The correct answer is Nalanda University. Founded in the 5th century CE in Bihar, India, Nalanda was not just a university—it was an intellectual hub that attracted over 10,000 students and 2,000 teachers from around the world. The campus had expansive libraries with countless manuscripts, some of which took months to burn when the university was tragically destroyed in the 12th century by invaders. Lesser known Fact: Did you know that Nalanda’s library, known as Dharma Gunj (Treasure of Truth), was so vast that it burned for three continuous months after the invasion? This shows how rich and advanced India’s ancient education system was.
