Qutab Minar, New Delhi.

Qutab Minar or “Tower of Victory” 73 m-high tower of victory was built-in 1193 by Qutab-ud-din Aibak. Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque was the first mosque was built next to it.

Mughal Architecture are famous world wide, but are those really Mughal architecture or stolen pieces from the indigenous people that lived there, that were subjected to slavery and unspeakable tyranny?

Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque was built by pieces and carvings of 27 destroyed Hindu temples, as it is stated clearly below -

As it is a known fact that Mughals destroyed approximately 40,000 Hindu and Jain temples during their ~300 years of invasion in India.

There are many deities in the complex that are placed in the most disrespectful way. It is not a doubt that this complex, the minar especially was to mock the Hindus that it belonged to. There is carvings of Cows, a holy and sacred animal in Hinduism, that can be seen in many Hindu temples to this day, but not in any mosque whatsoever.

According to Islam, The bell being instrument of Satan, yet there are carvings on pillars of Bells - an instrument that is widely and always used in Hindu Practices.

There are Brahmi and Sanskrit inscriptions found in various spots in the pillar and around the complex.

So what Exactly was Qutab Minar.

The township adjoining the Kutub Minar is known as Mehrauli. That is a Sanskrit word Mihira-awali. It signifies the town- ship where the well known astronomer Mihira of Vikramaditya's court lived along with his helpers, mathematicians and technicians. They used the so-called Kutub tower as an observation post for astronomical study. Around the tower were pavilions dedicated to the 27 constellations of the Hindu Zodiac.

The Hindu title of the tower was Vishnu Dhwaj (i.e. Vishnu’s standard) alias Vishnu Stambh alias Dhruv Stambh (i.e., a polar pillar) obviously connoting an astronomical observation tower.

The Sanskrit inscription in Brahmi script on the non-rusting iron pillar close by proclaims that the lofty standard of Vishnu was raised on the hillock named Vishnupad Giri. That description indicates that a statue of the reclining Vishnu initiating the creation was consecrated in the central shrine there which was ravaged by Mohammad Ghori and his henchman Qutubuddin.

Presence of lotus flowers on the minar’s inscriptions. Lotus flowers do not feature in any Islamic structures of that era. Lotus flower buds have been covered with verses from the Quran. Lotus flowers if we observe are seen in Hindu temples.

Know your history.

Humayun's tomb in New Delhi was built by his widow, Bega Begum, who is also known by another name 'Haji Begum'. The name was given to her because of her pilgrimage to Mecca.

After the ascension of Akbar, it was expected that Bega Begum would go live with her stepson but instead, she chose to stay back in Delhi and build her husband's mausoleum. For this task, she had brought back masons and artisans from Arabia and a site was chosen to build the first example of a Mughal Persianate Garden tomb as a mausoleum. The design was exquisite - the first to combine elements of Central Asian architecture with Hindustani elements.
