This one should rank one of the best project taken up by any Indian goverment post Independence,the rebuilding of the worlds oldest, the biggest and best residential university for 2000 + years before it was burnt by one of the Muslim Invader in 1100's . Legend has it that the library burnt for months and it led to fading of edge which india carried in mathematics, astronomy, alchemy, and anatomy for thousands of years.
A world university is getting built on the ruins of the old Nalanda University , with APJ Abdul Kalam as visiting professor and Amarty Sen as the VC. What was lost in terms of thousands of books and manuscripts can't be recovered but salute to the Bihar goverment and all the great people who has got involved to connect with india's ancient glory .
