Akbarabadi Mosque. Controversial Archeology

Abstract

Nations with high values provide the means to preserve their cultural heritage even in its incomplete form so that the great deeds of their forefathers can be a source of inspiration, encouragement and positive impact for them. But when there is a shortcoming in this matter, it causes chaos in national security and the great monuments are buried forever. One such example is the Masjid Akbarabadi Begum (Year of Construction 1060 AH/1650 AD) which is considered as one of the finest buildings of Mughal style of its time and it was sacrificed twice in history, once in 1857 and secondly in 2012.
