[Buddha-l] Nalanda's destruction

[L.S. Cousins]

Dear Dan,

There is nothing in these links to support the idea that they are 'more 
interested in Islamic studies'. The project is obviously tied in with 
the idea of developing an economic community along the ASEAN-China-India 
axis.

The last link is in fact to Nava-Nālanda-Mahāvihāra. I am curious about 
this because several Pali scholars from there were at a conference I was 
just at in Bangkok. I see that Nava-Nālanda-Mahāvihāra has been 'deemed 
a university'. So is this being merged into the new University ?
