Artist Manoj Muntashir also reached the Gaurav Diwas program in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh. During this, he targeted the Mughals fiercely and called the Mughals robbers. During the program Manoj Muntashir said that we were taught history wrong. We were told that if there were no rulers like Sher Shah Suri, Akbar and Khilji, we would have danced by wrapping leaves, but now who tells these fools that before this there was Mohenjodaro also.
In the program, Manoj Muntashir said, “Thousands of years ago, when you were not there, Mughals, the temple of Mahakal had been built in our place. When the Mughals did not learn to join even two bricks, then we had temples built by Kshatriya kings. Ajanta is with us, Ellora is with us and Konark is with us. When Shah Jahan was getting the Taj Mahal built, 35 lakh people were dying of starvation in this country of India. At such a time, a king spends 9 crore rupees in a mausoleum, which could have eradicated poverty in the whole country at that time.
Manoj Muntashir further said, “On one hand we saw Maharaj Vikramaditya and on one side we saw these robbers and dacoits too, it was our bad luck. Got the Taj Mahal built, let’s get it built. But now left-handed history is trying to tell us that the Taj Mahal is a sign of love.”
