<!--QuoteBegin-G.Subramaniam+Feb 23 2009, 07:45 AM-->QUOTE(G.Subramaniam @ Feb 23 2009, 07:45 AM)<!--QuoteEBegin-->Many hindus foolishly have a soft spot for buddhism
The fact is that buddhists despise us
In 1937, the partition of Myanmar from India was done by the agitation of buddhist monks
In buddhist thailand, they hate Indians and kiss ass of chinese
In post independence Myanmar, 6 million tamil hindus have been forced to declare
themselves as buddhists
The Buddhists of Bhutan have expelled their hindu population
The tibetan buddhists prior to the chinese invasion of 1950, were trying to get back ladakh and arunachal pradesh
In the west, buddhists do everything to disavow their hindu roots
I also seriously question whether dalits were ever buddhists
IMHO, untouchability began with buddhism

This are not cases of neo-buddhism(western academic type of buddhism) and nationalistic buddhism(one nation=one religion+one language like in Europe)?
I read that dalit caste(or non-caste?) apear in the 9 century in south India;buddhist influence?
Buddhism was an intelectual movement in the urban India,spreading in Asia it didnt have any intelectual alternative.Not even in China,taoism and confucianim was more about having a good material life and not about the eternal fate of the soul(self).So buddhism mixed easely there .In India, the intelectual brahmins and ascetics have alternative ideas for Buddha's ideas regarding the eternal fate of the soul(self).For some reason they prefered the rural and forest places.In time, intelectuals(including buddhists) renounce the ideea of non-Brahman propagated by Buddha and become advaitins(smartas).
Thats why buddhism is an oversised hindu sect.
