Jinnah Tower in Guntur

Jinnah Tower is a monument in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh dedicated to the founding father of Pakistan Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The landmark was intentionally located on Mahatma Gandhi Road, the main artery of the city as a symbol of peace and harmony.

Structure[edit]

The tower was erected on six pillars which open to a dome, typical of the then Muslim architecture in early twentieth century. The tower is currently in a state of neglect and crumbling. According to the State Archaeology Department, the tower could be brought under the list of protected monuments if it has history of more than 60 years.^[1]

Origins[edit]

About its origins, one story is that a representative of Jinnah, Judaliyaquat Ali Khan, visited Guntur in the pre-Independence era. Khan was felicitated by Lal Jan Basha, the grandfather of the present Telugu Desam Party Rajya Sabha member, S.M. Lal Jan Basha, and he got a tower built in the honour of the dapper Muslim League leader.

According to another narrative, two Municipal Chairman, Nadimpalli Narasimha Rao and Tellakula Jalaiah, were responsible during their respective terms of office for the construction of the tower — as a symbol of peace and harmony.

Most of that blame goes to British in my opinion... they used both Hindu and Muslim leaders to their advantage
