Waiting for Shiva: Unearthing the Truth of Kashi’s Gyan Vapi written by Vikram Sampath ─ Book Review

Vikram Sampath’s latest offering retraces the long history of this bitterly disputed site and the dramatic twists and turns in the chequered past of this hoary shrine. Piecing together numerous documents and accounts—Vedic and Puranic texts, Sanskrit literary sources, Agama shastras, Jataka tales, Persian accounts, travelogues of foreigners, archival records and copious legal documents detailing the contestation from the British era to modern Indian courts—the book recreates, for the first time with facts and cogent arguments, this stormy history right up to the present times. The long suppressed secrets that lay hidden in Gyan Vapi finally finds a voice through this book.
