SC said in 2019 Ayodhya verdict that status of no other place of worship will be allowed to change. Yet, civil judge has ordered ASI to find if mosque is built over temple.
Top Muslim leaders said they would challenge the Varanasi court order while AIMIM questions legality of order. Opposition parties such as SP, BSP and TMC have refused to comment.
The prime minister had said the interaction would give first-hand opportunity to hear the experiences as well as get feedback from frontline warriors who are getting vaccinated.
Caught between a bitter fight and a court battle, Varanasi’s Nagari Pracharini Sabha, once the most prestigious body for promotion of Hindi, needs urgent intervention.
Subramanian Swamy says panel led by him formed to ‘liberate’ Kashi Vishwanath site. Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, however, bars forcible changes to any place of worship.
Interacting with Varanasi-based NGOs, PM Modi said Kashi can emerge as an export hub and develop as a key centre of 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' campaign in the coming days.
The story had quoted Mala Devi saying she faced food shortage due to absence of a ration card. She lives in Domari village in Varanasi, PM Modi's constituency.
MoSPI proposes to remove closed factories from IIP sample, aiming for truer picture of India’s industrial health in upcoming 2022–23 base series. Plan open to public feedback until 25 November.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
Kashi Vishvanath Temple dispute will erase fake Islmic history imposed by few timid historians. Now a days Like Irfan habibi and Romila Thapar. They r paid historians.
Worldwide, people are made to atone for the violence and grave injustices perpetrated by their ancestors. But in India, the oppressed are made to suffer the injustices heaped on them and their ancestors even in the 21st century. Qutb Minar, Gyanvapi mosque, destroyed Hampi ruins etc are living embodiments of the humiliation that we, the descendants of the humiliated ancestors, should still witness. The humiliated Hindus in India, should always forgive the oppressors and say let bygones be bygones while the descendants of the oppressors make merry.
The author of this article puts up a photo depicting the view of the remnants of the Kashi Vishwanath temple attached to the mosque and still writes about the “alleged” demolition of the temple despite evidences over the centuries screaming to the contrary. And one more evidence undertaking mission is being attacked. Clearly, the author and the Chief Editor have not an iota of principle left in them. Ultimately truth triumphs! Satyameva jayate!
Return all 1200 mosques looted from Hindu temples and lands. Just rip the bandage off in one go, rather than continuing the torture for each one. Better for Hindus/Buddhists/Sikhs/Jains and Muslims/Christians.
The Hon’ble Supreme Court in M Siddiq (D) Thr Lrs vs. Mahant Suresh Das & Ors, 2019 SCC OnLine 1440, held that:
“652. This Court cannot entertain claims that stem from the actions of the Mughal rulers against Hindu places of worship in a court of law today. For any person who seeks solace or recourse against the actions of any number of ancient rulers, the law is not the answer. Our history is replete with actions that
have been judged to be morally incorrect and even today are liable to trigger vociferous ideological debate. However, the adoption of the Constitution marks a watershed moment where we, the people of India, departed from the determination of rights and liabilities on the basis of our ideology, our religion, the
colour of our skin, or the century when our ancestors arrived at these lands, and submitted to the rule of law. Under our rule of law, this court can adjudicate upon private property claims that were expressly or impliedly recognised by the British sovereign and subsequently not interfered with upon Indian independence. With respect to the disputed property, it is evident that the British Sovereign recognised and permitted the existence of both Hindu and Muslim communities at the disputed property upon the annexation of Oudh in 1856. This culminated with
the construction of the railing in order to maintain law and order between the two communities. The acts of the parties subsequent to the annexation of Oudh in 1856 form the continued basis of the legal rights of the parties in the present suits and it is these acts that this Court must evaluate to decide the present dispute.”
Although a good article but it is somewhat lacking research on the part of the writer here. The writer should have researched himself than citing controversial historians like Audrey who lacks reliability and has been seen to ignore primary sources.
There are many documents that cite the Gyanvapi temple from the Maratha era. Baji Rao and his general Malhar Rao prepared to achieve this Maratha dream of restoring the temple of Vishveshvara which lies beneath the Gyanvapi (“mosque”). He camped in Benares (Kashi) and intended to bring down the structure but locals, fearing retaliation, requested him to desist. (Source of the quote is a letter written by Chimaji Appa to Mahadev Bhat on June 2, 1740. English translation by professor Puntambekar Baji Rao)
Not only that, it is clearly written in Alamgirinama that the mosque has built upon the previous Gyanvapi temple by destroying it with the order of Aurangzeb himself. Yet, the author used the word like “Allegation”.
Ahilyabai Holkar did make the new temple (along with a number of temples she rebuilt in entire India) but you should also have mentioned that the Nandi at Gyanvapi still faces the structure of the mosque which previously had a Shivlinga. Nandi always faces a Shivlinga.
WAQF has 6 lakh acres of land. All these properties were acquired in the Mughal conquest age. Now every taxpayer has to fund its development. Rest, thank you. It was a good read.

To introduce Prof. Audrey Truschke as a “noted” historian is a bit rich. She has climbed the ladder mostly due to her ability to spew bile on anything and everything Hindu. Be it our religion, our philosophy, our culture or our society – she has left no stone unturned to denigrate and humiliate.
In her eyes, an upper caste Hindu is the embodiment of Satan.
While as an academic she has every right to put forth her views, but even a cursory glance at her social media profile will make you realize she is no well wisher of ours. Her precocious talent at making vicious attacks on almost everything that a Hindu holds dear, has made her a leading member of the liberal secular cabal.

Audrey is an authority on history, leftist historian?
