Taj Mahal left out of UP budget heritage plan, Adityanath govt draws ire

You surely aren't a Dalit, or Sikh or Buddhist or Jain or Muslim.

I'm Christian. Now peddle more BS.

Nope. It is you who smoke cow dung and drink cow urine while sitting out under the sky to fertilize your land direct.

Usual baloney coming from an LDC swamplander.

SA has to wait another 50 years for the Muslims to return and humanize the backward lot.

So the LDC swampland is going to invade us with it's Ansar force ? Thanks for the laugh.

India had a rich history before islam, during islam and a bright present right now and a very good future.
Your butthurt is duly noted, and you can go around the fake Taj mahal you build in your country and start comparing. Why not start a thread about 'How cheap and efficient is Bangladesh Taj mahal'?


@The_Showstopper We all know why. Make your argument blunt, we don't need to talk metaphorically.
They will find some excuses, 'we have a BIGGER plan for Taj'. Center will announce such. :disagree:
They must be planning to rename it as Tejo Mahalay, the so-called shiv temple. Once the naamkaran is done, they will approve funds.

Taj Mahal left out of UP budget heritage plan, Adityanath govt draws ire

  • isn’t part of Uttar Pradesh’s cultural heritage, according to the Yogi Adityanath government’s first state budget presented on Tuesday. The move has invited criticism by academics.

    The annual budget for 2017-2018 makes no mention of Taj Mahal in the special section ‘Hamari Sanskritik Virasat’ (Our Cultural Heritage) incorporated in the finance minister’s 63-page speech. Chief minister Yogi Adityanath has often pointed out that the Taj Mahal, built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, did not reflect India’s ancient culture

    The Taj Mahal was one of a string of monuments and heritage sites that was left out of the budget, triggering criticism that the exercise was communally inspired and bore the Hindutva stamp. A number of schemes were announced for Hindu pilgrimage towns of Ayodhya, Varanasi, Mathura and Chitrakoot.

    Read more“Our government has formulated schemes for maintenance of places of cultural and historical importance to promote tourism,” said finance minister Rajesh Agarwal, invoking Hindu god Ram in the assembly.

    The exclusions sparked criticism with top academics and historians saying the government should promote the composite multi-faith culture of India’s largest state.

    “The identification of heritage with Hindu identity is in complete contradiction with UP’s ‘Sanjhi Virasat’(Shared Heritage),” said Athar Siddiqui of the Centre For Objective Research And Development.

    Others feared any neglect of the Taj Mahal would hurt tourism revenue. “Agra has three world Heritage sites and deserved a better deal in budget. If tourism in Agra grows, circuit cities like Mathura would grow automatically,” said Rajeev Saxena, secretary for Tourism Guild of Agra.

    Professor Rajesh Mishra of Lucknow University advised the government to either completely delink the state from all religious establishments or be more considerate to sentiments of people of all religions. “There is no room for appeasement for people of one religion and complete disregard for others,” he told HT.

    The budget launched a ‘Swadesh Darshan Yojana’ with Rs 1,240 crore focusing on the Ramayana Circuit (Ayodhya), the Buddhist Circuit (Varanasi) and the Krishna Circuit (Mathura). Another scheme, Prasad Yojana, with an allocation of Rs 800 crore, has been proposed for development of infrastructure facilities in Ayodhya, Varanasi and Mathura.

    Besides, Rs 200 crore has been earmarked for setting up of a cultural centre at Varanasi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Lok Sabha constituency.

    Sohan Lal Yadav, Sociology professor at Banaras Hindu University, said the state government had given more importance to the cities that fit in its agenda. “The Taj Mahal is a monument of national importance and international fame. It can’t be seen linking with any religion. It is a monument. No government can ignore it.”

Dear OP, Educate yourself before whining anywhere.
TajMahal is ASI monument and Falls under Central Govt NOT State Govt.
Fake Outrage

India still remains dark what with all the caste poison, open pooping, never ending rape epidemic. We haven't done enough it seems. The society of Hindus still remain locked into mambo jumbo backward rituals. SA has to wait another 50 years for the Muslims to return and humanize the backward lot.
Indeed. Can't wait.

loon gets outraged about taj mahal not getting enough funding , stays mute on Islamic terror attacks ...:lol:
So the Bhakt understands that it is about non-allocation of funds, why not educate your fellow Bhakts about the same, they've been moaning "centre looks after it"

And Bhakt unlike you, I have condemned every act of terror but that is something Bhakts don't want to see;)

1.Taj is a great physical symbol of a man's love for a wife. Thankfully it is an UNESCO heritage sight. Therefore, Mughal Architect Ahmed Lahori's grand but exquisite work may be safe. However, we need to say if the Jat raiders of Bharatpur were Muslims they wouldn't have desecrated the mausoleum ransacking gold, silver, chandeliers, etc. A century later the English Christians did more damage gouging out the precious stones all over. Viceroy Bentinck toyed with the idea of putting marbles and precious materials to auction to finance his colonial misdeeds. Christian writers and priests also started a campaign claiming the original architect was some Frenchie guy. Then of course some Indians pushing in courts to declare the Taj a Hindu monument built by an imagined Hindu king.
2. Taj belongs to mankind. Since the builder was Muslim, the design is Islamic architecture, and the calligraphers, architect, painters and artisans were all Muslim, Muslims feel specially close to the monument.

Read the article and stay put. No one's discussing whether it falls under Centre or state.
