Opinion: Why it’s essential for school students to learn about religious violence in ancient India

Historian DN Jha’s ‘Against the Grain’, which challenges the Hindutva depiction of Indian history, could serve as a model for tackling this in textbooks.

This goes against the very essence of Hindutva ideology which portrays Hindus as civilized tolerant beings viz a viz warlike and intolerant Muslims. Jha and his arguments however will simply be set aside as "lefty nonsense" because ultimately Marxists are the reason why India is not a superpower today of course

Buddhism in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan disappeared due to 100s of reason not just one.

First of all, Buddhism like other religion required state patronisation. After the Mauryan and Kushan empire, state patronisation of Buddhism disappeared due to lack of Buddhist kingdoms and hence Buddhism stopped flourishing.


Then Buddhism failed to prove an ideal system for Indians who are full of superstitions, have a rigid caste system and are natural worshippers. The same can be said for Islam in India. Muslim rulers could not convert the majority of Indians into Islam because of their superstitious mentality and strong belief in caste system. Buddhism thrived in China, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and ASEAN where war and bloodshed was rampant and Buddhism proved to be an ideal system.

Persecution is also another reason. Buddhists were first persecuted by the Hindu Brahmins. Apart from persecution, Hindus assimilated Buddhists into Hinduism by portraying Lord Buddha as an avatar of Vishnu. Another wave of persecution was initiated by the Sassanid Zoroastrians in Iran and Afghanistan during the Kushan rule. The final wave of perfect was initiated by Muslims under Bakhtiyar Khilji although Buddhism was in a much weaker position when Khilji landed in Bengal.

Migration was another cause. Many Buddhists migrated from India to Tibet, China, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and so on. Some famous Buddhist migrants are Bodhi Dharma who founded Shaolin martial arts, Atisha Dipankara who was the founder of Tibetan Buddhism and many more.

There are other reasons why Buddhism disappeared from India. Will discuss them later.

So if we follow the hindutva ideology ,buddhists are the real land owners of the subcontinent . Muslims jumped quite later into this scene. Hindus caused far more damage to buddhism than Muslims.
But these hypocrite indians won't convert all hindu temples in india into buddhist monasteries.
As to no surprise so far no indian can be seen this thread as well.
Most disgusting people on the face of earth.

We don’t give a damn to leftist media outlets like Troll.in as their articles contain rhetorics of politically biased “experts”.

Also Scroll.in gets funding from foreign businessmen having links to George Soros, so let the deluded read that stuff.

There is nothing called real land owner. The concept of my land my country is a modern concept. There were no borders thousands of years ago. People migrated to different areas and settled and called them their land. The original owner of this entire planet are early men or homo sapiens if you want to realistically find the earth's original owner.
