Article about the Qutab Minar !

people i got this article abt the qutub minar from the times of india..


Qutub Minar

Not a single guide is visible at this world heritage monument. It takes some hunting to secure the services of GC Arya. "When Mohammed Ghauri defeated Prithviraj Chauhan, he erected the Qutub Minar," he says. Another guide, a history 'expert', has a different view: "The Qutub Minar was built by Prithviraj Chauhan for his daughter to see the Yamuna." Now, it's Arya's turn: "Lord Cunningham used the Qutub as a sun dial. Back then, there was a sixth floor which was struck by lightning and collapsed." You mention that the Qutub reminds you of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Clarifies Arya: "That's an optical illusion." Apparently, our history textbooks have got it all wrong.
