P N Oak is dead. His book is just "Trash Mahal." A bigoted Shiv Sena activist he put forward the absurd theory that Taj Mahal was a Shiva temple, now you know the biased angle. Tajmahal does have some/minor characterizations of Hindu architecture. This was due to some local synthesis and influence, but the major architecture is the Safavid Persian influence using local material ie Makrana Rajasthan marble and sandstone. Now please erect a samadhi for this liar PN Oake and call it TRASH MAHAL a perfect tribute. Book was thoghtfully banned in India. He even lost a Indian Supreme Court case in year 2000, about 400 years after Emperor Shahjehan's death who he was falsely accusing. Good riddance.
