Akbar's descendant claims that Taj Mahal is his, know where the descendants of Mughals live

It has been many decades since the monarchy ended in India, but some people still claim to be related to their royal lineage. One such name is Prince Yakub Habibuddin Tusi, who claims himself to be the sixth generation descendant of the last Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar. According to him, his blood relation is linked to Mughal emperors Aurangzeb, Shah Jahan and Akbar. He has claimed his rights on many historical heritages, due to which he often remains in the headlines.

Claimed ownership of Taj Mahal

Prince Tussi came into the limelight when he claimed his right over the Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahal, which was built by Shah Jahan for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, is one of the most famous buildings in India. Tussi also got a DNA test done in the court, which was accepted by the Hyderabad court. This claim attracted a lot of media attention, although the government or any other institution did not recognize it.

Name came in Ayodhya dispute

Prince Tussi's name also came up in the long dispute over the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya. When the Waqf Board claimed rights over the land of Babri Masjid, Tussi said that if this property belonged to Babur, then the real right over it belongs to him and his family. However, he also said that he has no objection to the construction of Ram temple. He also offered to donate a gold brick for the construction of the temple.

Guardians of Aurangzeb's Tomb

Prince Tusi also calls himself the Mutawalli (custodian) of the tomb of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb located in Maharashtra. He is very active in the security of this historical site. Some time ago, after incidents of damage to the tomb, he wrote a letter to the President of India demanding to ensure its security.

Royal lifestyle and identity

Prince Tusi also maintains his royal identity. He is often seen wearing long royal robes and Mughal-like hats. His social media profiles also reflect his royal heritage, where he tries to show the grandeur of the Mughal Empire.
