NEW DELHI - Singapore's former foreign minister George Yeo has resigned as chancellor of the revived Nalanda University, an ancient seat of learning in India's eastern Bihar state.

Mr Yeo announced his resignation in a statement on Friday (Nov 25), citing the creation of a new Governing Board which he said was "a complete surprise" to him and to most members of the old Governing Board, and that he was "neither involved in the preparation nor consulted beforehand".

"When I was appointed Chancellor in July 2015, I was told that a new Governing Board would be formed under an amended Act, core aspects of which the Ministry of External Affairs sought my views on. The amended Act would have removed a major flaw in the current Act which in essence offers Governing Board seats to East Asian Summit countries making the highest financial contributions in the last three years," Mr Yeo said in the statement.

"This provision, which was never recommended by the Nalanda Mentor Group, would not have been a good way to constitute the Governing Board and was the reason the Government of India requested the Nalanda Mentor Group to continue functioning as the Governing Board for a number of years until the Act could be amended.

"For reasons not entirely clear to me, the Government of India has decided to form the new Governing Board with immediate effect before the Act is amended. This is of course entirely the prerogative of the Government of India,'' he added.

"The circumstances under which the leadership change in Nalanda University has been suddenly and summarily effected is disturbing and possibly harmful to the University's development. It is puzzling why I, as Chancellor, was not even given notice of it. When I was invited to take over the responsibility from Amartya Sen last year, I was repeatedly assured that the University would have autonomy. This appears not to be the case now."

"With deep sadness, I have submitted my letter of resignation as Chancellor to the Visitor,'' he said.

Mr Yeo took over from Nobel prize- winning economist Amartya Sen as chancellor. He had been a prime mover of the revival effort of the educational institute since it was established in 2010. In 2012, the Indian government awarded him the Padma Bhushan, the third highest civilian award in India, for his role in public affairs.

Nalanda, founded in the fifth century, was India's first residential university that drew scholars from China, Persia and Turkey. It was famed for its nine-storey library, burnt down by invaders in 1193. The revival efforts kicked off in 2006 and received the support of the East Asia Summit.

Who destroyed Nalanda? Crusaders?

By Muslim invaders. Buddhism was exterminated in India from that time onwards. The current Buddhists there are converts by modern Sri Lankan missionaries.

Maybe they were muslims, but they were the mongol khan horde who terrorised the world between the pacific to the atlantic. The buddhist must have invoke their wrath to receive such total annihilation and destruction. Cities that does not surrender suffer this fate.
Till today, the use of the word "khan" means of mongolian heritage. Imran khan, aamir khan, shahrooke khan etc.
1 out of 200 people between the pacific and atlantic has chinggis khan genes in them. That shows how many women had the honour of being ravished by such a great man.

There are no "Mongolians" until the 12th Century AD (when Genghis Khan united the nomads in "Mongolia" and call them Mongolians based on his own tribe name). The ones that Invaded India and helped wiped out Buddhism mix of original Arab raiders (who expanded Islam from Saudi Arabia) as well as the middle eastern Muslim converts from Afghanistan and Persia. The original muslim invaders were infamous for their massacres in northern India (including Pakistan), with many of the original Hindu and Buddhist cities burnt to the ground (that is the reason why you do not see much of India's ancient stone structures survive unlike in Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Israel, Italy). Hindu Kush is named because it is where many of the captured Hindus were slaughtered on massive scale.

The Mongols on the other hand inflicted devastating attacks on the Muslims especially with the total destruction of Baghdad which was the capital of Abbasids Islam regime (considered "golden age" of Islam). In fact the Mongols were mostly Nestorian Christians and Tibetan Buddhists. They actually even try to convert the local Persians under their rule to Buddhism (building Lamaist temples) under the later Mongol khans in west of China converted en masse to Islam (and got assimilated into local populations in Russia and Middle East).

Never trust an ah neh especially if you're a chinaman. They'll screw you for sure.

In the first place, India made a mistake to appoint George Yeo

It's quite hard to believe that Muslims would do that sort of thing. We are always taught that Islam is a religion of peace and under Islam's version of the Geneva Convention, Muslims are forbidden to plunder and loot.

PAP Cronies now realised the Roti Prata Skills of Indian. Shake head, talk talk, everthing yes yes, take money liao then no result

The sudden dissolution of the old Nalanda Board is bound up with Indian domestic politics which I do not wish to be embroiled in. I am not an Indian citizen and prefer not to make further comments beyond what is contained in my statement of 25 November 2016 (see below). On the Nalanda project, I have worked closely with leaders of different political parties in India including the BJP and Congress.
I remain completely committed to the original mission of Nalanda as supported by the leaders of the East Asian Summit in 2009 and as debated and unanimously agreed to by all political parties in India in both the Upper and Lower Houses when the Act was passed in 2010.
Nalanda is an idea whose time has come. It is bigger than and will outlast anyone of us.
Statement by George Yeo, Chancellor of Nalanda University
25 November 2016
The Order which the Visitor approved on 21 November 2016 dissolving the Governing Board and creating a new one came as a complete surprise to me and to most members of the old Governing Board. I was neither involved in the preparation nor consulted beforehand.
When I was appointed Chancellor in July 2015, I was told that a new Governing Board would be formed under an amended Act, core aspects of which the Ministry of External Affairs sought my views on. The amended Act would have removed a major flaw in the current Act which in essence offers Governing Board seats to East Asian Summit countries making the highest financial contributions in the last three years. This provision, which was never recommended by the Nalanda Mentor Group, would not have been a good way to constitute the Governing Board and was the reason the Government of India requested the Nalanda Mentor Group to continue functioning as the Governing Board for a number of years until the Act could be amended. For reasons not entirely clear to me, the Government of India has decided to form the new Governing Board with immediate effect before the Act is amended. This is of course entirely the prerogative of the Government of India.
Pending the appointment of a new Vice-Chancellor, the incumbent Vice-Chancellor, Dr Gopa Sabharwal, whose extended term ended on 24 November, was to stay on as interim Vice-Chancellor until the new Vice-Chancellor is in place, to ensure that there is no hiatus in the leadership of the University. This is provided for in the University Statutes and fully supported by the old Governing Board. However, on 22 November, the Visitor overruled the Governing Board and directed that the senior-most Dean be appointed instead.
The circumstances under which the leadership change in Nalanda University has been suddenly and summarily effected is disturbing and possibly harmful to the University's development. It is puzzling why I, as Chancellor, was not even given notice of it. When I was invited to take over the responsibility from Amartya Sen last year, I was repeatedly assured that the University would have autonomy. This appears not to be the case now. Accordingly, and with deep sadness, I have submitted my letter of resignation as Chancellor to the Visitor.
It has been an honour and a privilege for me to be associated with the revival of Nalanda over the last decade, to serve as a member of the Nalanda Mentors Group and the Governing Board under the leadership of Amartya Sen, and to be appointed its second Chancellor. Despite difficult circumstances, the University has made remarkable progress through the tireless effort of Dr Gopa Sabharwal and her colleagues.
The first Convocation in August this year presided over by the Visitor was a moment in history. Nalanda is an idea whose time has come and larger than anyone of us.

So it was the hindus that killed the buddhist
