1. With all due respect to Indians, I believe not only should Taj Mahal be considered a Persian construction, but actually any significant Indian contribution has to be seriously questioned. Please hear me out!
   1)The whole architecture is Persian Architecture applied to building mosques in Persia (Please note that the so-called Mughal Architecture is totally misleading here). I mean I see that kind of architecture everyday in Persia and when I first saw Taj Mahal I wondered what a Persian mosque is doing in India! Besides, for what it is worth, domes were first invented in Persia(Most probabely)
   2)Both the architects, whom are claimed to be the chief designers, are Persians. Please read this article on that matter Ustad Isa - Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ustad_Isa)
   3)All the inscriptions, no matter whether they are Persian poems or Quran Suras, are fully Persian-written scripts. Most of them have been written by Naskh script,(Naskh (script) - Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naskh_(script))) while in some others **Nastaʿlīq **was used. I am myself a calligrapher and I got it at first glance.
   4) Almost all the names associated with Taj Mahal are Persian words! Even the name of the people! For instance,
   Taj Mahal (Place of Crown), Shah(The King) Jahan(Universe/World), Mumtaz(Distinguished), Dara Shikuh (as magnificent as Dara (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darius_(given_name))) and etc.
   5) Also the gardens are Persian-style gardens.
   I believe Persians could and should claim Taj Mahal, if they have not already. I am ready to discuss this with anybody and I will be happy to give you even more details.
