muslims claim ownership of taj-mahal
does this mean we can bomb it?The Indian state is facing an extraordinary legal challenge to its ownership of the country's most famous national monument, the Taj Mahal. And the claim of ownership comes from the minority that has arguably faced the most discrimination and mistreatment in recent decades: Muslims.
The Taj Mahal was built by the Muslim Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a mausoleum for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, over whose death he was inconsolable. As well as her tomb, the Taj complex includes a mosque.
