Taj Mahal (Bangladesh)

El Taj Mahal de Bangladesh (en bengalí: তাজ মহল বাংলাদেশ) és una còpia a escala real del Taj Mahal original (un mausoleu mogol d'Agra, a l'Índia) 16 quilòmetres a l'est de Dhaka, la capital de Bangladesh, a la regió de Sonargaon. A diferència de l'original, la construcció de l'edifici va trigar només cinc anys. Ahsan Ullah Moni, un ric director de pel·lícules de Bangladesh, va anunciar el projecte de la seva 'versió d'imitació del Taj Mahal' al desembre de 2008. El projecte va costar aproximadament 56 milions de dòlars. Moni va explicar que va construir la rèplica del Taj Mahal per tal que els pobres de la seva nació poguessin complir el seu somni de veure el famós monument del seu país veí. Això va causar queixes d'oficials indis, "No es pot simplement anar i copiar monuments històrics" segons va dir un oficial de l'Alt Comissiariat de l'Índia a Dhaka. La construcció va començar l'any 2003, però Moni afirma que se li va ocórrer la idea cap al 1980 quan va visitar Taj Mahal autèntic d'Agra per primer cop. Va dir que el seu homenatge va ser construït perquè la majoria dels ciutadans de Bangladesh -on gairebé la meitat de la població es troba sota el llindar de la pobresa- no es pot permetre viatjar a l'Índia per veure el monument real. "Tothom somia veure el Taj Mahal però molt pocs bengalís poden fer el viatge perquè és massa car per ells," va dir. Moni va visitar l'original per primer cop l'any 1980 i des de llavors va fer-hi uns sis viatges. Tan enamorat estava del mausoleu que va contractar un grup d'arquitectes i els va enviar a l'Índia per mesurar-lo. Segons va afirmar: “vaig utilitzar el mateix marbre i la mateixa pedra que en el Taj Mahal original. Vam utilitzar maquinària i és per això que la construcció va trigar menys temps. Altrament haguessin calgut 20 anys i 22000 treballadors per completar-lo.” Mittal, de l'Alt Comissiariat de l'Índia, va admetre que la rèplica difícilment menytindria la magnificència de l'original. També va admetre que els difícilment la confondrien amb l'original. “Una còpia és una sort d'afalagament, suposo,” va dir. Construcció La construcció de la rèplica va irritar l'Alt Comissariat de l'Índia a Dhaka. Els primers informes deien que demandarien Ahsanullah Moni (Bengali:) per infracció de copyright de l'edifici original de 350 anys; tanmateix, més tard anunciarien que la rèplica difícilment faria disminuir el nombre de visitants de l'original. La notícia de la construcció de l'edifici va aparèixer en molts canals de notícies, diaris i llocs web, inclosos la BBC, Sky, Reuters, Voice of America, Hindustan Temps, Guardian i The Times, i va causar una gran discussió i un animat debat en les xarxes socials i els blogs.

Taj Mahal (Bangladesch)

