So you are agreeing with Abir that Buddhism was 'absorbed' back into Hinduism. Whatever you want to call it...

You seemed to apportion the blame exclusively to Muslims for the decline of Buddhism in India.

Ahem I blamed the Islamic Invaders for the destruction of Buddhist (and Jain ) sites and persecution of Buddhists (and Jains) (something which you can't disprove).

You were somehow suggesting that there were Dharmic crusades and those poor Buddhists were eradicated by Hindus :rolleyes:

Nobody's denying that some Muslim rulers persecuted other religions and destroyed monuments. This was the norm back then. Good, we agree.

:tup:
It's the norm today too. (your country is a living example)

You guys don't just agree, you're proud of it infact ! Go fire those Ghanzis and Ghauris ! :agree:

The point is that there were precious few Buddhists left to persecute in the land of its birth. They had almost all been 'absorbed' back into Hinduism.

Let's not start with comparing persecution in modern times. There are enough threads detailing India's sorry record in that respect also.

You cannot blame people for adhering to the norm in their times. There are plenty of negative aspects to many famous and revered personalities of other religions, including Hinduism, but I don't want to go there.

It serves no purpose to bring up ghosts from the past.

False facts corrected:

1.) Its BS thread china have not offered US$ 1 billion but US$ 100 million only. :bunny:

The Telegraph - Calcutta (Kolkata) | Nation | China 450cr for Nalanda

2.) The plan to revive the ancient Nalanda University is a brainchild of former President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. A $1-billion (Rs 4,500-crore) plan was drawn in 2006 to set up the Nalanda International University.


3.) Out of US$ 1 billion project of reviving Nalanda University Govt. of India is contributing majority of amount. :cheers:

4.) But some countries like Singapore, China and Japan are also come forward to make some contribution out of gratitude towards Buddhism and India.

Because they feels that Buddhism have benefited their countries and people and they must show some mark of respect towards its center of exilanse.

5.) India have not asked them but they have them self came forward out of respect for this project.

6.) Pakistanis are feeling jealous about it. :wave:

Its an international cultural cooperation project to build a historical place one of your heroes destroyed. India has recently built a buddhist stupa outside the historic white horse temple too, thats in China, but all those idiotic things you said do not apply to china now do they? Stop being so servile to your latest master.

White Horse Temple - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Read some history and the background and the cultural exchange between the two civilizations to understand the importance of the university. All your heroes need not be murderers and destroyers and arsonists, and all the source of your knowledge need not be zaid hamid.

BTW the 1 billion amt seems to be incorrectly reported.

Thanks for the post 'Fateh'.

Few people will search google, find something anti India out of that search, twist the facts and then vomit here to vent off their nausea. Please do not tip them to do some studies, their ignorance and nit pick is our bliss. You know what i mean.

Question for Mods. Do we have a rule for acting against a poster who post offtopic in every thread. AJTR is doing this in every thread. If there is a rule request it should be followed.

Even india has built a monument in china in 2005,
Hafizz do think its also called AID that India gave to china....?

But we call it cultural exchange


The symbolic importance of the temple to the ancient cultural relations between China and India was demonstrated when the Prime Minister of India P.V. Narasimha Rao visited the temple in 1993. A decade later, in 2003, Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee also visited the shrine.[28]

To enhance the Buddhist cultural links between India and China, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed on 11 April 2005 under which it was agreed that India would build an Indian Style Buddhist temple to the west side of the White Horse Temple in the International Garden of the complex. Under this agreement, India was to provide the architectural design, material for construction, the Buddha statue, landscaping and technical advice of architects and experts during construction. Chinese authorities were to allot land area of 2,666.67 square metres (28,703.8 sq ft) for building the temple.[29]

Following the MOU signed by India and China in 2005, a Buddhist shrine that is a close replica of Sanchi Stupa has been completed in 2008 within the precincts of the White Horse Temple, the first Buddhist temple in China that was also inspired by Buddhist saints from India in the first century AD. The architectural features of the new temple have closely recreated the Sanchi Stupa, including the east gate at Sanchi. An image of Buddha has also been transported from India and deified in the new temple, which conforms to the Indian Buddhist tradition. The temple has been built over a land area donated by the Chinese Government. The shrine is a two-storied structure with circular walls on both floors. The circular walls inside the temple have been embellished with murals of scenes from the Jataka tales and the life of Buddha. The Buddha statue made in the pattern of the 5th century image of Buddha at Sarnath has been deified in the central congressional hall of the temple. The President of India, Pratibha Patil, inaugurated this temple on 27 May 2010.[30] The new temple incorporates features from the most revered Indian Buddhist shrines of Sanchi and Saranath.
