No, it doesn’t. However, what we now call “Pakistan” was as much part of the Mughal Empire as Delhi or Agra. Anyone seeing the Taj Mahal, whether in real life or on a shop sign, should think “Moslem.”

Have you actually visited the Taj Mahal? I doubt you did. The Taj Mahal is not a mosque. The people who actually built it were Hindus. The Taj Mahal incorporated elements from Islamic, Hindu and even western a architecture.
As for Mughal Empire, even Bangladesh was part of Mughal Empire and they are Muslims too. Pakistan was part of the Mughal empire (until they fell to the Sikhs) just as it was part of Delhi Sultanate, Kushan empire, Gupta Empire, and Mauryan Empire before that. They dont have any special connection to Taj Mahal. In fact the Sikh Temple of Nankana Sahib, Maharaja Ranjit Singh's Tomb, The Seesh Mahal or the Minar e Pakistan would have been more “Pakistani” then Taj Mahal.

And if they really need something âMoslemâ they could try Badshahi Mosque. When people look at Taj Mahal they dont think “Moslem” they think “India”.
