Q& A
A mentor group set up for this is to meet in August to discuss the treaty that is to be adopted in December this year at the East Asia summit. The mentor group has identified the pedagogy. It would be a postgraduate institution, a semi-European model with a rector (instead of vice-chancellor), someone internationally recognised. The project should take off in 2009 when construction begins. The architecture will retain the original flavour.
What would the medium of instruction be?
Mainly English. We aim to include the study of Asian languages, especially dormant ones like Sanskrit, Pali and Prakrit. Pali is still one of the options in the Indian Administrative Service examination, but few choose it. Nalanda was a confluence of cross-cultural influences between East and South Asia. The idea is to revive the spirit.
