Why can’t Buddhism develop in India? We all know that Buddhism originated from India, but in fact, during the Mauryan Dynasty, when Buddhism was at its peak and Buddhism was positioned as the state religion in India, Buddhists were still only a minority, and now it is even less at 0.74%. So why can't it develop? Buddhism is obviously much better than Hinduism. It has no caste system and encourages people to do good deeds. The reason is that the predecessor of Hinduism is actually Brahmanism. Hinduism was developed by absorbing Brahmanism religion, Buddhism and some local schools of thought in India. Brahmanism emphasizes the strict caste system and mainly believes in three great gods, namely Vishnu, Brahma and Shiva. In addition to belief in these three main gods, Hinduism has all-encompassing beliefs in all kinds of gods, such as Emperor Shakti, Usha, God of Justice, Lipu, Wind God, Moon God, and even King Yama. Duxin has successfully integrated the folk beliefs of India, coupled with the extermination of Buddhism movements in the past dynasties of India. Therefore, Buddhism gradually declined in popularity.
