You are not looking at the whole evidence and making your conclusions before giving it a full hearing.
Can you show any other Muslim tomb which has rooms for living in it? Can you show any other tombs which has a nagar-khana attached to it? Or a place to herd cows? Or gardens with typically those flowers used for worship by Hindus? Or with iron rings of the type that are used for lighting oil-lamps?
Why is it unlikly to have two palaces near each other? Even today there will be seversl havelis in Rajastan and other princely states where not only 2 but a series of houses are owned by 1 person or a family.
The Hindu Sardars who used to work for the Mughals kept their religions, but not necessarily their self-esteem. If the emporer did ask for his palace, would he dare to say no?
If it can be thrown so simply aside, one simple question. Why not open the closed rooms of the Taj and once and for all resolve the issue? Why oppose that in the name of blaming Hindu fanatics?
