@Sukhmandir Kaur True. This photo was taken from the top of Charminar.
Muhammed Quli Qutub Shah commissioned bricks to be made from earth brought from Mecca and inducted them into the construction of the central arch of the Masjid, which explains its name, Mecca Masjid

@Sukhmandir Kaur: They should. Indians have been building them since a few thousand years now.
