The destruction of temples & educational institutions!

The KILLINGS of learned monks & the scattering of students, led to a widespread decline in Hindu, Jain and Buddha education.

The country soon grew in to a wilderness,
the haunt of WILD BEASTS,
and the REFUGE of robbers.

The fugitive inhabitants, returning in small numbers to their DESTROYED homes,
gradually re-peopled the country and reclaimed bits of the waste.
