Some Reddit answers to why Buddhism is no longer in India.

 


I found these interesting.

  • Buddhism originated in India but today, most of India is either Hindu or Muslim. Conversely, Buddhism is very common in East Asian countries such as Japan. What were some of the key factors that lead to the decline of Buddhism in India and its rise in East Asia?

  • /u/troymcclurehere answers Why did Buddhism slowly decline in India and Hinduism flourish?

  • /u/iitii answers The Indian subcontinent was the birthplace of Buddhism. The teaching of Buddha found lots of success in foreign lands such as China, Myanmar, and Indochina. Yet in its homeland, it is currently a very small minority. How could this be?

  • /u/JimeDorje answers What exactly happened to Buddhism in India? How did it go from being an effective State Religion for nearly a millennium to an also-ran by the time of India's Muslim Invasions in the early 1100s?

  • /u/SudarshanIyer answers What exactly happened to Buddhism in India? How did it go from being an effective State Religion for nearly a millennium to an also-ran by the time of India's Muslim Invasions in the early 1100s?


They were a response to this article that asserts it was SHANKARACHARYA's fault. The response to this article is found on Reddit.
