Is it true that Shah Jahan (emperor who built the Taj Mahal) was forced to cut off his hands after he built the Taj Mahal? If this is true then I need proof. I tried going on wikipedia but it doesn't say anything about that on history or any other heading. Please tell me is this is true and then please help me find a site that has the info on this. thanks alot!!!

It's not true.

There's a legend that Shah Jahan had the hands cut off from the architect of the Taj Mahal. However, I doubt if this is true.
