Why Bakhtiyar Khilji burnt the Nalanda University | Reaction 

Nalanda University, Taxila University, Vikramshila University, Vallabhi University, Jagaddala University, Nagarjuna Vidyapeeth, Kanthalloor University, Sharada Peeth, and Odantapuri University. These are just a few of the greatest universities India had in the past.

The Islamic conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. - Historian Will Durant

ISLAM AND KNOWLEDGE IS ANTONYM TO EACH OTHER

Hey Zuzana, Buddhism was already struggling ideologically in India with the rise of Hindu Vedanta scholars like Adi Shankaracharya. But the Turkic invasions completely eradicated Buddhism from mainland India, from Buddha's own land. Even Hindu temples, gurukuls(study centers) were vandalized and desecrated. But Hindus resisted, instead of converting in masse unlike Buddhists. Hindus kept on building temples and carried on the traditions in covert. The Bhakti movement (Bhakti translates to ultimate devotion) kept Hinduism alive over centuries of Islamic rule. Present day Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh were Buddhist majority regions before islamisation.

Many monks were successful escaping the Bodhgaya and they took some left texts with them to Tibet those left texts still consist enormous amount of Vedic Gyan. That’s why Dalai Lama said Buddhism is an extension of Sanatan Dharma or Aryavrat.

So Smartly he made the whole nalanda knowledge about Buddhism I mean seriously all the subjects about science, medical, astrology, history, mathematics & many more all came from Vedas, upnishad, darshan, shamhita, puraans, Smritis etc.. More than 90% of all came from Santan Dharm (Hinduism) and suddenly the whole nalanda knowledge became all about Buddhism History. Wow 👏

This university not only contained Buddhist scriptures it also contained books related to Hinduism, Jainism, ajivikas and all other Indic belief systems. You see in the ancient time in India there was no clear distinction between different Indic belief systems, it was all overlapping because they were all considered part of Dharma.

I give you a simple example to understand the nalanda University and India's loss after that incident. Assume all Google data, hard drives, internet based information etc are deleted by somehow then can you guess the loss for this world. The same amount of knowledge was stored in nalanda University. Researchers from Japan, China, Europe etc were studied at that University. It was a huge loss.

And as a icing on the cake the nearest railway station is named "Bhakthiyarpur", named after the Bhaktiyar Khilji the destroyer, looter and bucther of Nalanda along with thousands of its teachers and students. What a shame

Thank you sister for the video.. Yes this sis how our Nalanda was burnt and destroyed my Turks, the cruel Muslims ..😢😢😢😢😢

It was not only attack on budhism or India, it's attack on India's wealth of knowledge

Worst part is that there is still a place in the State of Bihar in India named after him, called Bhaktiyarpur, as if we are celebrating him till date.

Fun Fact: Nalanda university was established by King Kumaragupta I, who was a Hindu.

Thank you Zuzana for the Reaction! I recommended this Video. Of course it is not a pleasant Topic but important to know in my opinion! By the Way, the Dalai Lama and tibetan Buddhism are strongly related to Nalanda, all their main Philosophers came from there. Thr Dalai Lama calls himself and his Students "Sons of Nalanda".

Oldest University in India - Nalanda 🥳💥😍

Some of the local stories also say when khilji was about to burn the library a monk told him not to do that .monk told him its a treasure of great knowledge and in reply khilji said "i have quran and no other book has superior knowledge than it"

When most of the west was living in stone age , at around 3,500 years ago BHARAT used to have great universities like Tilhara Nalanda Shardapeeth Vikramshila Udantapoori Takshshila (oldest known University to humankind , established around 4000 years ago).

Worst ! the area is still called bakhtyarpur ,after bakhtyar khilji when calls grew to change the name the islamists came out with victim card .

One book burnt 9 million books 😢😢😢😢😢

Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism , Hinduism are all branches of Sanatan Dharma. More or less all are same.

Marathas warriors destroyed the Islamic rule of India...

Nalanda University was our pride. Education is what no-one can destroy and snatch

This video should be seen by all the people in Europe. We keep wiping the mirror to remove the dust with out cleaning the dust in our face. This is an important Hindi Saying.

