imagine how unchaotic these will be if they didn’t convert to islam or at the very least sunnism
And yet, Buddhists are barely seen in india.
was nepal part of india at that time?
Truth is language spread this way to Europe as well. That’s why we can’t find a shred of the so-called PIE (proto-indo-european) language – doesn’t exist.
Why aren’t the area of Europe with a Buddhist majority listed here? What about Siberia?
Thought this was a cursed greater india map
Kalmykia is always forgoten
And yet Buddhism isn’t prevalent in modern day India or Nepal
Greetings to all practitioners of the dhamma. ☸️
this map is wrong. Ajanta and Ellora were not regions with a Buddhist majority. The Ajanta caves were patronized by the Vakatakas, who were followers of Shaivism, and the Kailasa temple at Ellora was built by the Rashtrakutas, who were also Shaivites. Buddhism was never a folk religion. It functioned primarily as a monastic tradition, sustained by royal and mercantile patronage. The same elites who supported Buddhist institutions also patronized sites dedicated to Shiva and Vishnu.
What about Afghanistan, Persia, Greece, Egypt?
Indonesia was home to the world’s most influential Buddhist maritime empire (Srivijaya) and possesses the largest Buddhist monument (Borobudur); while geographically distant from the religion’s origins in India, these sites established Indonesia as a primary heartland of Buddhist scholarship and power for centuries.
idk my home is once a budhdhist place?
Where is Ladakh (India) on today’s Buddhist world? And Kalmykia, in Russia?
