Is the Taj Mahal a history or a heritage?
History is the narration of events -
Events of successes and victories.
Heritage is the preservation of things-
Things of pride, value and attachments.
Heritage overrides history in making.
A heritage is a part of history,
And stands for value and not for events.
Who made it dissolves in how it was made.
A heritage to the people is akin
To a child to its mother, irrespective
Of who, a king or a papuper. Fathered it.
The Taj is born to India, a heritage.
