The true history of India between 11 to 17 th century is not told in our school history books. We all blame British but the period before british was equally horrific. Sultans and Moguls killed countless hindus, raped hindu women and took them to middle-east as sex slaves. 30 percent of today's arab, iran and turky population comes from slave hindu women. Gold, jewels from kings and temples was looted and taken away to middle east (turkey, iran, syria and saudi-arabia).
Our over idealistic leaders after 1947 suppressed our this history. We Indians do not know our history well.
Akbar was uneducated and addicted to wine. He had more than 5000 wives. He has lots of blood on his hands when it comes to treating hindu people who didn't accept islam.
Taj Mahal was a Shiv temple called TEJO-Mandir. The original Shiva linga is buried under the entrance step number 5.
And this does not mean today we must hate muslims because what happened in past.
But we must know and understand our history as it really was.

Seriously visit Agra , not for Taj Mahal but for the mental asylum. And please do not send me the link to some website which shows some obscure historian gazing inside the basement of Taj Mahal and claim that he saw Shiva motifs etc.
