Publisher's Synopsis
Nalanda: A Forgotten Holocaust is a powerful exploration of the world's greatest ancient university, Nalanda-once a beacon of profound wisdom and spiritual harmony. Through meticulous research and evocative storytelling, the authors bring to life Nalanda's golden era as a global seat of learning and the chilling waves of destruction that sought to obliterate it.
But this is not just a story of Nalanda-it is a lens through which to provoke deep reflection on Bharath's civilizational identity, and the forces that have historically targeted and dismantled it. Drawing on travelers' accounts, historical chronicles, and modern scholarship, the book reveals how Nalanda's fall was no accident-it was a calculated attempt to break the spirit of an entire civilization.
Nalanda: A Forgotten Holocaust challenges us to remember this tragedy, to reclaim the threads of ancient wisdom, and to reignite the civilizational spirit that once illuminated the world.
