No, Minar e Pakistan is not one of the seven wonders of Pakistan. But, Pakistanis worth it more than seven wonders, because it reminds them of the great struggle of their forefathers to get a separate homeland for coming generations.

Before 1981, the general public could climb to the top of Qutub Minar by climbing up the seven-storey, narrow staircase. However, on 4 December 1981 an accident occurred when an electricity cut plunged the tower's staircase into darkness. Around 45 people were killed in the stampede that followed the electricity failure. Most of the victims were children because, before 1981, school children were allowed free access to historical monuments on Fridays, and many school groups were taking advantage of this. Subsequently, public access has been forbidden.

Qutub Minar was built as a victory tower to celebrate the victory of Mohammed Ghori over the Prithviraj

The exact reason is assumed to have something related to commemorating the victory. Mughals used to build victory towers to proclaim and celebrate victories. Some say the Minaret was used to offer prayer, but it is so tall that you can hear the person standing on the top. Also, the Minaret is not joined on to Qutuddin's mosque and the Iltutmish's mosque

The Qutb Minar is a tower in Delhi, India which stands at 72.5 meters (237.8 ft). The lower three storeys of the minaret are made mainly of a buff colored quartzite, a type of red sandstone and the top two stories are constructed using white marble.

The potential of the area as an archaeological park was clear from the onset and its proximity to the World Heritage Site made it more attractive, possibly as an extension to the WHS or a buffer zone. The significance of the site led the government to focus their resources here for the past eight years. During this period, 35 monuments have undergone conservation work and heritage trails and signage are being established (proposed in 1997 but approved for funding and implementation only in 2003) to convert this area into a sensitive archaeological park rather than a sanitation ground.

The effort involved lobbying with the political leadership and officials from various departments, from the chief minister to the gardener or guard, as a result of which Delhi Tourism has consistently funded the conservation initiatives over six phases of work. DDA, the land owning agency cooperates in maintaining the horticultural component of the park; the MCD and the Delhi Water Supply and Sewage undertaking has carried out a considerable quantum of work to convert open drains into underground pipes. The Archaeological Survey of India protects and owns four buildings within the park and along with the State Department of Archaeology has now taken steps to extend its ownership and protection to buildings already conserved. The Delhi Police have stepped up vigil to make the area safe and to ensure no encroachments take place. Above all, government led public awareness campaigns have often led to workshops for schoolchildren being held at this locale.

Qutub minar was built by Qutbuddn Aibak till the first storey then he died and it was completed by Iltutmish. This is the Muslim version of the history. The real history is different.

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 is made of rad sandstone and white marble: 5 stories are made from red sandstone and the two stories of the top are made from white marble.

The Qutub Minar is a tower located in Delhi, India. It is the world's tallest brick minaret. It was built by Qutub-ud-din Aibak an emperor of India and was later finished by Illtutmish in A.D. 1198. It is made up of red and buff sandstone.

Qutab minar is taller, being the tallest minar in India.

The Qutb Minar is a tower in Delhi, India which stands at 72.5 meters (237.8 ft). The lower three storeys of the minaret are made mainly of a buff colored quartzite, a type of red sandstone and the top two stories are constructed using white marble.
