Rewriting history is not all good for BJP or any other political party. BJP leader Sangeet Som saying that Taj Mahal is a "blot" on Indian culture is a misquote. In fact, the Taj Mahal was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 for being the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage. Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore has described it as "the tear-drop on the cheek of time". It is regarded by many as the best example of Mughal Architecture and a symbol of India's rich history. It now presently values 5280 crore rupees ard attracts 7–8 million visitors a year. In 2007, it was declared a winner of the New 7 Wonders.
In that case Uttar Pradesh government removing the Taj Mahal from the list of attractions in its tourism booklet, is idiotic. Many people are disappointed because of Taj Mahal is being removed from the UP tourism booklet. BJP MLA Som has no right to distort history. Those that fail to learn from history, are doomed to utter non-sense
