It was another great university of ancient India, though it came into rise much later compared to Takshashila University. It also contained variety of courses ranging from religion to science to logic to metaphysics, and students from places as far away as Korea, Japan, Iran, Indonesia came to study here. It was ransacked by turkish invader Bakhtiyar Khalji who wanted to install Islam by force, his troops set fire to the vast library treasure of the Nalanda University and it is said that the amount of literature was so huge that it kept burning for three months!!
Babylonia-now Iraq, Greece, Egypt, Syria, Asia Minor-now Turkey, Arabia, and China to study here

Tirukkural – Tiruvalluvar
Tirukkural – Tiruvalluvar
https://ramamohanraocheruku.blogspot.com/2018/06/tirukkural-tiruvalluvar-thebritish.html
The British after getting settled in India, started
ruling us. Once they made us their subjects they started to thrust their
customs, habits, and ideologies upon us along with their Religion with a view
to making us inferiors in every respect. They laid inroads into our culture and
tried, at the outset, to separate us the Indians into Aryans and Dravidians
which is fundamentally absurd.
This detrimental think tank contained Friedrich Max Müller (6 December 1823 – 28 October 1900), Sir William Jones (28 September 1746 – 27 April 1794), Thomas Babington Macaulay, otherwise called as T.B. McCauley (25 October 1800 – 28 December 1859), Bishop Robert Caldwell (7 May 1814 – 28 August 1891), George Uglow Pope (24 April 1820 – 11 February 1908) and so many people of the like.
Pope was the first person to attempt Tirukkural to
translate into English with his venomous outlook of the great work. There were
also some sincere and honest scholars who wanted to know about our dharma and
the great works of our great people. Two such people are William Henry Drew and
John Lazarus. William Henry Drew translated the first two parts of
Tirukkural as prose in 1840 and 1852, respectively. Along with Drew’s English
prose translation, it contained the original Tamil text, the Tamil commentary
there in was given by Parimelalhagar and Ramanuja Kavirayar's amplification of
the commentary. Drew, however, translated only 630 couplets. The remaining
portions were translated by John Lazarus, a native missionary, thus providing
the first complete English translation.
While the former did not even hesitate to express his
opinion that Tiruvalluvar is a Christian and interpreted Tirukkural
conveniently to his Biblical ideology, the latter one is a true translation of
Kural in its true sense.
In this connection it is not out of context to introduce
Dr. Nagaswamy a great personality who dedicated himself to Tamil culture and
history. Ramachandran Nagaswamy (born 10 August 1930) is an Indian historian, archaeologist and epigraphist who
is known for his work on temple inscriptions and art history of Tamil
Nadu. He served as the founder-Director of the Tamil Nadu Archaeology
Department. He was also instrumental in starting the annual Chidambaram
Natyanjali festival in 1980. He is an authority in Chola
Bronzes. He was awarded India's third highest civilian award the Padma
Bhushan in 2018. (Corroborated by Google)
Dr. Nagaswamy, blames colonial scholars for creating anti-Sanskrit
ideologies.
It was G.U. Pope who started the mischief of breaking
India. He confessed his agenda on his death bed. He admits that his goal has
been to attack the Tamil culture and use it as a weapon against the people. He
proposes the Tirukkural author as Christian and as much later than the reality
just to make him fit his agenda.
He claims that Tirukkural is based entirely on the Bible.
But the hard fact is that the Tirukkural ideology is incompatible with Bible in
very serious ways. G.U. Pope ignores the terms and ideas that he cannot fit
into the Bible. He brings the existence of Valluvar to tenth century as
against, between 1st century B.C. to 1st Century
A.D. (Approximately)
The thesis of Dr. Nagaswamy is as
follows:
1. The ancient Tamil classics that
comprise the foundation of Tamil culture are based on Vedas and Manu Dharma
Shastra as a code of worldly life. Tirukkural, the most important Tamil text
claimed by Dravidian chauvinists for separate origins from Vedas is Tirukkural.
Yet the 3 books it consists of have direct correspondence with the structure
and content of Manu Dharma Shastra.
2. Book 1 of Tirukkural is Aram (అరం) which is an exact
correspondence of Dharma. Book 2 called Porul (పొరుళ్) exactly corresponds to Artha in
Manu Dharma Shastra. Book3 called Kama is a Tamil version of MDS
(Manu Dharma Shastra) thesis on Kama. The sequence as well as exact
structure matches perfectly in both Tamil Tirukkural and Sanskrit Dharmaśāstra.
3. Dr. Nagaswamy shows point by point
that exact correspondence between this foundational Tamil text and certain
Sanskrit shastras. 4. For example, there is EXACT correspondence between the
Sanskrit shastras practice of Pancha-maha-yajna (five great yajnas) and their
Tamil equivalents, in the ceremonial offering of food to: 1) Devas, 2) Rishis,
3) Pitri/ancestors, 4) Atithi/guests, and 5) Bhuta or other living beings. Dr.
Nagaswamy shows that the Tirukkural contains true translation of same Sanskrit
verses.
They did not hesitate to propogate that Saint Thomos in his visit to Tamilnadu of India, which is a coccocted story, mwt Tiruvalluvar and inforced his mind with Christian Philosophy. While the entire Bharat is one and
there is no divide like Arya and Dravida, people like Caldwel created this in a very high scale, which we the Indians believed for a long time. When the DNA, of the people
of the other two big religions of India, also confirms that their ancestors hail from the
same Dharma to which we belong even today, where can we find the said division. If the converts in whom the same
blood is flowing through their veins and arteries as ours, could realise
that they are not aliens we can take the country to any height in any respect.
Swasti.
