IF IT WORKS FOR LAS VEGAS...

Officials in India are claiming copyright infringement as a Bangladeshi man is building an exact replica of the Taj Mahal built about 30 miles northeast of Dhaka. “You can’t just go and copy historical monuments,” claimed the Indian High Commission. But Ahsanullah Moni doesn’t quite agree. So far he has spent over $80 million to build the structure using marble and granite from Italy and diamonds from Belgium. He hopes that his version of the Taj Mahal will give the tourist industry of Bangladesh a much-needed boost and also provide a chance for his countrymen who can’t afford to travel to India to see the monument.
