We know what #Varanasi looks like today; what it looked like in 2014. I first visited the oldest living city to do a feature for The Statesman 35 years ago.
Since then, I have visited Varanasi several times. During one visit, I acquired a set of old prints. Sharing them.

Do you know why every mauzie on this earth is taught to hate #Jews ?

The richest #Jewish tribe Banu Qaynuqa, who were craftsmen, goldsmiths, money lenders & traders lived in two fortresses in the south-western part of Yathrib, now called Medina.
1/n
These #Jews were in close contact with Meccan merchants, supported pre izlamic Arab tribe Khazraj & others in Yathrib in their conflicts with their Arab rivals & hence resented Mohmmad’s attack on the Quraishs of Mecca in December 623, on 17th day of Ramadan (battle of badr)
2/n
To get rid of opposing #Jews , Prophet in 624, raided & besieged fortesses of Banu Qaynuqa for 15 days & expelled them from Yathrib…confiscated & divided their property, arms & tools etc among his followers & took for himself, 1/5 share of the spoils.. “

Aurangzeb demolished the #KashiVishwanath Temple in 1669 and built the Gyan Vapi Masjid. That is, the place where the mosque is now located was earlier a real Jyotirlinga dedicated to Lord Shiva. But later Aurangzeb demolished the temple. And built a mosque.
The court has asked the Archaeological Survey of India to form a five-member team to dig up the Gyan Vapi complex which will lead the survey work. Importantly, the five-man team will also have two members from the Muslim community.
