History of the Qutub Minar (Delhi): Who Built It, When and Why | Medieval Indian History
Qutub Minar stands regally tall in Delhi but it is as mysterious as it's historical. What's the history of Qutub Minar really? Was the Qutub Minar really built by Qutub-ud-din Aibak as we're often told in our history lessons? Or does it carry remnants of an India from much before 1199 AD?
This is the real, unbiased history of the Qutub Minar, the most visited UNESCO World Heritage Site in New Delhi, India, with over 3 million visitors annually.
Yes, it raises more questions than it answers but that's, more often than not, the case with history.

Qutb Minar Delhi ???????? Beautiful India
Built in the early 13th century a few kilometres south of Delhi, the red sandstone tower of Qutb Minar is 72.5 m high, tapering from 2.75 m in diameter at its peak to 14.32 m at its base, and alternating angular and rounded flutings. The surrounding archaeological area contains funerary buildings, notably the magnificent Alai-Darwaza Gate, the masterpiece of Indo-Muslim art (built in 1311), and two mosques, including the Quwwatu'l-Islam, the oldest in northern India, built of materials reused from some 20 Brahman temples.

Today we are visiting the most visited and famous Historical Monument of India and Delhi Qutub Minar which is also mentioned as Qutb Minar and Kutub Minar. It is the 12th Century Marvel of India.
The Qutb Minar, also spelled Qutub Minar and Qutab Minar, is a minaret that forms part of the Qutb complex, which lies at the site of Delhi’s oldest fortified city, Lal Kot. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Mehrauli area of South Delhi, India.It is one of the most visited tourist spots in the city, mostly built between 1199 and 1220
It can be compared to the 62-metre all-brick Minaret of Jam in Afghanistan, of c. 1190, which was constructed a decade or so before the probable start of the Delhi tower.The surfaces of both are elaborately decorated with inscriptions and geometric patterns. The Qutb Minar has a shaft that is fluted with superb stalactite bracketing under the balconies at the top of each stage.[n general, minarets were slow to be used in India and are often detached from the main mosque where they exist.

Qutb Minar (India) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Qutb Minar in India.
Fifteen kilometres south of Delhi is one of the most important Islamic monuments in India, the Qutb Minar Complex. A mosque is all that remains of the legendary city of Lal Kot, a city from where Islamic rule spread throughout northern India. The city dates back to 1193 A.D., the year when Muslim invaders first settled on the Indian subcontinent. The development of Lal Kot and the construction of Qutb Minar toward the end of the 12th century accelerated the spread of Islam. The founder of Delhi’s first city was Qutb-Du-Din-Aibak who was made governor of the city by the Afghan conqueror, Mohammed Of Ghur. Above the ruins of the Hindu temples that had been incorporated into the architecture, Qurwat-Ul-Islam evolved, a mosque known as The Might Of Islam. The remnants of no less than twenty seven destroyed Hindu and Jain sacred buildings were used in the construction of the first mosque on Indian soil. Until quite recently the tall victory tower that was probably inspired by a similar structure in Afghanistan, was open to the public. However, due to a tragic accident within the tower the authorities have since closed it to the public. Nevertheless, Qutb Minar provides a fascinating and atmospheric insight into the early years of Muslim sovereignty in India.

