or do they need to only be taught those aspects that places America in a positive light?

See this story

If you believe they should only learn the positive aspects, than does that mean it is also okay for Japanese children to only learn the positive things about Japanese Imperialism during the first half of the 20th Century?

Often times, when you see 20th century buildings with words inscribed in them, the letter "u" is often replaced with the letter "v." It's quite striking, and in my mind completely non-sensical.

I'm sure it's some sort of tradition, but where did it come from? Why was it considered so important to all these builders to permanently inscribe improperly spelled words into their masterpieces?

Was it superstition? Prestige?

There must have been a good reason. Where did the tradition come from and why did it come about?

Probably there is no one who has been duped at least once in a lifetime. But in the matter of Indian and world history the world can be duped in many respects for hundreds of years and still continues to be duped. The worlds famous Taj-Mahal is a glaring instance.

1. The term Taj-Mahal itself never occurs in any Mogul court paper or chronicle even in Aurangzeb's time. The attempt to explain it away as Taj-i-mahal is therefore, ridiculous.

2. The ending "Mahal" is never Muslim because in none of the Muslim countries around the world from Afghanistan to Algeria is there a building known as "Mahal".

3. The unusual explanation of the term Taj-Mahal derives from Mumtaz Mahal, who is buried in it, is illogical in at least two respects viz., firstly her name was never Mumtaj Mahal but Mumtaz-ul-Zamani and secondly one cannot omit the first three letters "Mum" from a woman's name to derive the remainder as the name of the building.

4. Since the lady's name was Mumtaz (ending with 'Z') the name of the building derived from her should have been Taz Mahal, if at all, and not Taj (spelled with a 'J').

5. Several European visitors of Shahjahan's time allude to the building, as Taj-e-Mahal is almost the correct tradition. Contrarily Shahjahan and son Aurangzeb scrupulously avoid using the Sanskrit term and call it just a holy grave.

6. The tomb should be understood to signify NOT A BUILDING but only the grave or cenotaph inside it. This would help people to realise that all dead Muslim courtiers and royalty including Humayun, Akbar, Mumtaz, Etmad-ud-Daula and Safdarjang have been buried in captured Hindu mansions and temples.

7. Moreover, if the Taj is believed to be a burial place, how can the term Mahal, i.e., mansion apply to it?

8. Since the term Taj Mahal does not occur in mogul courts it is absurd to search for any mogul explanation for it. Both its components namely, 'Taj' and' Mahal' are of Sanskrit origin.
