It is a tall Minar(tower) built by artisan Iltutmish named "Qutab Minar" and dedicated to Qut Ub uddin aybak. This is the British-Muslim version of history, not the real one.
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, mathemati- cians 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 constel- lations of the Hindu Zodiac.
Kutubuddin has left us an inscription that he destroyed these pavilions. But he has not said that he raised any tower. The ravaged temple was renamed as Kuwat-ul-Islam mosque.
Stones dislodged from the so-called Kutub Minar have Hindu images on one side with Arabic lettering on the other. Those stones have now been removed to the Museum. They clearly show that Muslim invaders used to remove the stone- dressing of Hindu buildings, turn the stones inside out to hide the image facial and inscribe Arabic lettering on the new frontage.
Bits of Sanskrit inscriptions can still be deciphered in the premises on numerous pillars and walls. Numerous images still adorn the cornices though disfigured.

Qutub Minar was not built by the Mughals. Qutub-ud-din Aibak of Slave dynasty started the construction of Qutub Minar which was later completed by his successor Sultan Shams-ud-din Iltutmish.
Qutab Minar is affected by pollution because there are large industrial areas in the city that let off smoke and pollutants into the air. This is similar to that of many other cities throughout the world.
because aibak wanted to compete with the guptas
Sheikh Qutub-ud-in Bakhtiyar of slave dynasty built it
Because tourist climb the top of minaret and jump down in the form of suside that is why tourist are not allowed to climb Qutub minar
