Frankly, I dont think there is anything special about the Taj Mahal that makes it one of the seven wonders of the world. There have been other mosques/other monuments that surpass it in terms of beauty and history (hagia sophia, blue mosque, sultan ahmed mosque, anyone)? iMO, the taj mahal got in because of india's population and their efforts. This goes on to show that if enough bangladeshis try, we can get the sundorbons and/or cox's bazar on the next n7w.
And no, before others jump on me, i am not an India hater.
The others pretty much deserve it. The Statue of Christ the Redeemer is especially mesmerizing.
