You probably didn't figure out what CD was saying, he clearly said that demons are potrayed diffrently in Buddhism and it has a close linkage with Hinduism. You could have asked him what did he mean before saying that asuras are demons in hinduism. That sounded like you generalzed. Which was not a complete information.
Asuras is not eaqual to demons and I never said that Asuras = Demons and I am sure about that .
Diti's sons were the daityas (demons). They were named Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakashipu, and amongst their descendants were several other powerful daityas liked Bali and Banasura. Diti also had a daughter named Simhika who was married to a danava (demon) named Viprachitti.
