It is not surprising you have not mentioned what happened to Nalanda University after the 12th century. It was destroyed by pious and intellectually bright muslim invaders and raged to the ground. The famous Alexandria University also met the same fate. By not talking of these great bandits you have served the nation. I feel Nalanda should remain as ruins only as an epitome of wanton aggression by some great foreign mahatmas who tried their best to destroy the Indian civilization, culture and religion. Government can make a new hi fi university anywhere but preserve the ruins where all the leaves and "tulot" papers on which Buddhist, Jain and Hindu religious thoughts and philosophy were written, were burnt to make fire and food for the holy barbarian soldiers from the Ghajani after butchering nearly ten thousand students and teachers. It must be kept as such as an archeological masterpiece created by the followers of that epileptic prophet.

Dear Sugata, dont worry the so called cheap politics of religion bases reservation will destroy the proposed university also. There is no point of making a university if u cant keep it saperate from politics. I am sure that soon IIMs are going to loose their charms.

As you said, the government will meddle with the education and spoil every good university. Very soon the IITs and IIMs will become corporation schools.
