Introduction
- The regime of the Aurangzeb has always been the subject of debate and the name of Aurangzeb is registered in the books of history as the demolisher of the temples .In recent days , numerous communal issues have erupted . The issue of the Gyanvapi is one of those issues . In fact a petition was filed by five Hindu plaintiffs who demanded daily access to a Hindu site, Maa Shringar Gauri, for prayers, claimed by them to be located outside the western wall of the mosque. The Hindu Analysis
- In fact it is believed that the Aurangzeb has demolished the famous kashi Vishwanath temple of the Varanasi and at the place he constructed the Gyanvapi mosque .during latter period Ahilyabai Holker reconstructed the Hindu temple (kashi Vishwa Nath temple) but the original Linga is still installed under that temple . Therefore Hindu devotee are demanding to discover that Linga and to reinstall against in the temple
Historicity of this row : The Hindu Analysis
- If we evaluate the facts described by the historians that definitely Aurangzeb was the big demolisher of the temple and during his period many temples were demolished however he adopted such policy as political compulsion. Many historians have evidence of the donation and land grant to the temples during the time of Aurangzeb. If suppose , it is true that Aurangzeb demolished many temple of India then reconstruction of such historiography which could create the conflict in the society , should be avoided .. beside Aurangzeb , during the time of other Muslim ruler, temples were demolished and even during the time of many Hindu and Muslim rulers the the Buddhist places and the Christian places were demolished. We have been colonized by the British for more than 150 years and during colonialism they exploited Indians in every manner. But we should not take revenge for our exploitation from the British . The Hindu Analysis
- If history would be constructed on the ground of black chapter of the past , then ,in this world once again the conflicts among the communities would start . We should not be trapped in the process of revenge . In world politics there are numerous examples in which one specific race mascaraed another race . but It does not mean that the victim races should take revenge

Conclusion
The Gyanvapi mosque issue may be true as per the history but reconstruction and revival of those elements of the history which could create the conflict in the society should not be reconstructed as per the ethics of the History . The objective of the subject history is to find out the evil practices and other mistakes which we had done in the past so that we could reform ourselves . and on the other side we should find out those incidents of our past which could inspire us to do better. This is against the ethics of the history that we reconstruct unnecessarily those incidents of the past which creates a conflict in the society. We Should avoid such type of historiography.
