1/n #SadarPranam @iftikhargilani ji. Your understanding about destruction of Nālandā is absolutely unclear. @ASIGoI sources say:it was the Muslim Invasion which destroyed it.
Refer this thread where I cite references from Accession No 57346 of Central Archaeological Library.
2/n Nālandā wasn’t just just place of Buddhist teachers but was also Center for various other Dharmas which included Hindus too.
The accessed work of @ASIGoI also states that the Center was destroyed by new Faith: obviously Islam.
3/n The writer makes imp assertion that it’s a point worth noting that restoration happened post Mihirkula Invasion but not post Muslim Invasion.
Unlike Hunas, Muslim Invasion Left none, & destruction was not feasible to be undone.
4/n As per the chronicler: Khilji killed al the Brahmins(shaved head) & burnt all the books.
5/n As per Archaeological finds it has been found that the place was burnt in 1205 by Muslims.
Per the sayings: All the monks were butchered & even if any remained alive didn’t dare to enter the premise. It was all over @iftikhargilani ji.
