Japanese: I want to go to Nalanda. How do I
reach there?
Indian: You need to take a train to
Bakhtiyarpur in Bihar and then a cab from there.
Japanese: Why is the station’s name
Bakhtiyarpur? Who is Bakhtiyar?
Indian (perplexed): Bakhtiyarpur is named
after Bakhtiyar Khilji.
Japanese: Wasn’t he the same guy who burnt
down the original Nalanda University and killed thousands of monks who taught
and studied there?
Indian: Yes
Japanese: strange, You guys give so much
honor to mass murderers.
