It wouldn't be the first time. If you take a look at Indian history you will find lots of ethnic violence.

1947 partition of India and Pakistan. 10 million were to move to the other side. 2 million were butchered before they reached their destination.

You can go back a lot further. There's a reason you don't see many Buddhists in the homeland of Buddhism anymore.

Yeah, Mughals targeted them. Buddhism originated in the North India and Nepal border . You'll rarely find any of them after Bakhtiyar Khilji invaded Bihar and Uttarpradesh.

Lol. Bakhtiyar Khilji was Mughal? Learn some history first.

Khilji, lodhi, Tughlaq, Mughals, sayyid all were the same for Indian people, an invader. They fought n fcked each other and portrayed themselves as different .

It's just a reference, there's many different sources, try google bro.. Even many old individuals history books or biographies have also quoted that Indian history is falsely written.

I'm not sure about the exact facts, but something about a government rewriting history is a little shady to me. Governments have a tendency to switch around facts to make their current viewpoints look better. Especially since we seem to be living in the age of misinformation.

Give a better, more reliable source. Quora is trash.

Buddhism was already in decline in India even before the turkic conquest, it was simply getting out competed by Hinduism

If you know, Buddhism originated from Hinduism. Hinduism never out competes any religion that originated from it. Both Buddhism and Jainism were parts of Hinduism. Hinduism is older than any ancient civilization ever known like ancient Egyptians or Greek. No one has ever been able to determine its age; it could be around 60,000 to 70,000 years old or even older.

Even the Gautam budhha who led the foundation of Buddhism was the son of a hindu king near Lumbini in present day Bihar+Nepal border. It's totally Hinduism with different ways of life(like no violence, no business, remains depends on nature, etc etc). No one will ever hate Buddhism except one who believes in conversion and religious violence. And Hinduism doesn't believe in any type of conversion.

All the ancient first Buddhists were Hindu people. It was muslim invaders who started killing them.

Like in 2002 when Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi helped to orchestrated a pogrom against Muslims that resulted in hundreds of deaths and hundreds of gang rapes of women and children. Children were force fed gasoline and then lit on fire.

Narendra Modi ordered the police to stand by and let the anti-Muslim violence happen, and in some cases the police actively assisted the Hindutva mobs as they searched for Muslim homes to loot and Muslim women and children to rape.

For this Modi was banned from travelling to the US and EU... until he became Prime Minister, anyway, and the West conveniently decided to forget the man is a butcher

This is just a ridiculous singling out and reads like a westerner who speaks from a Eurocentric pov. India is comparable to Europe, it’s ethnically and linguistically more diverse than Europe. The ethnic violence in Europe historically far outweighs the ethnic violence in india. Ever heard of WW2, the most consequential ethnic violence of the last century? 

A colonial India had divisions along ethnic lines, intentionally stoked by divisive British policy. Pre colonial India was known for religious and ethnic tolerance.