Das Taj Mahal in Bangladesch (Banglar Taj Mahal) ist ein ungefährer verkleinerter Nachbau des gleichnamigen Mausoleums in Agra (Indien). Das Gebäude wurde von 2003 bis Ende 2008 errichtet und soll 58 Millionen US-Dollar gekostet haben. Sein Besitzer Ahsanullah Moni, ein reicher Filmproduzent, verbaute 160 Kilogramm Bronze für die Dachkuppel, ließ Marmor und Granit aus Italien sowie Diamanten aus Belgien importieren. Architekten und sechs Techniker aus Indien übertrugen die genauen Dimensionen des originalen Taj Mahals auf die Replik. Moni erklärte, er wolle den Armen seines Landes einen Blick auf das berühmte Monument ermöglichen. Das Taj Mahal befindet sich etwa 16 Kilometer östlich von Dhaka an der Mahajampur Road und rund 10 Kilometer nördlich von Sonargaon. Anlass für das Bauprojekt Der Bauherr Ahsanullah Moni verfolgte mit seinem Megaprojekt die Absicht, eine Publikums- und Tourismusattraktion nahe der Hauptstadt Dhaka zu schaffen und den in- und ausländischen Tourismus zu beleben, da Bangladesch bislang über sehr geringe Tourismuseinnahmen verfüge und laut Welttourismusorganisation nur 0,1 Prozent der Asien-Besucher Bangladesch besuchen. Der Gebäudekomplex steht auf einem 1,6 Hektar großen Areal und dient auch als Filmkulisse. Medienecho und ähnliche Projekte Der Bau erregte Unmut in Indien. Es gab sogar offizielle Klagedrohungen wegen Eingriffs ins Copyright des originalen Taj Mahal, das allerdings mehr als 300 Jahre alt ist. Dessen Touristenzahlen könnten zurückgehen, so die Befürchtung. Das Vorhaben Monis erregte 2008/09 viel Aufsehen in der Öffentlichkeit. Nachbauten dieser Größenordnung gibt es in einigen Ländern. Vom Pariser Eiffelturm stehen weltweit über 30 Nachbildungen. In Tianducheng, einem Vorort der chinesischen Großstadt Hangzhou, wurde neben dem Eiffelturm auch die Avenue des Champs Élysées nachgebaut. Eine Replik der Londoner Tower Bridge überspannt einen Fluss im Zentrum von Suzhou nahe Shanghai. In mehreren Ländern stehen Miniaturformate des Taj Mahal. Seit 2012 plant Dubai den Bau eines Taj Mahal in mehrfacher Größe als Geschäfts- und Freizeitzentrum namens Taj Arabia. Das Projekt wurde noch nicht realisiert. In Atlantic City ließ 1990 der damalige Eigentümer Donald Trump das Hotel und Spielcasino Trump Taj Mahal erbauen, dessen Name durch eine Anzahl Zwiebeltürme auf dem Dach begründet wurde. Seit der Insolvenz und dem Verkauf 2016 heißt der Gebäudekomplex unter den neuen Eigentümern Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City. Weblinks Mark Dummett: Bangladesh to open own Taj Mahal.

Бангладешский Тадж-Махал

Бангладешский Тадж-Махал (Бенгальский : তাজ মহল বাংলাদেশ) является копией оригинального Тадж-Махала (находится в Агре, Индия) расположен в 10 милях к востоку от столицы Бангладеш. Здание было построено за пять лет. Стоимость проекта около $56 миллионов долларов. Ahsanullah Moni, богатый кинорежиссёр из Бангладеш, объявил о своём проекте «Copycat version of Taj Mahal» в декабре 2008 года. Позже в интервью Moni заявлял, что задумал этот проект ещё в 1980, когда посетил оригинальный Тадж-Махал. Строительство копии раздражало Высокую комиссию Индии. Сначала сообщалось, что Высокая комиссия Индии будет судиться Ahsanullah Moni из-за нарушения авторских прав на 350-летнее здание. Однако, комиссия позже объявила, что копия вряд ли будет конкурировать с оригиналом, ведь для посетителей оригинал остаётся оригиналом.

At the outbreak of the Bangladesh Liberation War, a company of Pakistan Army troops set up their headquarters there.

Ten years later, it was the largest school in what was then a town of 30,000 people. When the Bangladesh Liberation War broke out in 1971, the Pakistani Army tried to control the East Pakistani populace. During the night of 25 March, a company of the 27 Baloch Regiment entered Kushtia. They disarmed 500 police there and occupied the school and other key positions. Many personnel of the East Pakistan Rifles (EPR) turned against the Pakistan Army. Before dawn on 30 March, several thousand members of the EPR, augmented by police and Ansars (paramilitary militia), attacked the West Pakistani troops in Kushtia. Major Abu Osman Chowdhury was in overall command of the attack. The West Pakistanis called for reinforcements, but none came. After two days of fighting, having fallen back to the radio station and the school, 75 surviving soldiers tried to break out of the siege under cover of darkness and retreat to their army base at Jessore. Finding the road blocked, they fled into the countryside. Most were killed by farmers "armed with hatchets, knives, and bamboo staves". Only about a dozen lived.
