Description:

The real history of Qutub Minar is layered and often debated. It was started in 1192 by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, the first ruler of the Delhi Sultanate, and later completed by his successor Iltutmish. The 73‑meter‑high minaret was built to celebrate the victory of Muslim rule in Delhi and served as a tower to call the faithful to prayer at the nearby Quwwat‑ul‑Islam Mosque, one of the earliest mosques in India. However, there are historical claims that the mosque and parts of the Minar were built using materials from demolished Hindu and Jain temples, evident from the carvings and pillars within the complex. Lets uncover the truth in today's video.
