Nalanda University: Ancient Heritage & Legacy | Connecting The Dots

More than 1500 years ago till 1200 AD, one name was itself the assurance of excellence in education and enlightenment: Nalanda. World’s first residential university, its wide campus once held 2000 teachers and more than 10,000 students.
Holding one of the richest repositories of Buddhist knowledge and wisdom, and having teaching faculty including names such as Aryabhatta, it attracted many scholars from around the world. While its glorious era came to an end after an attack by Bakhtiyar Khilji, the name of Nalanda as the world’s education hub nonetheless remained as iconic as ever.
India’s PM Narendra Modi wants to reignite the glory of the ancient Nalanda. The new Nalanda campus which has been inaugurated recently, with its fusion of ancient Vastu and modern infrastructure has the ambition to reestablish itself as the beacon of enlightenment for the world. Watch now to learn about the glorious past and the brilliant future of the old and the new Nalanda!

Nalanda was the union of the best of knowledge and educators for a long time in its era. Now that we have taken a step to regain the place as the education hub of India, we need to make sure this goal is achieved.

Nalanda was established by a Bramhan king Kumargupt pratham who was from Gupta dynasty. It was a ancient site of Bramhanical learning. According to buddhist scriptures Nalanda was dominate by Bramhan scholars.

Please provide an authentic source because both Indian and western historians agree that Nalanda was a Buddhist university.

[@pandey7810]

There is also no source about nalanda who says it's Buddhist University. And if you want authentic source that it was established by a Bramhan king then you should study about Gupta dynasty of Magadh. They were Bramhan and worshipper of Lord Vishnu. Buddhist were also allowed to study in this university because Buddhism has been founded in Magadh and Bramhan consider Lordh Budhha as ninth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Today the fake Buddhist who is actually lower cast and hates Bramhan wants to change the history.