Yeah just after Ashoka converted to Buddhism... Here many converted to Buddhism after following the great ASHOKA , it's not buddisht University yeah it was existed many thousand years before buddism founded by Gautama Buddha ..he was a Hindu too n Buddhism Is just a part of Hinduism itself ...I think this video has lack of history contents... Anyhow good video ... Good selection ty for reminding us again what v have lost precious .... ❣️

Actually Buddhism is a sect of Sanatan Dharma ( hindu Dharma)... We called them "Buddh" because Buddh mening " seekar of knowledge" ... Goutam Buddha a.k.a Tathagat = Goutam the seekar of knowledge .

It was not only Buddhists texts but also vedas Upanishads were also taught in these great mahavihars. But we couldn't protect our great knowledge. 😔

Nalanda University was not just about Buddhism and Buddhist values. It was based on Vedas and upanishads. The library actually contained lots of Hindu sacred books written by scholars over 1000 of years on mathematics, astrology, logic, language, religion, etc. it was the biggest atrocity not only on india but on humanity. The lost knowledge and hard work which would never be recovered.

Student who studied in Nalanda University translated many books n their languages and wrote about Nalanda in their country

Such a wholesome explanation of the topic

Nalanda university was not a buddhist monastery buddhist monks would come here from tibet , it contained all books from maths to astronomy to jain scriptures, hindu, buddhist including manuscripts were stored here

In India philosophies were never imposed by force. It has been spread by debate and discussions until the invaders, looters and colonisers came to India.

Today that state Magadh is known as Bihar. Madadh was the richest and powerful state for most of the time is now the poorest and highly populated. You will also be shocked to know the leaders of that state are so much mentally colonised that the Railway station is named after the tyrant and they dont bother to rename it till date due to the love for the peacefull community.

Following all of these incidents, a new movement in self-defence art emerged that we now refer to as martial arts by Bodhidharma

I am from Nalanda. New Nalanda university is started few years ago in my city called Rajgir. 15 km away from the original site. It's new campus is massive and amazing you should watch a video on new campus.

Jizya Tax, as mentioned in the Quran is to be imposed on Non-Believers (Non-Muslims) and for major part of Islamic History in India, it was prevalent across. Many found it difficult to pay this tax and preferred to convert instead. Im glad my ancestors resisted it, ate one meal less but didn't convert.

Can anyone name any 1 hindu, buddhist or christian tirrorist organization? What has happened to hagia sophia, same has happened to innumerable temple's in india.

I find many Hindus lamenting the burning of Nalanda in the comment section. But the fact is Nalanda was the hub of Vajrayana Buddhism who were ideological rivals of Puranic Hinduism. One can visit the museum near Nalanda to observe statues portyaing Hindu puranic deities in low light, and establishing the superiority of Vajrayana Buddhist deities over traditional Hindu deities like Shiva, Ganesha, etc. Infact, some are really offensive to traditional Hindu eyes. They don't allow photography in the museum. And by the way, the Vama-marga(Kaula Parampara; Tantra) among Hindu Shaktas and Vajrayana Buddhism deeply related. The reason why, Tantra is popular in eastern India.

Nalanda was one of the universities from India. Takshsila and Vikramsila were older than Nalanda.

Dammm i cant even imagined that you will one day choose to see this .... For kind information... i am homeperson of NALANDA... now a settled city where i borned .... The great ancient Nalanda University's streets and roads is like a backcorridor to me where since my childhood i roam hanged out chilling and making picnic plans with my friends .... ✌️✌️ ❤❤❤ love from 🇮🇳🇮🇳 You dont even know but rajgir gaya and nalanda are the three heritages that witness our motherland's pride In RAJGIR , there is a place still preserved that dated back to time of the great epic MAHABHARATA... There is a interesting short real incidental story behind the fact ..why the NALANDA university came to attention for the very first time to invaders who are such an illiterate,nothing to do with knowledge and science.... Any guide here began the tour with that story telling the tourists visits here .... On this note i heartly request you for this invitation that you will sure one day visit here .... ❤️❤️🙏🙏

Love ❤❤MY INDIA❤❤

Today I'm watching your video once again Nalanda University built for knowledge and unity ❤️🇮🇳