The Qutub Minar (Delhi - India)
30/07/2018
Qutub Minar (Urdu: قطب منار) is the tallest brick minaret in the world, and an important example of Indo-Islamic Architecture. The tower is in the Qutb complex in South Delhi, India. The Qutb Minar and its monuments are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Qutub Minar is 72.5 metres high (237.8 ft) and requires 399 steps to get to the top, although it has not been possible for visitors to ascend the tower for some years, due to safety reasons. The diameter of the base is 14.3 metres wide while the top floor measures 3.8 metres in diameter. (As a comparison, the 111m Saturn V rockets used during the Apollo moon landings stood one-and-a-half times taller).
Inspired by the Minaret of Jam in Afghanistan and wishing to surpass it, Qutb-ud-din Aybak, the first Muslim ruler of Delhi, commenced construction of the Qutub Minar in 1193; but could only complete its basement. His successor, Iltutmish, added three more stories and, in 1368, Firuz Shah Tughluq constructed the fifth and the last story. The development of architectural styles from Aibak to Tuglak are quite evident in the minaret. Like earlier towers erected by the Ghaznavids and Ghurids in Afghanistan, the Qutub Mahal comprises several superposed flanged and cylindrical shafts, separated by balconies carried on Muqarnas corbels. The minaret is made of fluted red sandstone covered with intricate carvings and verses from the Qur'an. The Qutub Minar is itself built on the ruins of Lal Kot, the Red Citadel in the city of Dhillika, the capital of the Jat Tomars and the Chauhans, the last Hindu rulers of Delhi.
According to John Keay's History of India, 27 previous Hindu and Jain temples were destroyed and their materials reused to construct the minar.
The purpose for building this beautiful monument has been speculated upon, apart from the usual role of a minaret—that of calling people for prayer in a mosque—in this case the Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque to the northeast of minar in AD 1198. It is the earliest extant mosque built by the Delhi Sultans. Other reasons ascribed to its construction are as a tower of victory, a monument signifying the might of Islam, or a watch tower for defence. Controversy also surrounds the origins for the name of the tower. Many historians believe that the Qutb Minar was named after the first Turkish sultan, Qutb-ud-din Aibak but others contend that it was named in honour of Khwaja Qutb-ud-din Bakhtiar Kaki of Ush, a saint from Baghdad who came to live in India who was greatly venerated by Iltutmish. According to the inscriptions on its surface it was repaired by Firuz Shah Tughlaq (AD 1351--88) and Sikandar Lodi (AD 1489--1517). Major R.Smith also repaired and restored the minar in 1829.

Qutab-Minar and the monuments around it
A wide view of the Qutub-Minar in the evening light as it stands between two ruins. The path towards the red sandstone tower where rows of pillared halls can be seen. A wide view of Ashoka's 'Iron Pillar' with the backdrop of the Qutab-Minar. It is a wide complex with ruins and well built graves. Behind the Qutb-Minar, the Alai Darwaza stands. Libraries of the ancient times in ruins are also seen here. A view of the monument after sundown.
Qutab Minar is a soaring, 73 m-high tower of victory, built in 1193 by Qutab-ud-din Aibak immediately after the defeat of Delhi's last Hindu kingdom. The tower has five distinct storeys, each marked by a projecting balcony and tapers from a 15 m diameter at the base to just 2.5 m at the top. The first three storeys are made of red sandstone; the fourth and fifth storeys are of marble and sandstone. At the foot of the tower is the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque, the first mosque to be built in India. An inscription over its eastern gate provocatively informs that it was built with material obtained from demolishing '27 Hindu temples'. A 7 m-high iron pillar stands in the courtyard of the mosque. It is said that if you can encircle it with your hands while standing with your back to it your wish will be fulfilled.
The origins of Qutab Minar are shrouded in controversy. Some believe it was erected as a tower of victory to signify the beginning of the Muslim rule in India. Others say it served as a minaret to the muezzins to call the faithful to prayer.
No one can, however, dispute that the tower is not only one of the finest monuments in India, but also in the world. Qutab-ud-din Aibak, the first Muslim ruler of Delhi, commenced the construction of the Qutab Minar in 1200 AD, but could only finish the basement. His successor, Iltutmush, added three more storeys, and in 1368, Firoz Shah Tughlak constructed the fifth and the last storey.

