Gyanvapi Mosque Case

The Gyanvapi Mosque Case involves a legal dispute in India over the site where the Gyanvapi Mosque stands, adjacent to the historic Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi. Some Hindu groups claim the site was originally a Hindu temple and wish to reclaim it, citing historical and archaeological evidence. The Muslim community contends the mosque has been a place of worship for centuries. The case involves questions of historical rights, religious sentiments, and constitutional law, and has led to court rulings on access and preservation, reflecting broader debates about religious history and heritage in India.
