Do you know this ? In 1193, the Nalanda University was ransacked by[37] Bakhtiyar Khilji, a Turk.[38] The Persian historian Minhaj-i-Siraj, in his chronicle the Tabaqat-i-Nasiri, reported that thousands of monks were burned alive and thousands beheaded as Khilji tried his best to uproot Buddhism. The burning of the library continued for several months and smoke from the burning manuscripts hung for days like a dark pall over the low hills. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nalanda
