India fumes over Taj Mahal replica

December 10, 2008 Edition 2

India's embassy in Bangladesh has voiced its displeasure over a life-size copy of the Taj Mahal, saying it would investigate to see if any copyright laws had been breached.

Bangladeshi film director Ahsanullah Moni unveiled his replica, near the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka, this week.

Everyone dreams about seeing the Taj Mahal but very few Bangladeshis can make the trip because it's too expensive for them," he said.

The real Taj, in Agra, India, was built in 1631. - Sapa-AFP
