Paper Burning

                                                                 The Burying Of Scholars

  In 221 BC, there was an emperor in Japan named Qin who burned the scholars book and work. He later buried the scholars so they wouldn't be able to write the books anymore. In my opinion it's wrong to burn and bury books, work, and scholars.  Because of Emperor Qin, the history of culture and architecture of Japan is now lost due to the emperor.  The work is now lost forever and impossible to recover.  It is cruel to burns people's hard work and then just bury them so they can be silent and not fightback or say what the real history is.

                                                                             Nalanda

    Nalanda was a university in India. It was one of the best university in the world, it attracted students from all places as far as Greece just to study. The library was full of ancient books from grammar, architecture, culture, to religion. Some books where the most important information about Buddhism, but they were destroyed by Bakhtiyar Khilji and his Muslim army.  They sacked the university in 1193. They burned so many books that the fire burned for about three months. The loss of the religious books ended Buddhism in India for hundreds of years.  It is not fair for a random person to just come in and destroy religious items while thinking they are superior.  They destroyed all of the religious text and lost all of the information and then losing the religion completely for hundreds of years.
