Where was the need ( to chop off hands)

Many would have died constructing it, as it took very many years to build.

Also most of the workers were impoverished, with shorter life span.

A tragic twist to any tale adds longevity to its circulation & creates a myth of eternal love in this case.

Re: Did Shah Jahan chop off the hands of those who built the Taj mahal

If we say that ShahJahan has chopped off hands , then the question will come out , Did ShahJahan chopped out hands of all the construction workers or just the main person ? then more questions will come out who was the main person then how many construction workers were there etc ? its really a very interesting question and everyone will play with it according to their agenda .

Taj Mahal is part of India and its a historical monument and it has to be protected .

I agree that its a historical monument & it has to be protected from the environment & so called secularist. Its a standing proof how moghuls destroyed major temples in India & built their islamic culture on it.
I said it has to be protected from Secularist because these secularist for the sake of votes might destroy the remaining proofs that showed it as Shiva Temple.

This also shows how tolerant we are towards other religion.

Re: Did Shah Jahan chop off the hands of those who built the Taj mahal

However, why don't any Hindu Rajas of Jaipur lay any claim to its (Taj Mahals's) history ?
They might not have any documents surviving from the time. But they did help the government in the Ayodhya case because they had an old map:

Jaipur royal family's Palace Museum has a rare, 300-year old cloth map of Ayodhya town, which depicts its key sites, such as the fort, the Janamsthan, Agni Kund, Laxman Kund, Janaki Kund, River Saryu, and so on. This clearly indicates that well before the British courts came into the picture, a place in Ayodhya was designated as the Janamsthan.

It is understood that a rare copy of this map was made available to the then Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao in 1992, and it is likely to figure as crucial historical evidence in the Allahabad High Court case as well.

Also, the Ka'aba was originally a Hindu shrine, the Pope was originally a Hindu priest, Britain was once a Hindu country, and Valmiki is my long-lost brother.
If you are not sarcastic show me the proof.

Ka'aba was originally a Hindu temple stolen by evil Muslims:

Vatican was once a Vedic hermitage (vatika) and "Pope" comes from the Sanskrit term papa-ha:
The same is the case with Christian history. Had Christianity been a religion founded by Jesus Christ, it should have been known as Christism or Jesusism like Buddhism or Communism. Moreover its later syllable " nity" is not a European word at all. Therefore it needs to be realized that Christianity is a mal-pronunciation of the Sanskrit term Chrisn-nity also spelled as Krishna-neeti. Since Bhagavad Geeta is the book of Krishna-neeti, what we know as Christianity is a fossiled, broken branch of the Vedic tree, and in fact the ancient Bhagavad Geeta cult. Consequently, the Papacy in Rome was a Vedic priesthood until a haughty neo-convert Roman Emperor Constantine pounced on the Vatican around 312 A.D, slew the Vedic pontiff and installed in his place a representative of the tiny Christian sect. That is how the Christian Pope came to inherit the inherent authority of the Europe-wide sacred sway of the holy hoary Vedic priest known as the Shankaracharya. The icons of Lord Shiva which the slain Vedic priest and his Vedic predecessors used to worship are still in display in the Vaticans Etruscan museum. The fancied European word Papa (spelled as Pope only in English) is the Sanskrit term "Papa-ha", i.e., Absolver from Sin. The word Vatican is Sanskrit Vatica meaning a Hermitage. Even the Archbishop in Canterbury (U.K.) was a Vedic Shankaracharya priesthood which was invaded, captured and converted into Christianity in 597 A.D. Until then Canterbury was known as Shankerpury. Thus Christianity in Europe is only 1000 to 1600 years deep. Earlier for millions of years Europeans spoke Sanskrit and practised Vedic culture. Biblical stanzes are known as "psalm" (pronounced as "Saam") because they have been substituted for the Saamveda. The white Friars and the Black Friars are the Shukla (White) Yajurvedis and Krishna (Black) Yajurvedis of the Vedic tradition. Friar is the malpronounciation of the Sanskrit term Pravar meaning a sage. This should impress upon all scholars and readers the necessity to look under the veneer of Christianity to discover the grand old, sacred, holy Vedic Sanskrit past of Europe. Both Muslim West-Asia and Christian Europe had the Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, Ramayan, Mahabharat, Ayurved (Vedic Medical Science), Vedic sculpture and all other precious Vedic arts and sciences.

