Nalanda was an ancient center of higher learning in Bihar, India from 427 to 1197. At that time it was the only international University in the world. It was one of the world’s first residential Universities and was known to be the first great University in recorded history.

It was developed during the Gupta dynasty. Some of the buildings were constructed by the Mauryan Emperor Ashoka the Great (i.e. Raja Ashoka: 273–232 BCE) which is an indication of an early establishment of Buddhist learning center in Nalanda. The Gupta Empire also patronized

some monasteries. According to historians, Nalanda flourished between the reign of the Gupta king Śakrāditya (also known as Kumāragupta) and 1197 CE, supported by patronage from Buddhist emperors like Harsha as well as later emperors from the Pala Empire.

How many know A 5000-YEAR-OLD HARAPPA MOHENJO DARO CITY WAS DISCOVERED BY AN INDIAN ARCHAEOLOGIST R.D BANERJI!
But the credit given to John Marshall by the Britishers & later RD Bannerji died mysteriously at the age of 45.The date usually given for Banerji's discovery is 1922,so

presumably, that is the year he submitted a report to his boss on what he had found. That boss, the Director of the Archaeological Survey of India, was an Englishman, John Marshall, and he seems to have taken over the excavations at Mohenjo-Daro,while Banerji was shipped out

to the Bengal-Assam region on the other side of India.
He disappears from the Mohenjo-Daro record & ends up as a professor of ancient Indian history at Banaras Hindu University in Uttar Pradesh, where he died in 1930, just 45 years old. There is some feeling among modern

''Dad, why don't we activate your internet banking?''
''Why would I do that?'' He asked...
''Well, then you wont have to spend

an hour here for things like transfer.

I was so excited about initiating him into the world of Net banking.
He asked ''If I do that, I wont have to step out of the house?
