Read the given passage carefully.
THE TAJ MAHAL
It is as though he did not leave a single marble unturned to give India the brand no one else has or could, before or after him. Yes, Shahjahan would go down as a miracle worker among brand architects. For the Taj is born eternal.
Imagine its first glimpse, its inaugural release! Without a launch conference, without sirens or anthems, without security and VIP enclosures or the fanfare of a surprise revelation. A mourning emperor would not need or want that. Nor would the Taj. Every human being born in the world should see the Taj at Agra, India, at least once. It is not
too much to ask. Ask any lover, any aesthete, or just plain anyone who has set eyes on this
vision.
It's not the gasp of marble in stunning symmetry, or the enticing inlay, or the magically unerring proportions, it's the sheer unreality of it, right there, in front of your eyes. And every Indian has at some point said to himself, thank God it's ours, it's India's
