Special Online Discussion on ‘Not Taj Mahal, but Tejomahalaya; not Qutub Minar but a Vishnustambha !’
That Qutubuddin Aibak built the Qutub Minar is absolutely false propaganda. This can be proved through various evidence available. Renowned Historian P. N. Oak’s research has conclusively proved that Taj Mahal is actually Tejomahalaya. There is no evidence to prove that Shahjahan constructed the Taj Mahal. The Islamic invaders snatched and destroyed thousands of Hindu temples. There should be one Central Law to recover all Hindu temples, instead of lawfully fighting to recover each temple, something which takes 30-35 years. Advocate Satish Deshpande, a History Scholar, stated clearly that since a political party with a Hindu philosophy is in power at the Centre, bringing in a Central Law should be easily possible. He was talking on behalf of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti in a Special Online Discussion on the topic ‘Not Taj Mahal, but Tejomahalaya; not Qutub Minar but a Vishnustambha !’
Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has worked with INTACH and Aga Khan Foundation since 1970. Additionally, false History has been taught through school textbooks. There has been a premeditated and concerted attempt to erase from our memory the true History of Hindu temples. Now, the Government must conduct relevant surveys / research to bring forth the historical legacy of Hindus and their Temples. Unfortunately, ASI too is mired in political controversies. Social Entrepreneur Ms Neera Misra (Founder of ‘Draupadi Dream Trust’) stated that the premises of Hindus which were snatched and destroyed by the Islamic invaders are still in the same condition due to minority appeasement.
Advocate Amita Sachdeva of Delhi High Court said that the religious places being portrayed as creations of Islamic rulers are actually ancient religious places of Hindus. Most Hindus are not even aware of this; therefore, they must be educated on this subject. The donations to Hindu temples are being misused by various Governments to indulge in corrupt practices. Hindus must oppose this. ASI has stated in one of its publications that Qutub Minar was built after demolishing 27 Hindu and Jain temples. However, in the Court, ASI has taken a contradictory stance and stated just the opposite. We must protest against such practices.
