If a few of our billionaires (along with ordinary folk) contribute a huge endowment could be created! Anil Agarwal is setting up Vedanta with $1 billion of his own money (he has $5 billion). Maybe if some of our other multi-billionaires could be encouraged to spare a little for this noble cause we could once again have this great University.

Abcd, reservation was created by sick menatality folkks to show discrimination at the root level. By generating reservation they showed Indian society that it is not one social and communal group. That is why in ancient India there was no reservation. Even though every community had difference of labor, work and jobs to do, but because there were no reservations, every one lived in Peace.

You are absolutely wrong, In ancient India also we have reservations but not for dalits, its for Brahmins..Only Brahmins are allowed to study "Vedas" . Entire higher education is reserved for Brahmins, that is more dangerous than present day reservation system.

If only brahmins were allowed to study veda how can you explain krishna,rama,and hunuman being well versed in vedas ?Even after 60 yrs of independence how many hindus buy vedas and study them specaily from dalit caste ?Nalanda unversity was a buddhist unversity caste is not a restrain to become a monk or a priest atleast in that religion ,did the unversity prevent anybody for caste reason then how do explain foreign students.You people are so blind with hate for brahmins y'll present anythings without any proof.why do you beleive that kings,genrals ,merchants(india had trade with arab,european,egypt and south asian countries) where they all illeterate? What prevented kings and noble men(who were non brahmins most of the time) to open school and unversity for all caste people(which in fact they did).
