Nalanda University in Bihar (India/Bharat) was established in 427 AD under the reign of Emperor Kumaragupta I. One of the oldest universities where scholars from across the globe came to study. Propag!nda universities like Oxford and Cambridge were not even in the picture.
Legends say that it had 10,000+ scholars and more than 2000 teachers, and even the gatekeepers of the library were considered more intelligent than the students who came for admission.
All Asians, including many European countries, came here to gain knowledge and wisdom.
Once burned by Muslim ruler Bakhtiyar Khilji, it is now reclaimed and inaugurated by the sitting chief minister of Bihar and Prime Minister of Bharat (India).
Hiuen Tsang, or Xuanzang, is said to have visited Nalanda in the 7th century.
