Delhi, India: If someone asks you to choose one of Delhi's monuments as its symbol, which one will you select? In my opinion, majority will choose Qutab Minar.

दिल्ली, भारतः अगर कोई आप से कहे कि दिल्ली का प्रतीक चुनने के लिए शहर के स्मारकों में से एक को चुनिये तो आप क्या चुनेंगे? मेरे विचार में बहुमत कुतुब मीनार को मिलेगा.

Delhi, India: Se qualcuno ti chiedi di scegliere uno dei monumenti di Delhi come il suo simbolo, quale sceglieresti? Secondo me la maggioranza sceglierà il Qutab Minar (la torre di Qutab).

  3. In fact the government has already chosen Qutab Minar. Also it is only fair to choose it as the symbol given the troubles past and the glorious persistence it has showed :)

    1. Thanks Shanky. So Government has chosen officially Qutab Minar as symbol of Delhi? Wonder when was that? For Commonwealth Games?

    1. Compared to more dainty looking minarets, Qutab Minar is like their grandfather :)
