From the 700s CE until the Christian conquest seven hundred years later, the Jews and Muslims supported their respective academies and scholars. Chemistry, mathematics, astronomy and philosophy were a few of the fields of pursuit at the time, together with the respective religious teaching; and this scholarship to some degree spread elsewhere too. Later, the Christians put a stop to all of this.
Because of Its 1000 years of slavery, India has lost most of its ancient knowledge. Invaders did not only ruled, but also tried to destroy its culture. Nalanda and Takshila was center of learning.

By the time of the Muslim conquest, many of the most important ancient texts had survived under the protection of the Eastern Churches. The Nestorians and Jacobites continued to flourish for some centuries under Islamic rule, and provided many of the scholars of the early Islamic empire, teaching Muslim scholars the fundamentals of Greek scholarship.
