About 20 years ago there were about 100000 tigers in the world, out of which approximately 70000 tigers in India. Due to a huge demand in tiger bones, teeth, skin, claws etc. in China, tiger poaching took place on a very large scal all over the world.

Currently it is estimated that about 5000-7000 tigers are still exisitng in this world.Out of these there are about 4000 tigers in India. ndia being the last home for the tiger seems to be unevitable.

How can we save this magnificent animal from extinction?

In 1631, Shah Jahan, emperor during the Mugal Empire's period of greatest prosperity, was griefstricken when his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal, died during the birth of their fourteenth child, Gauhara Begum. Construction of the Taj Mahal began in 1632, one year after her death. The court chronicles of Shah Jahan's grief illustrate the love story traditionally held as an inspiration for Taj Mahal.Emperor Shah Jahan himself described the Taj in these words:

Should guilty seek asylum here,
Like one pardoned, he becomes free from sin.
Should a sinner make his way to this mansion,
All his past sins are to be washed away.
The sight of this mansion creates sorrowing sighs;
And the sun and the moon shed tears from their eyes.
In this world this edifice has been made;
To display thereby the creator's glory.
