	Andy Carvin's Waste of Bandwidth: Qutub Minar, Humayun's Tomb, and a taste of Indian bureaucracy
		Our first stop was the Qutub Minar, a 12th-century mosque and mausoleum complex best known for its minar, a gargantuan 240-foot tower, the tallest stone tower in the world.
		The minar was constructed by Qutub-id-din Aibak, the Afghan slave-general who sacked Delhi in 1193 for his master, Muhammad of Ghur, and became its sultan upon Ghur's death in 1206, thus beginning an Islamic reign of north India that was to last until 1858.
		Apparently Ala-ud-din planned to build this monument twice as high as Qutub's, but he died suddenly and interest in the project soon waned, leaving a huge stump of stone that looked a lot like a replica of Devil's Tower in Wyoming.
