Clarify if Taj Mahal is a mausoleum or a temple: CIC to govt
The Central Information Commission (CIC) has directed the Union Culture Ministry to clarify its stand on whether the Taj Mahal is a mausoleum built by Shah Jahan or a Shiva temple gifted to the Mughal emperor by a Rajput king. This came after the CIC received an RTI plea about the same by some persons claiming to be historians.
