Nalanda university and what we like it to be

There are efforts to revive Nalanda university and that is a good thing. To bring this university to glory however one has to think out of the box. To gain international attention one need to pay attention to oneself first. And if one is paying attention to oneself then seeking international attention takes a back seat as it should. I would like to see a revival of Nalanda university as a university that preserve and take forward ancient knowledge and infuse fresh ideas without rejecting anything useful. Some courses I would like to see in this university:

1. Documentation
2. Ayurveda and other traditional medicine
3. Metallurgy
4. Arts
5. Farming and nature study
6. Music and Dance
7. Science, Mathematics, and all the other regular stuff.

Cheers!
