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
