Wrong comparison. Both are Hindu Monuments. There are many points to prove Qutub minar as Hindu.

Some simple points...
1. If Sultans built so grand edifice, Self obsessed Sultans couldnt build Royal palace for themselves in the place?

2. They must build it from the scrap after destroying the Jain & Hindu temples there, but the Minar intricacy cannot be brought on the scrap. So it existed already
3. The expertise of this building alone cannot be seen any contemporary buildings of Sultans. The domes they built on destroyed temples don't stand today. How does minar still stand?
4. Leave alone stone carving, they have used only mud & stones to build structures which are ruined.

5. The smaller monuments that are seen are constructed by the local artisans under the nook of the Knife.
6. If they have really built the minar, the magnificence must have repeated in other places. It doesn't.

7. If they had such expertise couldn't have mughals built one such with so much time in their hands. Apart from Taj minars, they could built a Hiran Minar.
8. In reality the science behind Qutub minar could not be perceived by sultans to make one such anywhere.

9. It was a normal tradition to Indians to build such tall "Sthambhas" like Vijay sthambh, Kirti sthambh defying the gravity.
10. Quoting examples like "Jam Minar" that was entirely built of bricks as the reason for Qutub minar is utter baseless. A Civil engineer can explain the complexities.
Chand minar in Daultabad, Jhulta minar in Amdabad, few other minars in Champaner cannot be used to justify the architectural excellence of Qutub minar. Its like comapring rat to Elephant. Even then all these are built by Indian artisans.

***
There are many architectural points to prove. Keeping all of them aside, just show me one minar constructed in this plan anywhere in India or Islamic world.
I will never bring the argument forth again.

"Only Indians have done this multiple times"

This 1000 years old majestic “Vaikunta Vishnu/ Vaikuntha Chaturmurti” is from Lakshmana Temple Khajuraho.

@ReclaimTemples @punarutthana @LostTemple7 @narendramodi @PawanKalyan @kishanreddybjp @M_Lekhi Image
Vaikunta Vishnu/ Vaikuntha Chaturmurti was once worshipped widely in Kashmir region.

Though finding him in other parts of India is rare, this one from Madhya Bharath indicates about his worship out of Kashmir too.
Verse 43, of the Yashovarman (Lakshavarman) inscription in the temple links the Murti to Kashmir.

The Verse 1 of Yashovarman Inscription mentions about the four forms in the Murti as Narasimha, Vishnu, Hayagriva (in the front) + Kapila (in the back).

The temples that were never consecrated...

The earliest and finest Rock-Cut Temples are the "Pancha - Vimanas" of Mamallapuram.

@ReclaimTemples @punarutthana @LostTemple7 @TheSaveTemples @wiavastukala @narendramodi @prahladspatel
They are locally called "Pancha Pandava Rathas", though they have no relation to the Pandavas. 

The one visible here is the "DharmaRaja Ratha" or the proper "Dravida Vimana" carved incomplete under the patronage of the Pallava King NarasimhaVarman I.
In temple building activity, the "Purna Kumbha" is the last element to be completed.

The placing of PurnaKumbha on the central top of the Shikhara of the temple called "Kendra Garbha", officially means the Final closure of the roof.

Let's be clear on this.
There are three kinds of stones selected for Sculpting the Murtis in our temples.

Pumshila, Strishila & Napunsaka Shila.

Thread...

@ReclaimTemples @punarutthana @LostTemple7 @TheSaveTemples @wiavastukala @priya_27_
1. Pumshila when hit with a stone sounds like Metal Iron. This stone is used for making the "Moola Viraats" (Main deities) of temple.

That's the reason, all the Moola Viraats make such sound.

Pumshilas are strong, suitable for making Life Size Murtis.
2. StriShila sounds like a Brass vessel.
They are used for making the "Devi" Murtis or the Consorts of Moola Viraats. In General the Devi Murtis are lesser in size in comparison to Moola Viraats. So, a smaller shila with lesser quality will do.

A thread on the status of temples,

As we think #FreeHinduTemples is not just the issue. The Temple Problems are Multi Level & Multi Fold. Mainly the way they are preserved, renovated & cared.

@ReclaimTemples @punarutthana @LostTemple7 @SadhguruJV @ShefVaidya @TheSaveTemples
The step motherly treatment of Hindu Temples can be felt from the photos Shared here.

1. These 1000 yrs old Ashapuri Temples built by Pratiharas & Paramars are yet to be renovated.
2. The mutilated Murtis from this temple complex lie in utterly neglected state in a small compound few Kms away. Look at the condition of Murtis @wiavastukala
