000 builders, both hindu and muslim, mostly from present day India.

Taj Mahal is the history of India/Pakistan and Bangladesh. All are successor states of British India as they were created out of British India. And its the Brits that first united all the lands of these three countries.

British India was not longer than 200 years. Before that, modern day Pakistan's provinces were occupied by various empires. And before that, we had our own indigenous civilization called Indus Valley

That word ''occupied'' makes it sound like pakistan was a country under foreign occupation. Pakistan did not exist before 1947, just as a republic of India did not. But for millenia, today's north-west-central India and today's pakistan were ruled by several empires and regimes.

Indus vallery civiliation ended thousands of years back. It was supplanted by the vedic civilization, and several civilizations after that.

He was paid his per diem. He was just a paid employee, paid for by Indian money.

Some designer being from some country doesn't change the fact that it is wholly Indian. The nomads would have done it in their own pastures if they were capable of it.

You are getting personal. You could have said "The standard of your arguments is low" but bringing Pakistan into it proves my point. Your ego and hatred towards Pakistan is overpowering.

It is amazing that people can find things which are not even remotely touched in their replies. Your beloved friend Israel was also created on religious hatred, and exclusivity as per your definition. The oldest and greatest civilization in which humans are divided into inhumane caste system. Good for you.

Israel was created based not on religious hatred but ethnic participation.

Again, what are you trying to say? That the indus valley civilization was islamic? It would help if you typed out what you want to say.

Anyway, to keep it short: The taj mahal was not designed or built by someboy from lahore.

And after the IVC, there have been plenty of other civilizations that flourished in that region, including the vedic and mauryan and guptan and others.
