I rephrased a lot of this to make it (to my eyes) flow more smoothly; please change it back if you don't like it. (I thought I was logged in but maybe not.) A couple of things:
- Does it make sense to have two pages, Benares and Varanasi? - the second currently consists of the fact that Varanasi has a locomotive factory.
- 'interfered with' (the ghats) sounds odd to me, but I don't know what exactly they (the ministry) did so I've left it alone. Is my definition of ghats okay by the way?

Kaysov: (a very minor point) - I think some of our edits here are examples of the differences between British and Indian English. In Britain we'd usually say 'cause damage to', but in India perhaps 'cause a damage to' is more common? I'm certainly not demanding this page should be in British rather than Indian English, I just found it interesting having some vague interest in languages. Anyway if my thes sound wrong to you (the ministry, the Ganga) you should probably delete them again - it's better to be consistent. --Shaydon
The article says that Benaras was a seat of learning by 700 BC, and this was after the establishment of Takshashila as a Buddhist centre. I thought that Buddhism was founded after c. 500 BC with the birth of Siddhartha Gautama. Before that, how could there be a Buddhist university?

regarding the structure of page
- Anupam Srivastava I dont think there is any need to add schools or the list will keep increasing