Nalanda one of the famous and greatest university in India and among them there are many views university in India which is famous and as well as oldest in India like Ujjaini Takshashila

Nalanda is one of the most precious places that the Islamic invasion destroyed. Sister, I am happy that you are trying to explore the most precious part of history, which is often hidden and known to very few, but now it is becoming more widely spread. I hope you are researching and analyzing the root facts from these types of videos because we are currently witnessing a trend, especially in India, where there is an attempt to suppress and manipulate historical knowledge in order to maintain divisions or manipulate other real knowledge. We believe that Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, and Jainism all share the same root, but today they are often seen as different religions . happy if you could make a video on it --> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8PxMqQh_vf4.html (Why Buddhism & Hinduism Are NOT Different Religions)

There is a small correction, it's not only a Buddhist centre of education but like all universities, hindu Rishi education centre.There is another famous centre at Tashasila in present day Pakistan. Islamic religion and book abhors freedom of education because it will question the book and following will not be blind.

Make a video on the great scholar and statesman chanakya who defeated Alexander in India and started the Maurya Empire with Chandragupta Maurya

Just to be clear it was not just Buddhist but Hindus and Jains as well all 3 philosophies were taught there together as all were not consider religion but way of life under Sanatana Dharma , initially started as Hindu Vedic learning centre evolved in Buddhist and Jains learning centre as well.

Students coming from the world like Greese alsa. Thats why Greek god Hercules story exect like Indias Krishna god

Very informative video explaining about Indian history, good job 👍

Those two books did more damage to entire world and humanity than any other thing in history .

Knowledge without power is matter of moment.......to be lost......it can't be for long duration ...

Hey Zuzana! Wishing you a great October ahead!

Hey Zuzana, just to inform you, Nalanda is not the oldest, but it was one of the largest. Takshashila university (in present day Pakistan) is the oldest, established in pre-Buddhist era, i.e 1000-900 BCE. It was a Hindu Vedic university, but inclined towards Buddhism with the ascend of king Ashoka(300BC). He was a devout Buddhist. Infact, Buddhism grew in prominence only after Ashoka sponsored it draining the royal treasury. Even his army was involved in facilitating & serving Buddhist monks. As expected, the state went bankrupt, and the Maurya empire declined with Ashoka.

I am proud be raised and born in this land of knowledge ,a proud bihari and indian❤❤👍

The story of every peaceful civilization in a nutshell, you will either be conquered killed converted or made a slave, Indians had to learn it the hard way over a period of 1000 years of slavery.

Hinduism and Mahayana Buddhism were not different those times and Aryabhatt, Nagarjun, etc Gurus of this university had same beliefs as Hindus. Mahayana Buddhism is also called Hinduized Buddhism and the same as Hinduism which was later made and this Mahayana Buddhism/Hinduism prevailed in these universities.. that time Hinduism didn't have a different "Hindu" name

Writing about Nalanda survived in writings by Monks in China.

@zuzanareacts At 13:02 you mention of a link, don't see in description, what is it for?

But firstly you have to know that Buddhism is a part of Sanatana Dharma.....Sanatana Dharma means the duty of whole world, and that's why we found same cultures in different parts of the world but for differences in language we termed them with different names.....along with Buddhism there are more parts of the Sanatana Dharma who are not the believer of Gods, in a logical manner.....and these cannot be termed as religion (for your concern)....in the ancient time like nowadays we used to have debates in a logical and scientific manner......so, in those debates one side of it were those who don't belive in idol worshiping and one side who believes. And we share the same effort of love among us, no enmity.❤

Forgiveness is a virtue of winners not warriors 🙏

People can understand and feel what they done then..as Hamas terrorist currently doing in Israel.

Vihar means College Mahavihar means University

Nice subject you brought in notice. Thank you 🙏 Take care so much love and blessings 🙏

Why Khilji Burned only Buddhist university not any hindu University? Is there any hindu or sanatan University at that time?

Please watch the documentary.. Borrowed Dreams: The Canadian Experience

Akbar:- A Mughal muslim King killed 40000 Hindus in a single day during attack on chottoregarh, Rajasthan. Which is one of the biggest genocide of world history.

