I am assuming you are trying to address me.
There is nothing to debate on the other point, and I will explain why.
Arun Shourie presents two theories:
- Muslims destroyed Nalanda (MDN)
- Hindus destroyed Nalanda (HDN)
He seems to agree with MDN, and so do I, and then, he goes on to paint HDN as "Marxist account."
Not only that, for a person of his age, he viciously attacks Mr. Jha, despite the fact the Mr. Jha did not invent anything, but simply reiterated what is written in Pag Sam Job Zang.
I can only conclude that Arun Shourie is filled with a lot of hate for anyone who doesn't agree with him, and he will pull all stops to launch his inane tirades against them, which I find rather childish, if not utterly insane. I don't know how learned Arun Shourie is, but he certainly has not learnt the basics of decorum.
I do not know whether Mr. Jha has responded, but for him, the best response is a dignified silence. He should not accord any respectability to the article by Arun Shourie, and leave it with the contemptuous disdain that it deserves.
