The Buddhist civilization in India had been a great cultural phenomenon
before the advent of Islam. Greek influence mingled with Buddhist
culture creating the Gandhara civilization of northern Pakistan, the
remains of which can be visited today all along the Silk Road, from the
ruins of Taxila to the valley of Hunza. Taxila was the ancient seat of
learning in Pakistan, where students came from China and the Middle
East to learn all sorts of disciplines.
Hindu Brahmins saw the Buddhists as a direct threat to their oppressive
caste system. Therefore, they were hell bent on destroying the
peaceful Buddhists. Buddhism and Islam had both challenged the Brahmin
tyranny of the caste system, and Brahmins saw both as natural enemies.
The Buddhist civilization was short lived as the cunning Hindu Brahmins
organized attacks and killed off the Buddhists from India, committing
large scale genocide, with the result that today most Buddhists are
found not in India but outside of it.
Today, the Brahmins allege that Muslims, their other enemies, had
killed the Buddhists.
However, it is very easy to see through this Brahmin lie.
First of all, if Muslims had wanted to kill the Buddhists, they would
have killed the Brahmins first and in greater priority, as Brahmins and
Muslims have been the worst of enemies due to Brahmin polytheism and
idol worship, while Muslims and Buddhists have not.
This means that the Brahmins would also not exist in India today, were
the Muslims to be such barbarians.
Secondly, the Hindu Brahmins claim that Muslims converted Hindus by
force to Islam. Again a lie. If Muslims had wanted to convert Hindus
by force, the Brahmins would have been completely converted to Islam,
as they were much fewer in number than the other castes. However, we
see today that Brahmins by and large did not convert to Islam, only the
lower castes did.
This is perfect proof that Hindus' conversion to Islam took place
willingly, as the upper caste Brahmins, though in a tiny minority,
still remained Hindu, and nobody forced them otherwise.
Brahmin lies have spread all over the Internet today, just like they
have been spreading throughout India and poisoning the minds of many
other nations for centuries.

however, destroying national monuments by Central Governmenet can
happen only in India, as the destruction of 3000 more mosques after
Babri Mosque is promised by your Advani. Not only that, the Central
Government also endorses killing of Christian priests on a nation-wide
scale.
Of course, people like Lashkar will see to it that the demolition plans
do not materialize.

Mohammed Ghazni destroyed university of Taxila
Bhaktiar Khilji destroyed university of Buddhist Nalanda
Islam wiped out buddhism from central asia and afganistan
Muslims even today kill of buddhists of Ladakh and in Chittagong
The fact of the matter is that most of the Indo-Gangetic plain at the
dawn of the last millennium was dominated by Buddhists. The peaceful
nature of their faith that prohibited them from fighting back only
helped Muslim marauders such as Khilji and Qutab-ud-din to conquer
India and slaughter millions.
The only resistance to the Muslim marauders came from residual Hindu
populations. The intolerance and narrow-minded acts of the Muslim
marauders just drove the remaining Buddhist populations back into the
Hindu fold for protection. Brahmins at the time were running for their
own lives.
For Mr. Zadeh's own enlightenment, the University at Taxila was burned
down by Khilji as it was considered heretic by his Islamic advisors.

Most of the Indo-Gangetic plain cannot have been dominated by Buddhists
in a majority as you claim, as some of them would have survived to this
day.
But the complete absence of Buddhism from India, coupled with lower
caste conversion to Islam and upper caste minority sticking to
Brahminism, only goes to prove my point that it is not Islam that drove
the Buddhists out, it was the Brahmins. Most history books testify to
this, if you have read up on this.
Brahmins were not particularly great warriors, therefore any forced
conversions would have targeted them first. However, the majority of
Kshatriya Punjabis, who WERE warriors, did convert to Islam (Punjab
being Muslim majority at Partition) further disproving any theory on
Hindu resistance to imaginary Islamic tyranny.
Brahmins have always regarded first Buddhists, then Muslims as their
enemies due to the anti-racist ideologies of Buddhism and Islam.
Hinduism, on the other hand, has its fundaments in pure, blatant,
outright and shameless racism of the worst degree, orchestrated in a
society wide fabric, justified through legislation, propagated by the
Brahmins to suit their inhumane goals.
A sad reminder of a great civilization gone wrong at the hands of the
cunning few and the stupid many.
It all fits in very logically.