Remember that muslims learned everything from here.

We respect all religions like Judaism and Persians who came to this land much before Christianiy came to India.Even more than 1000 Polish people were given shelter by Maharaja of Vafodara at his palace during 2nd world war when British refused to given shelter. All the religions were given shelter by mother India. Now all the Brish/USA preach humanity to India and their intentions to fund machineries for Prosetylze the native poor people.Hence because of their atrocities and other work they don't carry good impression. What goes up should come down and viseversa

Don't lose hope! The Dalai Lama always wished to revive this great University for many decades. His efforts brought result with the help of Indiana Government and started modern day Nalanda in 2017. Tibetan have kept large portion of Nalanda wisdom in Tibet since 7th century. Now Tibetan are very happy to give it back to India in the library of New Nalanda. Everything born, live and die then again born ,live and die , circle goes on on.. it's called impermanence. So let's help others if we can but at least don't harm them if you can't help.

Hope someday u found The great ASHOKA history... And remind us like this .....select bit long more informative videos.... Zuzana ... Just a suggestion n request yeah....

Enemy of the entire humanity, that is what that Ideology is

In bihar there is a new nalanda university name after this university and many of my friends had done arts and architecture from that UNI

In the fall of 1202 CE, the first troops of the Ghurid dynasty general Muhammad Bakhtiyar Khalji destroyed and began the demise of Nalanda and other monasteries near it, such as the Odantapura Vihar (now called Bihar Sharif) about 6 miles away from Nalanda. This destruction is corroborated by three sources, which are congruent but contain uncertainties that raise some questions as well a minor dispute about the exact date. The first evidence is from a Muslim historian. The second are the records found in Tibet of Buddhist monks from the 13th century onwards. The third evidence is archaeological, where layers of charcoal deposits were discovered covering ruins, remains of the Nalanda libraries, and other damaged artworks. Buddhist studies scholars and historians such as Peter Harvey, Charles Prebish, Damien Keown, Donald Mitchell, Steven Darian, Stephen Berkwitz and others attribute Nalanda's destruction to Bakhtiyar Khalji. The first evidence is from the Persian historian, Minhaj-i-Siraj who in his Tabaqat-i Nasiri writes of a loot and massacre near Bihar Sharif: 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 Hindustani tongue, they call a college [مدرسه] Vihar. This record of Minhaj-i-Siraj is not an eyewitness account, but it is an account of Samsamuddin who was with Muhammad-i Bakhtiyar Khalji, and Minhaj-i-Siraj merely summarizes it. The above abridged quote refers to an attack on a Buddhist monastery (the "Bihar" or Vihara) and its monks (the shaved Brahmans). Minhaj-i-Siraj record dates it to 1193 CE, prefaces the above quoted sentences with "Khalji had already been busy a year or two in this region" before this attack, and mentions the sack of a college-monastery in the context of an Islamic conquest of Bihar Sharif region, but he does not explicitly state it was Nalanda. It could have been one of several monasteries near Nalanda. However, considering that these two Mahaviharas were only a few kilometres apart and little qualms about the massacre of clean shaven residents there, it is very likely that Minhaj-i-Siraj summary is not an extensive record and both befell a similar fate. The other great Mahaviharas of the age such as Vikramshila and later, Jagaddala, also met their ends at the hands of the Turks at around the same time. The Tibetan records are the second source of the events at Nalanda in the late 12th century and much of the 13th century. These were the decades of widespread systematic destruction of monasteries in this region, and historical records in Tibet affirm that monks from Nalanda and nearby monasteries such as the Vikramashila monastery who "survived the slaughter, fled to Tibet", according to Scharfe. Among the Tibetan records, the most useful is the biography of the Tibetan monk-pilgrim, Dharmasvamin discovered in 1936 and in bsdus-yig style, Tibetan script. It is useful because Dharmasvamin met the fleeing monks and famous scholars during his studies from about mid 1200s to 1226, he had learnt Indian languages and Sanskrit, he walked to and stayed in Nepal starting in 1226 and visited Bihar about 1234, including spending one monsoon season in Nalanda. He described the condition in the decades