Buddhism was ditched for Brahminsm .
Having disappointed with Buddhist Mahayani love for Videshi Brahmins, converted Hinyani Buddhist returned back to their old and original religion Hindu Dharm . Thus Buddhism was ditched for Brahminsm .
HINYAN of Buddhism under Asoka’s and Kanishka patronage spread far beyond boundaries of India and it remains to this day a dominant and cultural influence in countries Shri Lanka; Myanmar; Thailand. The Mahayana spread to North Tibet; Magnolia; China; Japan; Korea. The disappearance of Buddhism from the land of its birth, a gradual process that extended from the latter part of the 1st millennium AD until about 1200-1300 AD, is a phenomenon that has been commented upon quite often. Another part of this story is surely the revival of Buddhism, a reawakening with which the name of B. R. Ambedkar is indelibly linked. Indeed, the story of modern-day Indian Buddhism generally commences with Ambedkar’s conversion to Buddhism in 1956, a mere couple of months before his death. By the early 1990s, there were an estimated 7 - 10 million Buddhists in India, the bulk of them in the western state of Maharashtra. Other established schools of Buddhist thought, like vipassana meditation and Tibetan Buddhism, are finding a newly receptive audience India as well. “These new Buddhists don't convert officially; they simply take up some form of the practice, usually chanting or meditation, and often continue to observe the same holidays and family rituals they always did. That's another part of Buddhism's appeal in India, Sarao says. In a country where so much of social life revolves around religious festivals and ceremonies, Indians can enjoy the philosophical satisfactions of Buddhism without having to give up the faith they were born into. "They do not feel they're being disloyal to Hinduism in any way," he says.
Hindu Dharm is the mother of all Indian religions like Jainism , Buddhism , Sikhism , Lingayat etc etc.