भारत की राजधानी दिल्ली में स्थित कुतुब मीनार एशिया की सबसे ऊंची मीनार है। ये वास्तुकला का एक ऐसा अद्भुत नमूना है, जो कि भारत की सबसे भव्य और मशहूर ऐतिहासिक इमारतों में से एक है। इसके आर्कषण की वजह से ये यूनेस्को की विश्व धरोहरों की लिस्ट में भी शामिल है। नवंबर के महीने में गुनगुनी धूप में मैं पहुंची इसी खूबसूरत परिसर में... भारत की इसी भव्य मीनार को मुझे cover करना था और इससे जुड़ी तमाम जानकारियां हासिल करनी थी। कई ऐसे विवाद जो इसे लेकर हमेशा से उठते रहे हैं उनकी भी पूरी पड़ताल कर real facts को सबूतों के आधार पर खंगालने की कोशिश थी।
चाहतें हैं मेरी कुतुब मीनार सी ऊंची
जो खंडहर भी हो जाऊं तो खास रहूंगी
खामोश खड़ी हूं सुकून की तलाश में
सुनहरे लफ्जों में लिखी इतिहास रहूंगी
–श्वेता जया
कुतुब मीनार दिल्ली के महरौली इलाके में छत्तरपुर मंदिर के पास स्थित है। यह विश्व की दूसरी सबसे ऊंची मीनार है, जिसका निर्माण 12वीं और 13वीं शताब्दी के बीच में कई अलग-अलग शासकों द्वारा करवाया गया। ये एक बहुमंजिला इमारत हैं, जिसकी 5 अलग-अलग मंजिल हैं, इस मीनार की खास बात यह है कि कुतुबमीनार की मंजिलों का निर्माण अलग-अलग शासकों द्वारा करवाया गया है।
ऊंची ऊंची सी हैं उम्मीदों की मीनारें
लौट आई हैं फिर से जैसे कूचों की रौनक़ें
इस भव्य मीनार के निर्माण में लाल बलुआ पत्थर और मार्बल का इस्तेमाल किया गया है, जिसमें अंदर करीब 379 सीढ़ियां हैं। करीब 73 मीटर ऊंची ये मीनार है।
भारत की इस ऊंची मीनार की सबसे आखिरी मंजिल से पूरे दिल्ली शहर का शानदार और अद्भुत नजारा दिखाई देता है।
इस भव्य इमारत के पत्थरों पर बनी कुरान की आयतें कुतुबमीनार की सुंदरता को चार चांद लगाती हैं और इसके आर्कषण को और अधिक बढ़ा देती हैं।
कुछ इतिहासकारों का मानना है कि इस भव्य मीनार का नाम गुलाम वंश के शासक और दिल्ली सल्तनत के पहले मुस्लिम शासक कुतुब-उद-दिन ऐबक के नाम पर रखा गया है। जबकि कुछ इतिहासकारों के मुताबिक इसका नाम मशहूर मुस्लिम सूफी संत ख्वाजा कुतुबुद्दीन बख्तियार के नाम पर रखा गया था।
इस मीनार के निर्माण को लेकर ये भी कहा जाता है कि इस भव्य मीनार का Structure राजपूत टावरों से प्रेरित होकर बनाया गया था। तो वहीं इसके इन्डो-इस्लामिक शैली में बनाए जाने का भी प्रमाण है।
इतिहास में ऐसे प्रमाण और लिखित दस्तावेज भी मिले हैं जिनके आधार पर कुछ historian मानते हैं कि कुतुब मीनार एक हिंदू इमारत, विष्णु स्तम्भ है।
क्यों बनवाया गया था कुतुब मीनार?
कुतुब मीनार का अर्थ खगोलीय स्तम्भ या टॉवर होता है। तो क्या ये एक खगोलीय टावर है जिसका निर्माण खगोलशास्त्र की स्टडी के लिए किया गया था? या ये कोई विजय स्तंभ है जिसका निर्माण युद्ध में जीत के बाद हुआ या अजान के लिए बुलाने का टावर? हमेशा से इसको लेकर भी सवाल उठते रहे हैं।
वहीं इसे लेकर एक और दावा प्रचलित रहा है, कुतुब मीनार के पास जो बस्ती है उसे महरौली कहा जाता है। यह एक संस्कृत शब्द है जिसे मिहिर-अवेली कहा जाता है। इस कस्बे के बारे में कहा जा सकता है कि यहां पर famous खगोलज्ञ मिहिर रहा करते थे। उनके साथ उनकी टीम थी और ये लोग इस कथित कुतुब टॉवर का खगोलीय study के लिए प्रयोग करते थे।
इस दावे को तब और बल मिला जब एक मुस्लिम विद्वान सैयद अहमद खान ने लिखा कि यह मीनार एक हिंदू इमारत है। अगर आप टॉवर के शीर्ष पर एक एयरोप्लेन से देखें तो आपको ये एक 24 पंखुड़ी वाले किसी पूरी तरह से खिले कमल की तरह दिखाई देती हैं।
वहीं जाट इतिहास के अनुसार कुतुबुद्दीन ऐबक को मीनार तो क्या, अपने लिए महल और किला बनाने तक का समय जाटों ने नहीं दिया। उसने तो सिर्फ 4 साल ही शासन किया, जिसमें हमेशा हमलों से परेशान रहा।
Timing-
ये सप्ताह में सभी दिन open रहता है और सुबह 6 बजे से शाम 6 बजे तक खुला रहता है।
यहां कैसे पहुंचें?
यहां आप अपनी गाड़ी या मेट्रो ट्रेन से भी पहुंच सकते हैं। इसके सबसे पास कुतुबमीनार मेट्रो स्टेशन है। यहां दिल्ली के लोकल बस के माध्यम से भी पहुंच सकते हैं।ऑटो एवं कैब के माध्यम से भी यहां तक आसानी से पहुंचा जा सकता है।
देश के कई ऐसे मॉन्यूमेंट्स और धार्मिक स्थल हैं जिनको लेकर सवाल उठते रहे हैं और विवाद पैदा होते रहे हैं। चाहे बात ताजमहल की हो या लाल किले और विश्वनाथ मंदिर की... बनावट, संरचना, निर्माण काल और बनवाने वालों को लेकर भी सवाल उठाए जाते रहे हैं... इनमें कभी कुछ साक्ष्यों का हवाला दिया जाता है तो कभी सिर्फ कपोल कल्पना भी बहस खड़ी कर देती है लेकिन इन्हें लेकर मैं दो बातें महसूस करती हूं। पहली ये कि ये सभी एतिहासिक धरोहर अब हिंदुस्तान की कला और संस्कृति का भव्य उदाहरण हैं और दूसरी बात ये कि इन एतिहासिक धरोहरों को करीब से देखकर और खुद से इनकी वास्तविकता को समझकर ही हम हकीकत का पता लगा सकते हैं। तो यूरोप अमेरिका और दुबई की सैर करने से पहले आप अपने देश की यात्रा कीजिए और इसे समझने की कोशिश कीजिए।

