Is Taj Mahal ‘renovated palace’? Decide on claim, HC tells ASI

The Delhi High Court has asked the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to address a representation by NGO Hindu Sena, which claims that Mughal emperor Shah Jahan did not build the Taj Mahal but only renovated the palace of Raja Man Singh. The representation alleges that incorrect historical information is being taught about the monument and seeks its removal from educational materials. The court has asked ASI to investigate the claims and make a decision.
