  • In the remark I have cited above, Sh Sanghvi makes two distinct points:

    1. Hindu kings destroyed Buddhist monasteries (as a consequence)
    2. …throwing Buddhism out of India (more or less)

    I will address the first point in this post and the next point in the concluding part. So let’s examine the basis for asserting that “Hindu kings” destroyed Buddhist monasteries.

  • The Buddhism of Magadha was finally swept away by the Muhammadan invasion under Bakhtiyar Khilji, In 1197 the capital, Bihar, was seized by a small party of two hundred horsemen, who rushed the postern gate, and sacked the town.
