What if a blockbuster film, a fringe theory and a political playbook joined forces to rewrite history? In this hard-hitting episode of Inqalaab, we take you on a forensic investigation into the viral claim that the Taj Mahal is not a Mughal mausoleum but a Hindu temple the so-called "Tejo Mahalaya" theory pushed by PN Oak and amplified today by films and political messaging.<br /><br />0:00 - Intro: The Viral Claim<br />1:00 - PN Oak: The Man Behind the Theory<br />3:30 - Why “Taj → Tejo” is a Linguistic Stretch<br />5:40 - 22 Rooms: Secret or Structural?<br />8:20 - Carbon-Dating & The Science Behind the Tests<br />10:40 - Eyewitnesses & Archives: Tavernier, Padshahnama & Lahori<br />13:40 - Why Films Weaponize History: The Propaganda Pipeline<br />16:10 - Political Timing: Why This Resurfaces During Elections<br />18:45 - Final Verdict: History, Hate & The Future of Shared Heritage<br /><br />We unpack:<br /><br />The origin story: PN Oak, who he was, what he claimed, and why historians ignored him.<br /><br />The evidence (and non-evidence): alleged lost documents, phonetic theories, and a misread "Taj → Tejo" claim.<br /><br />The 22 "secret" rooms myth architecture, archaeology and why those spaces are structural foundations, not hidden shrines.<br /><br />Scientific proof: carbon-dating misuse, sample errors, and independent archaeological findings that confirm the Taj as a 17th-century Mughal monument.<br /><br />The bigger picture: how conspiracy films become political tools, the rise of hate ecosystems, and why history is weaponized during elections.<br /><br />What this means for India's shared heritage and why we must refuse the politics of fear.<br /><br />This episode is a balanced, evidence-first expose: we reference court rulings, archival chronicles (like Padshahnama and travel accounts), archaeological surveys, and scientific reports to separate fact from fabrication.