The massacres and oppression perpetrated by Brahmanist zealots out of
religious hatred for Buddhists in ancient times are a matter of the
historical record. Yet, for reasons best known to themselves,
Brahmanists have been trying to conceal the hideous, blood-stained
record of Hinduism.
The truth must be told.
As the revival of Brahmanical Hinduism progressed, atrocities against
Buddhists increased both in strength and in number. As Goyal [394]
notes, "According to many scholars hostility of the Brahmanas was one
of the major causes of the decline of Buddhism in India." The hatred
poured out against Buddhists in Hindu scriptures offers ample evidence
of this. To quote Goyal again [394-5]:
"Yajnavalkya (I. 271-72) declares that the very sight of a Buddhist
monk, even in dreams, is inauspicious. The Brhannaradiya-purana lays it
down as a principal sin for a Brahmana to enter the house of a Buddhist
even in times of great peril. The drama Mrchchhakatika shows that in
Ujjain the Buddhist monks were despised and their sight was considered
inauspicious. The Vishnupurana(XVIII 13-18) also regards the Buddha as
Mayamoha who appeared in the world to delude the demons. Kumarila is
said to have instigated King Sudhanvan of Ujjain to exterminate the
Buddhists. ... The Kerala- utpatti describes how he exterminated the
Buddhists from Kerala."
Earlier Post 7th Century Assualts on Buddhism
The Chinese traveller Yuan Chwang (Huen Tsang), who visited India in the
seventh century records the oppressions of Shashanka, the king of
Gauda, who was a devotee of Shiva. Yuan Chwang's account reads, "In
recent times Shashanka, the enemy and oppressor of Buddhism, cut down
the Bodhi tree, destroyed its roots down to the water and burned what
remained." [Watters II p.115] He also says that Shashanka tried "to
have the image (of Lord Buddha at Bodhgaya) removed and replaced by one
of Shiva". Another independent account of Shashanka's oppressions is
found in the Aryamanjushrimulakalpa, which refers to Shashanka
destroying "the beautiful image of Buddha" [Jayaswal, 49-50].
Another prominent seventh century murderer of Buddhists was Sudhanvan of
Ujjain, already mentioned in the quotation from Goyal above as having
been supposedly instigated by Kumarila Bhatt. Madhava Acharya, in his
"Sankara-digvijayam" of the fourteenth century A.D., records that
Suddhanvan "issued orders to put to death all the Buddhists from
Ramesvaram to the Himalayas".
Nalanda Destroyed by Hindu Zealots
Even after the Islamic invasions of India, Brahmanist bigotry and
hatred for Buddhists was not subdued. According to Sharmasvamin, a
Tibetan pilgrim who visited Bihar three decaes after the invasion of
Bakhtiaruddin Khilji in the 12th century, the biggest library at
Nalanda was destroyed by Hindu mendicants who took advantage of the
chaos produced by the invasion.
He says that "they (Hindus) performed a Yajna, a fire sacrifice, and
threw living embers and ashes from the sacrifice into the Buddhist
temples. This produced a great conflagration which consumed Ratnabodhi,
the nine-storeyed library of the Nalanda University". [Prakash, 213].
Numerous destroyed Buddhist shrines were converted into Hindu temples
after their destruction. Ahir [58] notes that "The Seat of Buddha's
Enlightenment was in the possession of a Hindu Mahant till 1952. Huen
Tsang, tells us that in the seventh century A.D. not only was the Bodhi
Tree at Gaya cut down by the Shaivite Shashanka, but that that worthy
tried to install an image of Shiva in place of that of the Tathagata.
One easy conclusion: there was not at that time an idol of Shiva at the
spot; now, there is a shivalingam in the temple. The Indian Supreme
court has not given its verdict in the case after 50 years!
Similarly, at Kushinara, where the Buddha had entered into
Mahaparinirvana, the cremation stupa had been converted into a Hindu
temple, and on top of it stood the temple of Rambhar Bhavani when
Cunningham discovered the site in 1860-61.
Among the shrines which still continue to be dedicated to Hindu gods
mention may be made of the Caityas of Chezrala and Ter in Andhra
Pradesh which are now Shiva and Vishnu temples respectively. The temple
of Madhava at Sal Kusa, opposite Gauhati in Asam, was once a sacred
shrine of the Buddhists. ... And the famous Jagannatha temple at Puri
in Orissa was also originally a Buddhist shrine. Similarly, the
Vishnupada temple at Gaya was also once a Buddhist shrine." As
Rajendralal Mitra notes in his famous work of 1878 [quoted in Ahir,
59] the feet of Buddha at Gaya were rechristened the feet of Vishnu and
held as the most sacred object of worship in the new Vishnupada temple.
Hinduism's record of violence and bigotry against the peaceful
followers of Lord Buddha is unparalleled. I trust this marshalling of
the available evidence for the benefit of readers who may not have had
access to it will impel Brahmanists to accept and apologise for the
crimes committed in the name of Hinduism.

