The construction of Qutab Minar was started by Qutub-ud-udin Aibak in 1199 and it was completed by his son-in-law Iltutmish in 1236

Qutub-udin Aibak

Arab beduins, Turks and Mongols, the Muslims who invaded India were barbarians, nomadic, uncivilised people. They never had any buildings in their own countries which are still mainly deserts. They could not design a building like Qutub Minar or Taj Mahal.

Qutub Minar was a Hindy astronomical observatory. When the Turkish invader occupied Delhi, they destroyed more than 90 Hindu temples located in the same area along with the Asoke's steel pilar.

Uncivilized Turks did not know the significance of these; so they called it just a minar.
