Alauddin Khilji thought of himself as the second Alexander - Sikander e Sani.
He wanted to perpetuate his memory with a tower four times the size of the Qutub Minar....
But as Robert Burns said
“The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft a-gley"
( often go awry)
So all we have is an unfinished minar...

@ranasafvi What so amazes me about Alai Minar is that since it was left incomplete from the times of Alauddin Khilji, no one ever thought of bringing it down.
