Nalanda's library burned for months. Takshashila & Vallabhi were erased by invaders. Then Macaulay finished the job. Three destructions. One civilisation.
Long before Oxford or Harvard, Takshashila and Nalanda were drawing scholars from China, Persia, Korea, and Sri Lanka to study mathematics, medicine, philosophy, and statecraft. Admission was by merit alone. Nine out of ten candidates failed the entrance examination. Education was entirely free. This is the story of how that civilisation was built, what destroyed it, and what was lost.
Today, India's National Education Policy of 2020 explicitly names Nalanda, Takshashila, and Vallabhi as models. The question Sarvajeet poses is urgent: what can India offer the world today that Harvard or MIT cannot? Until that question is answered seriously, India will keep exporting talent instead of attracting it.
📖 For a deeper immersion into the Gupta age that made Nalanda possible, explore Dhruvadevi — Book One of the Gupta Trilogy by Sarvajeet.
