Qutub Minar was not created by Mughal emperor QutubDinAibak. It was originally a Hindu temple demolished by him and then modified it to form a Muslim structure. References from the below pages: http://agniveer.com/qutub-minar-hindu-structure/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lens-aiSXqg
QutubDinAibak had demolished 27 Hindu temples and this is one of them. There are multiple proofs that it has been stated incorrectly. If we dare cannot write the truth, we should atleast mention that there is a controversy on this. RTI has been filed with the Indian Government for the same.

Not done. Those sources don't appear to be reliable. One is a blog site that advocates a particular point of view wile failing to reference any scholarly or otherwise reliable works, and the other is a YouTube video. Both appear to be self-published sources, which Wikipedia cannot use. If you believe the sources to be reliable, please present your case at WP:RSN to get a community consensus. ~Anachronist (talk) 22:58, 12 April 2019 (UTC)- This is covered adequately at Qutb Minar complex, where it belongs. It is the mosque not the tower that is built over a destroyed temple, and reusing material from that & many other temples. As there is an inscription proudly recording this on the mosque, it has always been in all books etc. Johnbod (talk) 23:00, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
