VOTE FOR TAJ!! (Reloaded)

2 comments

Is the young generation becoming less patriotic??
Well it’s a matter of shame that being a young Indian I am myself doubting my peers.. This doubt came into my mind see the fact that Taj Mahal is far away in the race to be among the Seven Wonders of the World. Even smaller nations with smaller populations are ahead in the race. I am really not able to find valid reason why many aren’t voting. It’s definitely not that we are not aware of the voting systems because our media is very active and really sells on such information. And we have quite a big cluck of our population using the internet and mobile phones and spending a lot of time on them..
Then what is the reason..?? Are we so busy that we can’t find few seconds to vote? Is it a national pride that we have one of the Seven Wonders of the World in our country? Won’t it be a big boost to our tourism sector which is trying out its best to fight out the Malaysia and South East Asian countries? And increase in tourism does benefit the government and thus everyone in the country someway or the other.

So I request every one to get awaken again and let to the maximum we can to get Taj Mahal in the new list of Wonders..

VOTE FOR TAJ !

I voted for TAJ MAHAL just now! I know it is quite late but better than never right!! And what a time to vote; in a couple of days the Presidential voting is going to take place. I don't wish to thrust my opinion on you but just had this thought in my head, should I vote for TAJ just because I'm an Indian? Is it not the voting for 7 wonders of the world? Well, I voted for TAJ! I'm sure you have already done that, or may do it after reading this blog ...
The website says, "This immense mausoleum was built on the orders of Shah Jahan, the fifth Muslim Mogul emperor, to honor the memory of his beloved late wife. Built out of white marble and standing in formally laid-out walled gardens, the Taj Mahal is regarded as the most perfect jewel of Muslim art in India. The emperor was consequently jailed and, it is said, could then only see the Taj Mahal out of his small cell window". And I read an email some time back which talked about Taj being Tejo Mahal build before the Mughal period! I'm sure most of you got that mail as well and read it, forwarded it. Like before, I don't want to comment on this one as well. I voted for TAJ just now and I'd be happy to see it making the list of the final 7 !!!
