India protest Taj Mahal replica by Bangla film maker

personally i feel some art works, architectures etc. should never be attempted to be copied. making the replica is risky, a slight mismatch would be immensely shameful for the replica makers. i don't know how in the world did he get such an idea to copy taj? if so easy, could taj ever been one of the seven wonders? i was deeply shocked to see this thing from bangladesh. there wasn't anybody to stop him from doing this? his intentions maybe fair but again, may i ask him - shall he make a replica of the moon since india's chandrayaan has gone there but probably bangladesh never can? such logics are ridiculous!

Copying is the best form of flattery I would say. Creating a replica is in a way paying tribute to the original.

This is the indication of dying innovative and creative skill of humans, copy copy and just copy.

It's not a duplicate, just a stage prop.

da guy eho built it is a real dreamer.... u must give him dat.... shala bagher bacchhaaa!!!!! ALL HAILZ 2 HIM!!!!

When i 1st heard this news i was very pissed

But after thinking everything through.i dont see anything to be angry about here.

1st of all Bangladesh was also under the Mughal Rule so they have as much right to see the taj mahal as we do. but most of them cant do so due to financial issues . so i think its ok to make a replica for them to see.

Secondly its a 'TRIBUTE' to the 'original' one. the director is not trying to 'compete' with the original taj or with India. 

we need to set our egos aside and stop feeling threatened by everything

if bangladesh is thinking about rights then the matter is indeed of concern. because, that would not only be limited to the taj, but also spread to many other properties of india which they will try to establish a 'share' since they were once a part of india. and if pakistan also gets some inspiration from such acts of bangladesh, then india is soon to face more chaos in the coming days. one kashmir issue is not yet solved, now we are hearing new stories of rights and shares.

i dont understand whats the problem. copies of famous paintings of famous artists are being sold everywhere 'legally'. people buy these cheap copies because they cannot buy the original. so whats the problem with the replica of the taj mahal.

and i think ruprekha is just giving her point of view not bangladesh's ( esp the rights part) . 

and even if pakistan or any other country starts making replicas.... the grandeur and magnificence of the original  taj mahal will not be overshadowed by them

I dont think the replica will in anyway take away the limelight from the original ( feel stupid for even saying this)  so lets not get emotional or feel insulted by this replica. esp because its not meant to insult or 'replace' the taj.      its a tribute

arrey bhai u guys are arguing over nothing.

ITS A HOAX. this jerk is trying to making a fool out of both bangladeshi and indians.

i went to see and most people over there has already seen the taj and just went to see whether its really a replica . to be honest its barely a replica.

Most bangladeshis were already pissed when they heard the news. Most of BD's valuable heritage sites are getting destroyed due to lack of protection and preservation. So they were irritated when they heard $58 million had been spent on making a fake taj where as it could have been used to preserve their own original monuments.

The film maker probably paid all the reporters ro print the fake news. no wonder no one new about this for such a long time. it came out on BD newspapers less than a week ago. That jerk is probably sitting back and laughing at the bitter feelings ( between indians and bangladeshis) and the debates caused by his cheap replica. the diamonds,marble all that news is bogus.

Some Bangladeshis are relieved thats its not an exact replica...because that gives them even more reason to demand its demolition. i'v lived in BD for about a year now and c'mon they hav a sense of dignity and whats right/wrong as well.

BANGLADESHI PPL ARE FUKIN STUPID,,,whatz the point to waiste all that money for a fake ass taj mahal when there is fukin millions of ppl dying down there...
