How Nalanda was destroyed?
As per secular 9th std. History textbook = Accidental fire.
White washing Islamic crimes!

There is a book by SL Bhyrappa -'Aavarana: The Veil'.
This is an eye opener.
If we make our kids read this, 50% of the job is done.

Indira gandhi removed him from text book committee because he wanted to write the truth instead of 'Romila Thapars fiction history'

How were we SO DUMB, reading only the Romila Thapars & Irfan Habibs.

Di-storians!

We must patronize true historians now and rediscover ourselves!

But now they have left enough precedence for social media and get logically, clinically, factually roasted for their hypocrisy.

Once exposed, history is recorded permanently.

Distorians like Romila Thapars, Irfan Habibs CANNOT manipulate anymore.

In her D-istory books, she has placed massive emphasis on this idea of Hindus actually having an Aryan identity. Let’s have a look at such arguments in one of her own middle school textbooks, Ancient India:

Reference: Ancient India, (Chapter 3: Life in the Vedic Age, Pg. 48)

Notice how there is a massive emphasis on “Aryans arriving in India”.

NO REFERENCE to it being a theory,

NO REFERENCE of there being massive evidence against it.

Just a bold assertion.

Aside from that, she subtly incorporates the highly flawed ‘nasal index’ concept by saying that Dravidians or “Dasyus” had “flat noses”.

This suggestion is very often brought up by the brigade of communist ‘intellectuals’ to divide on the basis of a FALSE IDENTITY.

She doesn’t stop there;
naturally, Marxism in India not only involves dividing based on caste but also language.
Therefore, she must obviously mention that they spoke different languages.

As though that was not enough, she goes on to say that we apparently worshiped different Gods.

Obviously, NO HISTORICAL EVIDENCE to back any of these claims,
NO QUOTATIONS OF SCRIPTURES of the time,
NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE,

just gutted declarations of there being a DIVIDE.

In fact, the scriptures and DNA tests have PROVED the OPPOSITE of what Di-storian Romila propagates here.

But naturally, Ms Thapar has not made her motives clear enough, so do not worry dear Class 6 student.

For if you answer the following questions that are only on Aryans

(because that is what Ancient India was, wasn’t it?)

one day you can become a Marxist too!

If only she stopped there.

But as you probably guessed, she doesn’t.

She goes on to tell the student about the gods of the time.

Reference: Ancient India, (Chapter 3: Life in the Vedic Age, Pg. 50)

“Indra was favorite god because he was strong & he could strike down demons & the enemies of Aryans”

Seriously?

Firstly,there's no logical basis to announce Indra as favorite God
theres nothing like that in ANY Veda,Upanishad,Purana, Itihasa or any documented piece of evidence.

So it naturally makes you wonder- why would she bring up “favourite god”?

Well, here’s the answer: “he could strike down the demons and enemies of the Aryans”.

I almost laughed out when I read that!

Really?
Is that what India’s “most eminent historian” resorts to? Indra,who is the king of Devas is perceived to somehow be pro-Aryan.
But there is no logical basis to assume that.
Much like her comrades,she wants you to believe that Rakshasas were “dark” & therefore “Dravidian”.

Anyone who is therefore against Rakshasas is “fair” and therefore “Aryan”.
So since Indra was perceived to be fair by the Marxist brigade, hallelujah!
He not only struck down the enemies of Aryans but is suddenly their favorite God.

She does not stop there though.

She goes on to pull every desperate attempt at misrepresenting Indian culture, just as every member of the Communist pseudo-intellectual squad has done.

This time, she pronounces:
“there is literary evidence”
through hymns, stories and poems” to say that

beef eating was a “common practice amongst Aryans”.

In fact, she stands by these statements till date and has brought them up on various occasions:

Of course,every source of firsthand Vedic info. will CONDEMN cow slaughter,just as NONE permit beef eating

Romilas beloved literary evidence seems to work against her this time though because

Rig-veda(10.87.16)
Manu-Samhita(5.48-49)
(Mahabharata,Anu.115.47) & tens of scriptures

you would know how wrong she is.

One sample verse from the Atharva Veda (10.1.29) says:

"The slaughter of an innocent, O Krityā, is an awful deed. Slay not a cow, horse, or any mortal."

Therefore, all her feisty claims launched out in history textbooks of young children are riddled with HOLES and FALLACIES.

She herself had evidently promoted a very specific political ideology and would, therefore, be the LAST person I approached on any educational advice.

Let us agree to something:laughable,yet sorry.
Things are taught to Indian children due to some ‘academicians’ &their political biases.
It is even more saddening when these ‘intellectuals’ responsible for corruption in knowledge,go on to talk about objectivity&worry about edu now

Now let's come to our main question

Who destroyed Nalanda University & why?

Invader Muhammad bin Bakhtiyar Khilji destroyed the Nalanda University in 1202 AD

TERRORIST Muhammad bin Bakhtiyar Khilji set fire to the great library of Nalanda & burned around 9 MILLION manuscripts.

