n this video, we delve into the mystery surrounding the destruction of Nalanda University, the world's first residential university that housed 10,000 students and over 2,000 teachers. Established in the 5th century by Gupta ruler Kumaragupta, Nalanda became a prominent educational center. However, 800 years ago, it was burned down, and the identity of the perpetrator remains a subject of debate. Some historians claim Brahmins, envious of the Buddhist influence, burned it, while others believe it was Bakhtiyar Khilji, whose invasion left Nalanda in ruins for months. We explore both narratives and the evidence supporting each claim. Discover the findings from the excavations conducted between 1915 and 1937, revealing the university's grandeur and the catastrophic fire. Learn about Bakhtiyar Khilji’s attack as detailed in historical records like Minhaj-i-Siraj’s 'Tabaqat-i-Nasiri' and the accounts of Tibetan monk Dharmasvamin. We also examine the theory that Brahmins were responsible, based on Tibetan sources such as Taranatha and 'Pag Sam Jon Zang.'
