Love is all about giving, without expecting anything in return. And while building a symbol of that love, if hatred and violence are given in return, I believe it is of no use since it violates the basic concept of love.

Exactly Donu 👏👏

Was it love, or was it lust?

Not only that Di Mumtaz mahal at the age of 37 had given birth to 14 children and she dies during childbirth. It is said she was paralysed when she gave birth to her 12th child yet she gave birth to more children. Is this even a monument of love 😕

Ram Setu😳

Did he even love her?! 😡 🤬

I think it would be a crime to compare Rama/Krishna or anyone like that, and Shah Jahan.

I think that the plundering of India began way before the British, it began with the Mughals. Yes, people say that Akbar was a 'good' and 'tolerant' king, but excuse me, who was he to tolerate? His people invaded India.

Also, yeah, I agree with Sru. People's viewpoints matter the most to them. 🥱


Of course, I don't think we should compare Godly avatars with human rulers, but I'm just trying to understand people's mindset that glorifies the Taj Mahal despite the fact that it was build through violence, and yet forgets/disregards the Ram Setu which was a symbol of true love and devotion.

And I totally agree! My dad always says that the three people in history who are touted as 'great' (Akbar the Great, Alexander the Great, Asoka the Great) were in fact three rulers who caused the most bloodshed around the world. Akbar may have been better and a bit more tolerant than his descendants, but he was no saint himself, and like you said, who was he to 'tolerate' Hindus? His people invaded India, and due to the Mughals only our scriptures and temples got destroyed/interpolated, way before the British.

As much as I dislike the British for invading India themselves, a part of me wonders if it's because of them that India even got Independence, because if the British hadn't invaded, the Mughals might still have had hold over India, and India might've been another third world country, its rich culture totally destroyed.

I agree Janu.
You know, I read a book on Mughals, and almost ran away reading about the amount of bloodshed they unleash. Coming from a Hindu background, and learning what ruling is from Suryavanshis, Yadavas and so on, to even read it was horrifying. They cut people's organs off for the smallest things *shudders*

In my opinion, if a man truly loves his wife, he won't make her go through so many child births, especially after one of them left her paralyzed. Love is not all about physical intimacy. If Shah Jahan had really loved Arjumand Bano, he could have still showered love on her without being physically intimate. He certainly had enough children, and other wives also.

While I understand why rulers back then had multiple marriages, there comes a point where a ruler marries more for lust than for political alliances. When does a person become Ravan, who had one of the largest harems in our puranas?

That is the saddest thing :(
People can't accept true love, so they make everyone else's love fake? Why could Krishna not have loved nine women equally? Why could Arjuna not have loved his four wives equally? Why could Draupadi not have loved her five Lords equally? Why is it necessary to differentiate and destroy their pure love for human narrow-mindedness?

If it wasn't for the British, probably we would still have girls marrying men old enough to be their granpfathers and then immolating themselves on their pyres. The British undeniably had a role in bringing about all those reforms.

Exactly akka
The Amar Chitra katha book on Shah Jahan is all I knew about the Taj until recently.
I haven't visited the Taj but undoubtedly it's a beautiful place in the banks of river Yamuna and is very well maintained. But after knowing this I feel Mumtaz was treated like a child bearing machine😕