But Why TERRORIST Muhammad bin Bakhtiyar Khilji set fire to the great library of Nalanda & burned around 9 MILLION manuscripts?

At that time Bakhtiyar Khilji had captured some areas ruled by Buddhists in North India and once he became quite ill.

He got enough treatment from his hakims but he could not recover and reached a moribund condition.

Then someone advised him to take the treatment from Acharya Rahul Sribhadra, who was head of Ayurveda department of Nalanda University.

But Khilji was not ready for this.
He had more faith in his hakims.
He was not willing to believe that Indian physicians have more knowledge than his hakims and other masters.

But to save his life he had to call Acharya Rahul Sribhadra,head of Ayurveda department of Nalanda University.

Then Muhammad Bakhtiar Khilji put a strange condition in front of Vaidyaraj that I will not eat any kind of medicine given by him
They had to fix it without medication.

After thinking of this, Vaidyaraj accepted his condition and after a few days, he came to Khilji with a Quran and said that he had to read the page of the Quran.

And after reading these pages you will free from illness.

Bakhtiar Khilji read the Quran as Vaidyaraj said he was cured.
It is said that Rahul Shribhadra applied for medicine on some pages of the Quran.
And as he started reading those pages of the Quran he kept on recovering.

After recovering Muhammad bin Bakhtiyar Khalji was shocked by the fact that an Indian scholar and teacher had more knowledge than his hakims and countryman.

After this, He decided to destroy the roots of Ayurveda.

As a result, TERRORIST Muhammad bin Bakhtiyar Khalji set fire to the great library of Nalanda and burned around 9 million manuscripts.

The great library of Nalanda University was so vast that it is reported to have housed more than 9 MILLION manuscripts.
According to traditional Tibetan sources, the library at Nalanda University was spread over three large multi-storeyed buildings

One of these buildings had nine storeys that housed the most sacred manuscripts. The library burned for three months after the invaders set fire to the buildings. The Muslim invaders ransacked and destroyed the monasteries and drove the monks from the site.

To quote Paul Monroe’s Encyclopaedia of History of Education, Volume 1 by Paul Monroe about the three multi-storey libraries and Sanskrit texts:

We have already seen that I-tsing stayed for his studies at Nalanda for the long period of ten years (A. D. 675-85),
during which he collected there some 400 Sanskrit texts amounting to 500,000 slokas (p.xvii).
This shows that Nalanda possessed a well-equipped library.

Information on the Nalanda University Library is given in the Tibetan accounts, from which we know that the Library, situated in a special area known by the poetical name of Dharmaganj a (Mart of Religion)
+

Comprised three huge buildings,
called Ratnaagara, Ratnodadhi, and Rat-naranjala, of which Ratnasagara, which was a ninestoreyed building, specialized in the collection of rare sacred works like Praniapa-ramtia-sutra and Tantrika books like Samajaguhya and the like.

Description about Nalanda University Libraries in the book ‘Paul Monroe’s Encyclopaedia of History of Education, Volume 1’ by Paul Monroe.

The Persian historian, Minhaj-i-Siraj in his book Tabaqat-i Nasiri, recorded his deeds a few decades later.
Khilji was assigned 2 villages on the border of Bihar which had become a political no-man’s land.
Sensing an opportunity,he began a series of plundering raids into Bihar.

Minhaj-i-Siraj wrote of this attack:

“Muhammad-i-Bakht-yar, by the force of his intrepidity, threw himself into the postern of the gateway of the place, and they captured the fortress, and acquired great booty.
+

The greater number of the inhabitants of that place were Brahmans, and the whole of those Brahmans had their heads shaven;
and they were all slain.

There were a great number of books there; and, when all these books came under the observation of the Musalmans, they summoned a number of Hindus that they might give them information respecting the import of those books;
but the whole of the Hindus had been killed.

On becoming acquainted [with the contents of those books], it was found that the whole of that fortress and city was a college, and in the Hindui tongue, they call a college Bihar.”

Minhaj-i-Siraj also wrote in his book Tabaquat-I-Nasiri about thousands of monks being burned alive
And thousands beheaded as Khilji tried his best to uproot Hinduism, Jainism & Buddhism and plant Islam by the sword.

The burning of the Nalanda library continued for several months and ‘smoke from the burning manuscripts hung for days like a dark pall over the low hills.’

Given the three multi-story libraries that also included a nine storey library evidenced by literary records, 9 million is just a number.
The number of manuscripts the libraries accommodated that catered to 10,000 students and 2000 teachers must be beyond this number.

Artist's depiction of what Nalanda University would have looked like before it's destruction by Islamic invader Muhammad bin Bakhtiyar Khalji.

The damage caused by Islamic invader Muhammad bin Bakhtiyar Khalji can never be repaired. Who knows what books were there and what secrets of our history they had.