Your own site mentions that Britain was once a Hindu country:
The British coronation chair in Westminster Abbey in London. It has lions at its four legs. (Only two front ones are seen in this photo.) This is because England's royal tradition is of Hindu origin. A Hindu king has to be crowned on a Simhasana, i.e. a Lion's Seat. The almond-colored square stone (seen in the shelf under the seat) is an ancient Hindu memento carried from Delhi, i.e. Indraprastha by Hindu warriors when they first set up throne in the distant British isles. [The following is a different caption under a replica copy of the same photograph in the album.] It is no coincidence that this coronation chair of British royalty in Westminster Abbey, London, is literally a Lion's seat (simhasan) as it is called in Hindu tradition. A cutpiece of an ancient Shiva Lingam serving several vicissitudes may also be seen reverently placed in the compartment under the royal seat. The sacred stone is known as the Stone of Destiny (Bhagyavidhata) alias stone of Scone (because it was brought from a church in the city of Scone in Scotland, to London in 1296 A.D.). But before being brought to Scotland, it was at the Hill of Tara (Taragarh) in Ireland. Thus, these two, i.e. the Simhasan & Shiva Lingam reaching back into immemorial antiquity, are significant proof of Britain having once been a Hindu country ruled by Hindu Kings. The lions are also of the Burmese and Mysorean Hindu design.

I agree that its a historical monument & it has to be protected from the environment & so called secularist. Its a standing proof how moghuls destroyed major temples in India & built their islamic culture on it.
First thing mongols were the ones who destroyed the Islamic Culture and killed millions of Muslims then to keep up the occupying lands accepted Islam and even Christianity, Buddhism etc and later invaded Mainland India and continued the expansion . During the Invasion even places of worship of Delhi Sultanate were destroyed and even Muslims were killed .

The Sikh tradition strongly subscribes to a meeting in 1520 between Guru Nanak and Babar during the latter's invasion of Saidpur, now called Eminabad, in Gujranwala district of Pakistan. The town was taken by assault, the garrison put to the sword and the inhabitants carried into captivity. According to the Puratan Janam Sakhi, Guru Nanak and Mardana, also among the captives, were ordered to be taken to prison as slaves. The Guru was given a load to carry and Mardana a horse to lead. But Mir Khan, says the Janam Sakhi, saw that the Guru's bundle was carried without any support and Mardana's horse followed him without the reins. He reported this to Sultan Babar who remarked, "If there was such a holy man here, the town should not have been destroyed." The Janam Sakhi continues, "Babar kissed his (Guru Nanak's) feet. He said, 'On the face of this fair one sees God himself.' Then all the people, Hindus and Musalmans, began to make their salutations. The king spoke again, 'O dervish, accept something'. The Guru answered, 'I take nothing, but you must release all the prisoners of Saidpur and restore their property to them'. King Babar ordered, 'Those who are in detention be released and their property be returned to them'. All the prisoners of Saidpur were set at liberty"
Invasion of Mughal Baber

I said it has to be protected from Secularist because these secularist for the sake of votes might destroy the remaining proofs that showed it as Shiva Temple.
So you are saying that it was not constructed by ShahJahan ?

This also shows how tolerant we are towards other religion.
Yes true, Native Indian people has been always tolerant to all the nations ..

MONGOLS are not the same as MUGHALS.

Mughals were mostly of Turkic descent, and only their leaders had intermarried with the Mongol conquerers of Central Asia. The Mughals adopted some of the fighting techniques of Mongols, but at heart they were Turks, and always fanatical Muslims which the early Mongols were not.

Valmiki means one born out of an ant hill. Pretty rare a name to have for your long lost brother.
Makes you quite unique by association :D
