Value of Nalanda is perhaps much bigger than present day India itself. Today where our so called intelligent brains die to leave India and do study in abroad, they should be told story of Nalanda which groomed students from entire world be it Greek Philosopher, western world, Japaneese, Russians, chineese or our wn greats. Vasco De Gama discovered a lost India which we see today but Nalanda had made India the world of civilization and learning, world of talents and great brains. Many of the present day subjects were started there. it was the first university of the world, which proves that we Indians were most civilized and started the concept of education and university and shownt he world the importance of research in civilization. Now today even when Nalanda is being rebuild, it's matter of shame to we Indians that people from world are coming forward to remake it, but it's own people, people of India are not showing any interest in it. No group no person reasy to raise money for this cause and mak donation to the state governemnt as contribution of modern day Indians as a tribute to their pride. No filmstar here is so large hearted to donate even his single film salary, no businessmen turning up to controbute, no avaerage people coming up...and who is coming up? people from japan, china, korea, brazil, singapore, usa, srilanka, malaysia! This itself shows how good people we Indians are, even after knowing that new Nalanda will redefine our glory in world, will benefit our own children and brains who leave India for studies, and specially when we know that Nalanda is destined to be best of the world back again!

Very well put, as such the mind set of every educated Indian is abominable, they just don't see any hope. Patriotism is at its worst in India, which sadly is focussed on when India plays cricket rather than much bigger matters. We would develop only when our mind set is changed, only when we feel the urge to see a developed India, only when we strive in that direction rather than cribbing about petty things and how corrupt the govt is are stuff like that. Well back to the topic, Nalanda is not merely a university but a Pride of India and i with my full heart would hell it propel to its full glory.

Ravi, the Premjis, Tata, Birlas, Ambanis why, even Narayan Murthys of the world "donate" when there is a camera and publicity involved. But forget about our Bachchans, Tendulkars and Rajnikanths. They are the leaches of our society.
