In the reply, the government denied this possibility. In November 2015, the Union Cultural Minister Mahesh Sharma, told the Lok Sabha that the government found no evidence that the Taj Mahal was a Hindu Temple.
The ASI said the same thing. In 2017, the Archaeological Survey of India had said that the Taj Mahal is a tomb, not a temple. They clarified the story about Raja Jai Singh, and said that the land was annexed from him, instead, it was given by him in exchange. It has an interesting history behind it, friends.
In 2017, historian Rana Safi had written a blog, on the DailyO platform, a blogging platform of the India Today group. In it, she wrote that Mughals were very interested in keeping a record of history. Many Mughal Emperors had written autobiographies they wrote in journals.
