Symbol of Love - The Taj Mahal, Agra.

















Talking of love reminded me of Taj Mahal - the symbol of eternal love. Can we call it love frozen in space and time ! Though it is not practical to freeze love like that, don't traditional marriage and many other relationships demand this from us ?

Mumthaz , the the second wife of Emperor Shah Jahan, died at the age of 39 during her 14 th delivery at Burhanpur( seventeenth century),probably following Post partum haemorrage, while accompaniying Shah Jahan in a battle ..His first wife was from Iran... The emperor had several other wives.....
He had Craze in errecting huge buildings!!20,000 slaves were engaged in the work of Taj Mahal for over a period of 15 years...with thousands of human deaths...stones were brought from far off places..upto 300 miles .. and the Emperor cheated/destroyed the human mind( the Architect) who created the most beautiful stucture which people love to see..
History does not highlight human sufferings...it glorify Emperors and their "ACHIEVEMENTS"...and the traditional historians project their deeds as symbol of eternal love!

Please varify history....
Taj Mahal reminds me PPH.!
