With the recent rise of Right Wing BJP and the religious politics in India, it has made me curious on how an Buddhist Indian Subcontinent(India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and Maldives) be?

Lets assume that at some point most of India converts to Buddhism

How would the culture of India be ?, What would happen to most of South Asian Culture, What will happen to Hinduism, will Hindu Pantheon be absorbed Into Buddhism

And Assuming History of the Subcontinent goes the Same such as the Turkic and British conquest and an Independent United India, how would an Buddhist India look Like?

Will Turks Adopt Buddhism due to the presence of India instead of Islam

Will the caste system persist?

Subcontinent Must Atleast have 80+ Percentage of Buddhists by 2017
 
As we've told you before, the question in your poll is unanswerable.

Anyways, "will Turks Adopt Buddhism due to the presence of India instead of Islam" -- no. They were Muslims before entering India, and from a Muslim perspective there isn't much differentiating Buddhism from Hinduism.
 
Buddhist India would need hellish early POD, at least something before Muslim conquest and probably even earlier one. This would make history very unrecognsible and butterfly most of OTL history. Might be that India is not even colonised by anyone. It wasn't inevitable event and probably any colonialist England/Britain would be butterflied.

So answer of poll is impossible to answer. With such POD anyone can write any kind of TL what wants.

If India was Buddhist , then chances are central Asia has higher levels of Buddhism , it's entirely possible that turks are Buddhists

How can a pod in India affect Europe
Also, a successful Mauryan empire might result in Buddhist India
