Gyanvapi Mosque Controversy

The Gyanvapi Mosque controversy centers around a site in Varanasi, India, where a mosque was built in the 17th century after the destruction of a Hindu temple. Many Hindus claim that the mosque was constructed over the ruins of the temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. The dispute involves legal battles over the site's ownership and religious significance, reflecting broader tensions between Hindu and Muslim communities. In recent years, court cases have reignited the debate, impacting local sentiments and highlighting historical grievances associated with religious sites in India.