QUTUB MINAR a UNESCO World Heritage Site 4K
The Qutub Minar, also spelled as Qutab Minar, or Qutb Minar, is a minaret that forms a part of the Qutab complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Mehrauli area of Delhi, India. Qutub Minar is a 73-metre (239.5 feet) tall tapering tower of five storeys, with a 14.3 metres (47 feet) base diameter, reducing to 2.7 metres (9 feet) at the peak. It contains a spiral staircase of 379 steps. Its design is thought to have been based on the Minaret of Jam, in western Afghanistan. Qutab Ud-Din-Aibak, founder of the Delhi Sultanate, started construction of the Qutub Minar's first storey around 1192. In 1220, Aibak's successor and son-in-law Iltutmish completed a further three storeys. In 1369, a lightning strike destroyed the top storey. Firoz Shah Tughlaq replaced the damaged storey, and added one more.Sher Shah suri also added an entrance to this tower while he was ruling and Humayun was in exile.

No one can, however, dispute that the tower is not only one of the finest monuments in India, but also in the world. Qutab-ud-din Aibak, the first Muslim ruler of Delhi, commenced the construction of the Qutab Minar in 1200 AD, but could only finish the basement. His successor, Iltutmush, added three more storeys, and in 1368, Firoz Shah Tughlak constructed the fifth and the last storey.
The development of architectural styles from Aibak to Tughlak is quite evident in the minar. The relief work and even the materials used for construction differ. The 238 feet Qutab Minar is 47 feet at the base and tapers to nine feet at the apex. The tower is ornamented by bands of inscriptions and by four projecting balconies supported by elaborately decorated brackets. Even though in ruins, the Quwwat Ui Islam (Light of Islam) Mosque in the Qutab complex is one of the most magnificent structures in the world. Qutab-ud-din Aibak started its construction in 1193 and the mosque was completed in 1197.
Iltutmush in 1230 and Alla-ud-din Khilji in 1315 made additions to the building. The main mosque comprises an inner and outer courtyard, decorated with shafts and surrounded by piller. Most of these shafts are from the 27 Hindu temples, which were plundered to construct the mosque. It is, therefore, not surprising that the Muslim mosque has typical Hindu ornamentation. Close to the mosque is one of Delhi's most curious antiques, the Iron Pillar.
