Hmmm, well shahjahan didn’t really cut off d arms of d workers. The workers were to sign a pact where they would never build ever again period. Some writers compared it to their arms being cut off. That’s how the story began.

hi, i am totally agreed with ‘Chakolate’. and also adding a fact that ’shah’ never wanted to create a ‘Black Taj Mahal’ coz for your knowledge shah jahan, a mughal empror, himself ordered to cut off both hands of all ‘mistries’ (supervisors and workers) just to ensure the uniqueness of his construction.

Mockingly, Greatest symbol of love on the death of thousands workers who built it…

That’s Shah Jahan – The Moughals

Not to spoil your enjoyment of the Taj Mahal, but it was built for Jahan’s *favorite* wife. He had several. And it wasn’t so much a tribute of love for her as a display of power for Jahan. His father’s and grandfather’s tombs are also quite remarkable. It was a Mughal tradition to flaunt their wealth and power, especially in an occupied country, by creating lavish mausoleums. What would you expect from a guy whose name means ‘King of the World’?

Oh, and the fact that his son had him shoved in with the favorite wife instead of building a lavish tribute of a mausoleum for an honored father shows a lot about how the son felt – it was the ultimate disrespect.

If you think that the city being right there is weird, check out the great pyramids and their proximity to Cairo! Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth
Btw, there is an extra “the” in the first sentence of this post. Do you want me to point these things out or should I just enjoy things quietly from the sidelines?