after the sack of Nalanda and other Buddhist monasteries in Magadha-region of India. His account states that the destruction of Nalanda was not an accident or misunderstanding but a part of the widespread destruction of Buddhist monasteries and monuments including a destruction of Bodhgaya. The vast manuscript libraries of Magadha had been mostly lost. Other Tibetan monks and he had shifted to Nepal, as the place to study, copy and move manuscripts to Tibet. According to his account, the Turushka-Qarluq (Turk) conquest extended from about 1193 to 1205, the destruction was systematic with "Turushka soldiers razing a monastery to the ground and throwing the stones into Ganges river", states Roerich. The fear of persecution was strong in the 1230s, and his colleagues dissuaded him from going to Magadha. According to George Roerich, "his [Chag lo-tsa-ba Chos-rje-dpal, Dharmasvamin] account conveys something of the anxiety of [the Buddhist community of] those days." Chapter 10 of Dharmasvamin's biography describes Nalanda in c. 1235 CE. Dharmasvamin found it "largely damaged and deserted". Despite the perils, some had re-gathered and resumed the scholastic activities in Nalanda, but at a vastly smaller scale and with donations from a wealthy Brahmin layperson named Jayadeva. His account states: There resided a venerable and learned monk who was more than ninety years old, the Guru and Mahapandita Rahula sribhadra. Raja Buddhasena of Magadha honored this Guru and four other Panditas, and about seventy venerable ones (monks). - Dharmasvamin (Translator: George Roerich) While he stayed there for six months under the tutelage of Rahula Shribhadra, Dharmasvamin makes no mention of the legendary library of Nalanda which possibly did not survive the initial wave of Turkic attacks. He also states that some structures had survived, with "eighty small viharas, built of bricks and many left undamaged" but "there was absolutely no one to look after them". He recites the arrest of their patron and lay-supporter Jayadeva by Muslim soldiers who threaten to kill him for honoring (supporting) the monks of Nalanda. Jayadeva sends them a message that the Turushka soldiers are sure to kill "Guru [Rahula sribhadra] and his disciples" and they should "flee!". Dharmasvamin also provides an eyewitness account of an attack on the derelict Mahavihara by the Muslim soldiers stationed at nearby Odantapura (now Bihar Sharif) which had been turned into a military headquarters. Only the Tibetan and his nonagenarian instructor stayed behind and hid themselves while the rest of the monks fled. Another Tibetan source is that of Lama Taranatha, but this is from the late 16th century, and it is unclear what its sources were. The Taranatha account about Buddhism in India repeats the legendary accounts of Nalanda from the Buddha and Ashoka periods found in Xuanzang and other sources, then shifts to centuries of the 2nd-millennium. It describes Islamic raids in 12th-century India, states that whole of Magadha fell to the Turushka (Turks, a common term for Muslims in historic Indic and Tibetan texts). Their armies, asserts Taranatha, destroyed Odantapuri as well as Vikramashila. Given the hundreds of years of gap between the events and Taranatha's account, and no clear chain of sources within the Tibetan tradition of record keeping, its reliability is questionable. The third evidence is the discovery of thick layer of ashes and charcoal discovered during the archaeological excavations on the uppermost strata, inscribed artwork and soil, and this layer was found over many buildings separated by some distance. This suggests that Nalanda's destruction was accompanied with a widespread fire after the mid-12th century. This corroborates Dharmasvamin account of the destruction.

sad to see the birthplace of buddha was erased of buddhists

Was it only Buddhist monks ? In the university? Library was not burnet in one go Books were burnet as a fuel for boiling water and cooking food That is why it took 3 months to burn all books

One major reason why Buddhism declined is because unlike Hindus who had the Kshatriyas (Warrior Class), Buddhism believed in Non-violence which didn't work in their favor as they weren't able to defend themselves from the invading forces.

Hare Krishna

Nalanda University was the largest university in the world

Their another video of turkey inversion, that battle Is between the turkeys and naga sadhus, that Is called battle of Gokul, Just 3000naga sadhus defeat the 40000 turkeys army and saved the gokul city, please make reaction of this battle of Gokul story

Gautam Buddha was a Hindu king named Sidhartha Gautama. Buddish religion is based on name of Sidhartha Gautam .

