Indianama - Qutub Minar

Delhi’s rich history and heritage is also a story of monuments marking the beginning of eras and kingdoms. One of the oldest such monuments is Qutub Minar which marks the establishment of Dilli Sultanate.
Qutub Minar was commissioned by Qutbuddin Aibak, who laid the foundation of Mamluk dynasty rule in India.
Nearly 73 meters or 240 feet high this tower is built on the pattern of victory tower at Ghazni, it remains to this day one of the most spectacular of buildings in India dating to the medieval era. Though the construction began in 1192 AD, Qutbuddin Aibak didn’t live enough to see it completed. The minar was eventually completed in 1220 by his successor Iltutmish.

    Excellent Video !!! Very Informative.. there is NO doubt that the brutal & fanatic Islamic Mughal rule in India faced stiff resistance at different periods from the great RAJPUT warriors, fierce AHOM warriors from Assam & from Punjab the brave SIKH warriors...India's strength lies in Unity in Diversity. Rightly did the great Hindi Poet Bhushana, who forsook the royal favours of the Mughal court to come over to Shivaji to record his glories, he sang :-“काशी की कला जाती, मथुरा की मसजीद बनती, अगर शिवाजी ना होते तो सबकी सुन्नत होती.” meaning : (Had not there been Shivaji, Kashi would have lost its culture,Mathura would have been turned into a mosque and all would have been circumcised.) If not for Shivaji and the Marathas, there would have existed a continuous Islamic belt from Morocco to Indonesia. What addition of 1 billion more adherents to Islam would have done to the world power balance or what would have happened to Indian legacy like yoga, ayurveda, music, art and philosophy, is not difficult to guess…. It is worthwhile examining the 'what if' of Indias history, Aurengzeb, Akbars great great grandson, had embarked on the 'Islamisation' of India. The Marathas, inspired by Shivaji, fought Aurengzeb and saved India from following the fate of Persia. The proof of Maratha victory lies in the fact that Aurengzeb lies buried, not in Lahore /Delhi or Agra , but near Aurangabad in good old Maharashtra... Indian history before Shivaji's advent reads like a chronicle of military disasters. Shivaji changed all that. He used Guerilla Tactics very effectively. Shivaji, as a great warrior & visionary laid a strong and solid foundation that after his death in 1680, there was a series of battles fought between Marathas and Mughals from 1681 to 1707 known as 'War of 27 years' and ended with the death of Aurangzeb in 1707. The Marathas eventually emerged victorious and consolidated their lost territories. This was further expanded by the Peshwas. The Maratha empire reached its peak in summer of 1758 with the conquest of Attock, which is banks of Indus river in Pakistan today. Its eastern frontier was today’s Orissa, being ruled by Raghuji Bhosale of Nagpur. Maratha armies had also reached upto Murshidabad, but then retreated and settled for tribute from Bengal and control of Orissa. To the south, in 1758, territories upto the fort of Gurramkonda in Kadappah district were held. Also, Tanjore (Thanjavur) was under Marathas, but that was a different line. In 1761, the PANIPAT war was lost to the Afghans but Marathas RECOVERED quickly like phoenix bird within 10 years and brought the whole of North Indian again under their control during the 1770's under leadership of Madhavrao Peshwa..Marathas also defeated the Nizam of Hyderabad and Hyder Ali- Tipu Sultan of Mysore. Eventually, the Marathas grew stronger and fought the British in three Anglo-Maratha Wars (1775-82, 1803-05, 1817-18), In the First Anglo-Maratha War (1775-1782) the Marathas emerged Victorious. A Vijay Stambh (Victory Pillar) erected to commemorate Maratha victory over British is located at Vadgaon/Wadgaon Maval, close to the city of Pune. The 2nd and 3rd were subsequently lost and British established themselves which was followed by the Uprising of 1857 . (-By the way, just for your G.K, Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is also considered as the 'Father of the Indian Navy' AND Apart from Jijabai, 2 well known Women personalities emerging from the Maratha empire were Devi AHILYABAI HOLKAR and RANI LAXMIBAI of Jhansi also known as Manikarnika.-) Hearty Salute to the sacrifice made by our Great Sikhs, Rajputs, Marathas and Ahom warriors for standing up to brutality and defending Mother India ! Jai HIND !!! VANDE MATARAAM !! VANDE MATARAAM !! VANDE MATARAAM !! VANDE MATARAAM !! VANDE MATARAAM !!

    Awesome Video !!! Thanks a lot ! We all agree that Aurangazeb (son of a Pig) was a religious fanatic and a tyrant.If you read the Mogul history we can very clearly understand this - (1)He never cared the religious sentiments of any other religion and neither respected them. (2)For converting other religion people he never hesitated to use any tactics, including torturing in inhuman and brutal ways and never ever regretted for it.(eg) The way he tortured Sambaji,the son of Chatrapathi Shivaji is a solid proof of his inhuman attitude and intolerant nature. (3)He had also ordered destruction of the Hindu temples for their idol worship and proved his intolerance. There are still several untold events of his brutal activities against other religions and its believers,particularly the Hindus and the Sikhs to prove that this most crooked devil as the most evil ruler of this country. DID YOU KNOW - Last words of bastard Aurangzeb on his death-bed to his sons: ‘I know not who I am, where I shall go , or what will happen to this sinner, full of sins. Now I will say good-bye to every one in this world and entrust every one to the care of God. . . . My years have gone by profitless. God has been in my heart, yet my darkened eyes have not recognized His light. . . There is no hope for me in the future. The fever is gone, but only the skin is left. . . . The army is confounded, and without heart or help, even as I am; apart from God, with no rest for the heart. . . When I have lost hope in myself, how can I hope in others? . . . You should accept my last will. . . I have greatly sinned and know not what torment awaits me. . . ’ NOW YOU KNOW
