In this episode of “Political Naari” with Nivedita, we dive into the storm surrounding Paresh Rawal’s upcoming film “The Taj Story” — a movie that claims the Taj Mahal is actually a Shiva temple. The line from the film, “Lift the tip of the Taj, and you’ll find Mahadev inside,” has set social media and political circles on fire.
Once a global symbol of love and one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Taj Mahal is now being dragged into the politics of faith, history, and identity. In this episode, Nivedita questions — why is history being rewritten? Is Bollywood turning into a political weapon to spread half-truths and hate?
From The Kashmir Files to The Kerala Story, and now The Taj Story, we explore the dangerous pattern of using cinema to shape public sentiment and divide society. Historians have long established that the Taj Mahal was built by Emperor Shah Jahan for Mumtaz Mahal, yet propaganda continues to twist facts for ideology.
Watch Political Naari as we separate facts from fiction, expose political agendas behind cultural manipulation, and ask — what is really under the Taj? History or hypocrisy?
