The Qutub Minar is a UNESCO world heritage site in South Delhi. The name literally means victory tower. Qutbu’d-Din Aibak laid the foundation of this monument in 1199 AD and it was later completed by his successor and son-in-law Shamsu’d-Din Iltutmish. The Qutub complex in Mehrauli, Delhi, illustrates magnificent ancient and medieval indo-islamic architecture. In this complex lies an iron pillar, known as the Kirti stambh (victory column) which was built by Chandragupta II in (circa) the 3rd or 4th Century CE.<\/p>\n

Social media users have shared an image that claims to be of the iron pillar in the Qutub complex. The pillar has the names of Hindu rulers engraved on it. Some users claimed these Hindu rulers were the ancestors of the Mughals who ruled a large part of India in the 16th and 17th centuries.<\/p>\n
