Save the Taj Mahal
The Government of India's Archaeological Survey of India (who run the Taj), have discovered that the underground vaults are crumbling. They have announced they intend to a) either move the Taj 800 metres to the south-east or b) replace the heavy minarets with new ones made of lightweight material. We believe a full survey needs to be carried out to look at less radical alternatives, as these solutions threaten to alter forever one of the world's greatest monuments - which belongs to us all. We ask the Prime Minister of India to intervene with the Archaeological Survey of India and to find a less damaging solution.
Dear Prime Minister of India
We the under-signed are shocked to hear of the subsidence of the Taj Mahal. However, we beg you to reconsider your intention to either move the Taj Mahal 800 metres or to dismantle the minarets. We beleive the Taj belongs to the whole world, and ask you to consult world experts to find a less harmful solution.
