Top 10 Reasons for Decline of Buddhism in India । “Why Hinduism survived but Buddhism was Lost“
Please click here for re-uploaded video in better audio quality :
Why Buddhism declined in India? Was it because of Brahmanical forces? Was it because of large scale destructions and mass slaughter of Buddhist populations during Islamic invasions? Or it was because of the onslaught of Hindu kings like Pusyamitra sunga or King Shashanka? If the reason for the decline of Buddhism lied in the internal weaknesses and corruption that had crept into Indian Buddhism during the middle ages. We will try to answer this question which is one of the most enigmatic puzzles in the history of India. We will try to understand why Buddhism declined and was lost in the place where it originated and flourished.
If Buddhist chiefs collaborated with the army of Mohammad Bin Qasim during the Arab invasions of Sindh in the 8th century, and what was the impact of these collaborations on Buddhism in Western India. We will also travel East and South in India and try to understand what happened to Buddhism there and how the persecution and destruction of Buddhism were so complete.
There is an interesting fact that all those parts of India, which were predominantly Buddhist before the Islamic invasions of the middle ages, like Punjab, Sindh, Gandhar and Bengal eventually became the stronghold of Islam by the 12th century AD.
Another interesting question that needs an answer is, why Hinduism and Jainism were able to survive the Middle Ages and are thriving even today in India, while Buddhism was lost forever. Most of the Buddhist monuments built during the golden ages of India were lost and were rediscovered only during the 19th and 20th centuries, after remaining lost for more than 800 years under the debris of history.
