নালন্দা বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় ধ্বংসের ইতিহাস | Nalanda University new campus

Established around 450 CE by Gupta Emperor Kumaragupta I, Nalanda University was a beacon of learning in ancient India. Nestled in the heart of Bihar, this institution was not just a university but a monumental centre of education, attracting scholars from across the globe. Over time, it garnered the patronage of prominent rulers like Harshavardhana and the Pala kings, which allowed it to flourish for centuries. Archeological excavations in the site during 1920-1921 discovered a thick layer of ashes on the uppermost strata, across many buildings separated by some distance; this suggests that Nalanda was subject to a catastrophic fire.[86] Traditionally, this is held to be arson, blamed upon the troops of Muhammad Bakhtiyar Khalji who had plundered the region c. 1200 CE, and cited to be the leading cause of Nalanda's demise – a passage from Minhaj-i-Siraj's Tabaqat-i Nasiri which actually describes the destruction of Odantapura Vihar (var. Bihar Sharif[87]), a monastery just a few miles from Nalanda, is offered in support.[86] While such a reading is misplaced, it is true that the Nalanda was raided by Khalji PM Modi in his address expressed his pleasure at visiting Nalanda University within just 10 days of beginning his third term as Prime Minister. He emphasised that Nalanda represents more than just a name; it embodies identity, reverence, and enduring values. He underscored the resilience of knowledge, noting that while fire may consume books, it cannot eradicate knowledge itself.
