No evidence for construction of Tajmahal by Shahjahan, says ASI… yet our textbooks repeat this lie

No evidence for construction of Tajmahal by Shahjahan, says ASI… yet our textbooks repeat this lie: "

Under RTI Act, 2005, an application was given to Archeological Survey of India (ASI), New Delhi, seeking information regarding the Historic and Scientific Evidences of Taj Mahal which supports the argument that “The Taj Mahal in Agra was built by Moughal Emperor Shah Jahan in 16th Century”.


The application was later forwarded to ASI of Agra Region.


ASI of Agra replied to the application stating that it has no such evidences.


National Archives of India gave the same reply