Not only Buddhist monks also the Hindu monks were killed

Still India Gave so much to this world

Look in a nalanda university🎓, not only a Buddhist religion🙏🙏 related books📚 will burnt🔥 on that library🏫📚, even Hindu🕉️ religion🙏🙏 related holy📚 books📚 and Hindu🕉️ philosophy and science🔬 related books📚 also burned by this Muslim☪️️ invader king,,in that university🎓. Because, buddha is born in a Hindu🕉️ Royal Family. So in his family, they study📚✏ and learn Hindu🕉️ holy📚 books📚 and philosophy , like, Vedas, Upanishads and Bhagavat githa. And also, some other Hindu🕉️ religion🙏🙏and Hindu🕉️ well knowledged books📚 like, related with yoga🧘‍♀️, astrology and old Indian🇮🇳natural medicine💊system called as Ayurvedic medicines💊., this are all come from Hindu🕉️ religion🙏🙏, and by their saints and by their followers👣, even before buddha is born in India🇮🇳. After he born in a Hindu🕉️ Royal👑 family, and he becomes elder, he started his own teachings and religion🙏🙏, called as Buddhism. Some of his teachings, influenced by the Hindu🕉️ religion🙏🙏 and our Hindu🕉️ philosophy. So his real name, when he born in a Hindu🕉️Royal family,, before he becomes buddha, his real name is, as a Siddhartha .

Hindi king kumaragupta - 1 established Nalanda, all subjects teachings available here and also vedas, malayudda, horse ride, fight etc

Actually Ashoka and harshvardhan converted that from hindus University to Buddhism school 2 Times to throw out hindus from the knowledge which ancient Hindu sages written in the books for the next generation

Islamic invasion of not only India but Rome, Constantinople (Turkey), Central Asia, South-east Asia was the most brutal invasion even worse than British and Now Muslim/African immigrants' illegally entering Europe now. #SaveEuropa #Jihad #immigrants

This video didnot explain why this university & biggest library was ruined to ashes. Actually, its war of civilization and religious practices, when they realize Hinduism is far more ahead of their civilization & religious beliefs, they decide to destory it. Thatswhy Hindu Brahmins & Buddhist monks (Both were almost same and were responsible for academic & spiritual teaching in society) were targeted in Islamic and British rule, even followed by the brown sahebs after independence.

Taxshila university is also oldest one

Sooner or later I hope people will understand that salvation from Evil resides in Karma…

They are still doing it. It is there right . They are guided by holy book. Subhunan civilization.

This video showed Nalanda as out n out Buddhists university. Quite strange..

History ✌️🎉

Now also continuing

It was Chinese accounts plus archeology. There was a network of universities like nalanda, udhyansila, taxila et etc. In Kashmir we have Sharda peeth n martand temple which faced Islamic barbarity n it's recorded by Islamic scholars n etched in living memory of persecuted population passed orally through generation.

buddhism was never dominant religion, its origin and evolution all based on vedic/sanatan/hindu dharma .

Afghan was a hindu nd buddhist nation.pak and bangla were hindu nations.i dont have to explain wt happened.

Woow this is interesting topic

Its a common practice amongst the muslim community , if they can't do it they destroy it. It is precisely what they've done to many civilizations like persians egyptians Hindus and many others

There is no hate towards those who love their culture, history and legacies but there is definitely hate towards those who are sympathizer of murderers, rapist, invader, looter, destroyers. I don't think you will like those Slovakian who shows sympathy towards oppressor of Slovakian people.

Well Bihar(Magadh) is the place where Lord Buddha acheived his enlightment.. So it makes sense that lot of Buddhists used to reside there.. Today only is City of Bodhgaya and Rajgir you can see Budhist monks in Bihar nowhere else. And as sad as it is and as much as we hate muslims for it.. I guess we should have always prepared enough to protect these kinds of places.. the invaders need not necessarily have your kind of morality( Rulers in india while attacking each others not used to kill cilvilians, women, childeren .. everyday life remained mostly the same )... and History are the records of change so I guess after many centuries of prosperity it was time for centuries of disturbance and now is the time for rise !
