Acording whit theory from the 3 links above,Nalanda was a marginal town in Bihar and become buddhist center and university only later in time(4-5century AD).
Taxila(in Punjab) was the first big center of buddhism(near Afganistan).

Nalanda was the first center. Bodh Gaya was in Vihara.
Again the question remains the same
Is Nalanda in Afghanistan?

Jones' view that the crucial state of Magadha was Bihar is baseless. Magan in west-Baluchistan must have been the early Magadha. Manu of the RigVeda was Manium of Magan . The Sumerian records always cite Dilmun, Magan, and Melukhkha together which implies that they probably formed a confederation. Manu was the king of Dilmun, Magan and Melukhkha.
