I was gonna say something else about this “news”, but this article about India fuming over a replica of Taj Mahal is just priceless. Its ROTFL kinda hilarious. 
On a more serious note, of course, buildings alone don’t make anything historic. Its the history behind those buildings that does. No one gets fooled by the rNeplica of Eiffle Tower in Paris Hotel Las Vegas. This is probably just another rich film-maker who has no idea how to spend his wealth. But to spend $58 million to build a replica is down right wasteful. May be he couldn’t think of building anything original. Hope Bengalis are happy to have their own Taj Mahal in their backyard.
