"The issue of the spread of knowledge was raised in a conversation in the seventh century when Xuan Zang completed his studies and

was considering going back to China. The professors at Nalanda asked Xuan Zang to stay on as a member of the faculty."

The professors? The faculty? Completed his studies? Andrew would perhaps not characterize this as fantastic, but I think it fundamentally and entirely misrepresents the very nature of Nalanda, and plops it right down in the European context to which Sen wishes to equate the Indian institution.
