THE VARIOUS THESIS ALTERNATIVES OF TAJ MAHAL – CREATION OF ESTEEMED DR ABDULLAH CHAGHATAI<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Actual endorsed thesis Paris 1937<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The famous but rare thesis done in Paris on Taj Mahal. Versions many. Well here they are for the first time at one place:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thesis on Taj Mahal presented in Paris with his signatures on it. Dated 1937.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The printed thesis on Taj Mahal printed in Brussels in 1938. Very few copies printed and hardly ten brought to Lahore. Some presented here and there. The edition in Brussels lost during the World war. Chughtai Museum has a copy. There is a copy in the National library, Islamabad, formerly in the library of Dr Abdullah Chaghatai himself. Perhaps on or two in India. Rarest of rare books. Hardly quoted anywhere. Written in Urdu and translated into French. The speculation is that his friend Dr Hameedullah did that in Paris. Details not known. He never shared this with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
