Muslim Taj Mahal claim rejected from bbc

update on "making another mess" i just posted :P

"Calling the board's claim baseless, Law Minister H R Bharadwaj said the monument was Indian national property."

so it is money matters not religious after all!!!!!!

"It has been governed, managed and maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) since 1920.
The Waqf Board had claimed that the building was being neglected, a charge the government rejects.
"There is no need for any other body to look after the monument as the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) is taking care of it quite well," Mr Bharadwaj said.
If the Sunni Waqf Board were to succeed in its bid to become the owner of the monument, it would get 7% of the income from the building by law. "

making another mess

Taj not a teardrop, but a 'grave' from telegraph [via indiauncut]

"The Taj Mahal was today declared Sunni Wakf property on the ground that it is the grave of a woman whose emperor husband was a Sunni."
...
"With the BJP protesting the judgment and asking the Centre to step in, the issue has the potential to stoke controversy at a time when the Imrana row was dying down."

very nice and very true

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
