All,
In past I remember reading on this forum a discussion on the role of Hindus in bringing about Buddhist decline in India (destroying stupas, slaying monks etc). There are some scholars who have been trying to popularize this theory and its been picked up by 'pro dalit' groups as another stick to beat Hindus with.
I cant seem to find that discussion, I was wondering if the anyone could point to some links/research on the web or to a relevant discussion on the forum.
TIA
