A Warning and a Lesson from History

What was lost can never be fully measured, millions of texts, centuries of experimentation, questions asked,

and answers erased before they could reach us. Nalanda reminds us of an uncomfortable

truth. Civilizations can value knowledge deeply, and still destroy

it through fear, ignorance, or power. Long before modern universities,

Nalanda proved that global scholarship was possible, organized, multilingual,

and open to the world. Nalanda was not just a university. It was a warning

and a lesson. Knowledge survives only when societies choose to protect it.
