rediff get your facts straight

If the buddha is said to have visited the university "several times"..it should have existed around 600 B.C not from the 5th to 12 th century AD.
Nevertheless, Nalanda & takshashila stand as proud symbols of India's great history, and it would do us proud to herald in a new era of students some 2500 yrs since it began.

Buddha visited Nalanda several times, not Nalanda University, which was established much later.
