See here. The original Vishwanath temple (Jyotirlinga) was at a place now called Adi Viswanath (circled in red). This was demolished by Kutubuddin Aibak (or Ghori, not sure) between 1192-98. Then it was moved to where Gyanwapi mosque is now(in green).

Then Ahilyabai Holkar built the temple in 1776 which we see today (in yellow).

I think so. And that Jyotirlinga is now in the Gyanwaapi Koop(well).

As far as the location of the Shivlinga for the temple destroyed by Aurangzeb is concerned, see this skectch. Blue mark is the location of the Nandi (still there) of the temple destroyed. So Shivlinga must be on the line towards the mouth of Nandi.

K2As deliberately built (as a mark of disrespect and to humiliate Hindus) the stairs (red loop) to climb up into the mosque complex at the exact location of the Shivlinga of the temple destroyed in 1669.

This book "Kashi Gaurav" by Swami Shivananda Sarasvati (Shishya of Swami Karpatri Ji). But I know this thing first hand as I grew up in Kashi. :)

See this mention of "Avimukteshwar Shivlinga" (I guess right beside the Garbhagriha) by the Pujari of Kashi Vishwanath temple.
@SamarpakBharat
Look at the amount paid (1 Crore+) by UP Govt to acquire the property (the place of famous Avimukteshvara Linga) at the address CK-35/33 Dhundhiraj Gali.
Question ye hai ki Veda,Upanishad, Puran mein mentioned temple Pvt property kaise ho gaya? 😊

श्रीमद्भागवत too must be a Tamsic Purana. 😊
Exactly!! You see the continuity of श्रीमद्भागवत in Ramcharitmanas when Tulsidas writes "सेवक स्वामि सखा सिय पी के।" (जो(शिव) सीतापति श्री रामचन्द्रजी के सेवक, स्वामी और सखा हैं) for Mahadeva. You find this missing in post 1000AD Vaishnava Sampradayas.

While doing Manglacharan at the beginning of each Kanda of his Ramayana, Goswami Tulsidas do Vandana to both Mahadeva and Sri Rama.

Our sages order slaying of a gangster instead of playing Ahimsa pipe like Congressi Mahatmas.

"करि बिनती सुर सकल सिधाए। तेही समय देवरिषि आए॥
गगनोपरि हरि गुन गन गाए। रुचिर बीररस प्रभु मन भाए॥
बेगि हतहु खल कहि मुनि गए। राम समर महि सोभत भए॥"

भावार्थ:-विनती करके सब देवता चले गए। उसी समय देवर्षि नारद आए।आकाश के ऊपर से उन्होंने श्री हरि के सुंदर वीर रसयुक्त गुण समूह का गान किया, जो प्रभु के मन को बहुत ही भाया। मुनि यह कहकर चले गए कि अब दुष्ट रावण को शीघ्र मारिए। (उस समय) श्री रामचंद्रजी रणभूमि में आकर सुशोभित हुए।

क्या गाँधी के राम ऐसे हो सकते हैं जिनके शरीर पर वध किये गये आततायियों के खून के छींटे हों?😊

संग्राम भूमि बिराज रघुपति अतुल बल कोसल धनी।
श्रम बिंदु मुख राजीव लोचन अरुन तन सोनित कनी॥
भुज जुगल फेरत सर सरासन भालु कपि चहु दिसि बने।
कह दास तुलसी कहि न सक छबि सेष जेहि आनन घने॥

Lol!! So a KP Yavan who was an Aapiya and now masquerades as RW Hindu intellectual blocks me again in his nth Avatar on twitter.😊😊
I don't get fooled by the garb. I look for the substance. That's my history lesson after the Gandhi episode happened to Hindus and Bharat Mata.
Sekoolar-Savarna (in the garb of Trad/Khattar Hindu) and me are like oil and water. Mixing never happens.😊

It's not that he blocked me the first time. The first time he blocked me for talking about his tweet supporting AAP. And he would block me without even an interaction whenever he took a new avatar. So cut your crap and stop playing the victim.

A sample. Notice how Padre discourse on 4 Varnas is a mainstream Hindu discourse now.

"The Bramine Padmanaba (from whose mouth I learned all the myths of Paganism, which are discovered in this book) said, or affirmed, that there were four lineages, nation:

Nonsense!! Agar Aarakshan nahin lagta to IT revolution huyi hee nahin hoti. 😊
Clerk mindset se bahar niklo. Aur history ko samjho aur feel karo. Khali ratta maar ke high marks pa karke clerk banane tak mat rah jao.
Yahi to problem ha is desh ki. Jo Goron ki clerky karte the wo "Bina Khadag Bina Dhaal" is desh ke raja ban gaye.
Aur tab se "Yatha Raja Tath Praja" ke nyaya se Pure Hindu society ko clerk banane ka project last 70 years se chal raha ahi.

I didn't write this tweet in anger or in hurry. The tweet is born out of lots of reading (of history books), analysis, contemplation, realization, and learning over the years.

It's not a mere coincidence that anti-Brahmin movements of the late 19th century and 20th century never happened in the history of Hindus and India before the arrival of White Christian colonialism.
2/
If Brahmins were really that evil as portrayed by Padres and their colonial narrative then it should have happened many times before too. But there is no proof of any such anti-Brahmin sentiments among middle and lower castes other than Manastarang of Padre taught as fact.
