Did Shahjahan cut the hands of the craftsmen who built the Taj Mahal?
We often hear a story about the Taj Mahal. That is, after the construction of the Taj Mahal, Shah Jahan cut off the hands of a total of twenty thousand artisans. Because they should not build such a Taj Mahal again. But that doesn't seem to be the case. Shah Jahan was not as cruel as his son Aurangzeb. Besides, after building such a beautiful Taj Mahal, which king will break the hands of his craftsmen? When this suspicion was asked to the locals, they told the truth. He said that Shah Jahan was overwhelmed to see such a beautiful design made by his artisans. And he gave all these artisans so much money that they should not have to work for the rest of their lives. This meant that Shah Jahan cut off the hands of his workers, further distorting the context of 'their hands will not need to work again'. And even today many people believe that Shah Jahan really cut off the hands of his artisans.
So if you ever go to Delhi, take some time and go to Agra. And visit the Taj Mahal, the symbol of this love built by Shah Jahan. Once you see the Taj Mahal, you will never forget this artwork for the rest of your life.