Bibliography.
Annexed to India under the Maurya Dynasty, the Gandhara province became
the object of intense missionary activity by the Buddhist emperor Asoka
(reigned c. 273-232 BCE). He made Buddhism the state religion, enforced
the Buddhist doctrine of nonviolence (ahimsa) and prohibited animal
sacrifices. In the first century AD the Kushans, a tribe of Scythian
stock from north China made themselves masters of Gandhara, becoming
great patrons of Buddhism. But around 450 AD, the Buddhist civilization
of Gandhara was completely destroyed by the White Huns, the
Hephthalites, in the sixth century.
The disastrous invasion of the White Huns put an end to all further
productive activity in the once flourishing Gandhara province. Little
is known about this time period except from Chinese pilgrims who as
early as the fifth century AD undertook the long and arduous journey to
the Holy Land of Buddhism. Fa Hsien, who traveled through the Peshawar
Valley shortly after AD 400 described that the Gandhara province
flourished, and that Emperor Kanishka's successors "were well cared
for." When his successor, Sung Yen, visited the region in 520, he
reported that the country had been overrun by the Huns. A few years
later he reported that the Huns had virtually expiated Buddhism, had
destroyed monasteries and had slashed most of the population in
Gandhara. A century later, when the famous Chinese pilgrim Hsuan-Tsang
traveled through north-west Southasia he found Gandhara in a ruined,
depopulated state.
He describes in his "Records of the Western Countries," that ruined
monasteries greeted him everywhere in the Peshawar Valley and reports
of the terrible desolation of the once flourishing Buddhist centers.
The famous Hun ruler Meharkula converted to Shaivism (Hinduism), and in
collaboration with the Brahmins, with Huns absorbed in the Hindu fold
as Kshatriyas, further destruction of Buddhism was carried out
throughout the northwest part of the subcontinent.

bullshit! here is a quote from Encyclopedia Britannica:
"Tibetan Buddhism: distinctive form of Buddhism that evolved from the
7th century AD in Tibet. It is based mainly on the rigorous
intellectual disciplines of Madhyamika and Yogacara philosophy and
utilizes the symbolic ritual practices of Vajrayana (Tantric Buddhism).
Tibetan Buddhism also incorporates the monastic disciplines of early
Theravada Buddhism "
here is another quote from MSN encarta:
"Tibetan Buddhism, predominant religion of Tibet and Mongolia, also
called Lamaism; it is essentially Buddhism of the Mahayana school (see
Mahayana Buddhism), with elements of modified Shaivism and native
ritualistic shamanism. "
Both sources clearly identify Tibetan Buddhism as a branch of
Buddhism. You basically have no idea what the fuck you are
talking about.

more crap. tibetans do not consider men to be
gods. they consider the dalai lama to be
"physical manifestations of the compassionate bodhisattva
(buddha-to-be), " (quote from Encyclopedia Britannica)
Here is another quote from Encyclopedia Britannica on the
reason for the demise of Buddhism in India. It puts the
blame on the barbarity of the muslim invaders:
"Thus, after the Muslim invaders sacked the Indian monasteries in the
12th century AD, Buddhists had little basis for recovery. "
Why dont you shut up and crawl back under a rock.

A lot more astute and knowledgeable netters (than you can ever be) have
discussedthis topic in the past. Both Gurupdesh Singh and Rohan Oberoi were
given
historical evidence to prove that this was not the case and that
Islamic barbarians were mainly responsible for the demise of golden
era of Buddism.
So go and read some real history (not the Paki or Indian kind) for a
change before you venture to open your idiotic blabber again.....
Being a Shia soon you will be labled a RAW agent along with Mushy and
long gone Jinnah.
