We keep hearing about India’s and Hindu’s peaceful history. But if India’s poor treatment of Buddhism is anything to go by, we’re no better than any others. Guess we were lucky to have Gandhi and a non-overthrowable British Government. Otherwise, we’d have gone to war as well.
Indias poor treatment of Buddhism
I question the narrative of India’s peaceful history by looking at its poor treatment of Buddhism. I argue that without Gandhi or the British government, we might have been just as prone to war as others.
