Altai Republic is in Southern Siberia, geographically Central Asia, but culturally European, since it is a part of Russia. Funny enough, Altai Republic does not even host a Buddhist minority, it is around 62% Orthodox Christian, 5% Other Christians, and rest of the population is Atheist. Kalmykia is the only "Buddhist" region in Russia and Europe, where Buddhists consist of 47% of the population, not even the majority, but yes very impressive for Europe. This happened because of Mongols emigrating to the specific place around 1600s. However they had more land and more people were Buddhist in the area, they later converted to Christianity or became Atheist. The Buddhists left in the area live in Kalmykia.
Well, Kalmykia is near to Caucasian Mountains, but it more belongs to Povolzhye, then to Caucasia, in some sense. I hope, you will can to understand me(

Buddhism arose as a protest to the ritualistic Hinduism, where the priests held control over people. While the people were fed up of the priestly control, came Buddha, a fresh breeze, which swept away the previous frustration! 'Desire is the cause of all sufferings' is not Buddha's original. That idea has been in India long before Buddha. The original philosophic contribution of Buddha is that he concluded that objects animate and inanimate keep changing every second! It is not correct to call Buddhism a faith. There is no belief system in Buddhism or Jainism or for that matter in Hinduism, just as they have in Christianity or Islam. The idea is to emulate Buddha, and seek the ultimate truth as he did. In that sense Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism are seeking religions which adhere to Dharma! So Hindus, Buddhists and Jains are called seekers, not believers and these religions are called Dharmic religions! In fact the decline of Buddhism started because, there was not another Buddha to lead the people and Buddhists ended up doing what Buddha forbade them to do- worshiping another God, Buddha! They started preserving the bones and teeth of Buddha and held them in reverence. In fact Dharmic religions do not give importance to the body, which came from the earth and will return to the earth! It is the soul which takes another body in another life and is given importance. Today many rituals are conducted around this body parts and it is ironic that Buddhism arose as a revolt against ritualistic practices! It would not be wrong to say that Buddhism is Hinduism minus the rituals and the plethora of Gods! Buddhist practices such as yoga, meditation, martial arts etc were in existence before Buddha. This comment is not with the idea of hurting anyone, only to keep the record straight. Thank you.

Hinduism began to reemerge later on when Buddhism was everywhere in east Asia. Two were pretty similar and even interchangeable in India back then so there was an understandable transition

Buddism was a woke urban religion, and it disappeared in India because of Brahmin led Hindu backlash. Buddism had to move under heavy persecution to Gandhara in Pakistan, and Gandharans spread Buddism to Central Asia and East Asia. Afghanistan was part of Gandhara, but it was mostly in Pakistan and was a South Asia society. Iranic Afghan people came to the region later Eventually, Hindu oppression against Buddhists spread to Pakistan, and Buddism was increasingly suppressed. Buddhists collaborated with Muslims to drive out the Hindu rulers, and readily converted to Islam. That is why regions in India that had Buddist population are mostly Muslim today

@@S.C08 yes, because everyone has their own buddha inside
Buddhism arose as a protest to the ritualistic Hinduism, where the priests held control over people. While the people were fed up of the priestly control, came Buddha, a fresh breeze, which swept away the previous frustration! 'Desire is the cause of all sufferings' is not Buddha's original. That idea has been in India long before Buddha. The original philosophic contribution of Buddha is that he concluded that objects animate and inanimate keep changing every second!
It is not correct to call Buddhism a faith. There is no belief system in Buddhism or Jainism or for that matter in Hinduism, just as they have in Christianity or Islam. The idea is to emulate Buddha, and seek the ultimate truth as he did. In that sense Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism are seeking religions which adhere to Dharma! So Hindus, Buddhists and Jains are called seekers, not believers and these religions are called Dharmic religions!
In fact the decline of Buddhism started because, there was not another Buddha to lead the people and Buddhists ended up doing what Buddha forbade them to do- worshiping another God, Buddha! They started preserving the bones and teeth of Buddha and held them in reverence. In fact Dharmic religions do not give importance to the body, which came from the earth and will return to the earth! It is the soul which takes another body in another life and is given importance. Today many rituals are conducted around this body parts and it is ironic that Buddhism arose as a revolt against ritualistic practices!
It would not be wrong to say that Buddhism is Hinduism minus the rituals and the plethora of Gods! Buddhist practices such as yoga, meditation, martial arts etc were in existence before Buddha.
This comment is not with the idea of hurting anyone, only to keep the record straight. Thank you.
Copying greek Gods & rise of Tantrik Buddism r the Main Reasons for down fall of Buddism in India, no doubt why jains r still here but Buddism just completely extincts, more interesting fact is that Gandhar, Taxila (peshevar), kashmir, sindh, Pali Empire(Bengal & bangladesh) all these regions were buddhist dominated in past before Islamic Invasions of South Asia but r now Muslim Majority, A Clear Proof that they were buddhist who converted most to ISLAM not Hindus, Jains & sikh

Wait Buddhists worship Buddha? Don't they just venerate him like Christians do with saints?
@@imerror6224 yes they do not worship him, or at least they agree that they shouldn't. However, buddhists during those times ended up doing just the same, and many hindus even to this day consider buddha to be another avatar of the main trinity. I think, if buddha or buddhists would have formed some sort of lineage of gurus like the sikhs, or the shias or Baha'is, etc. They would have been able to preserve the original concept on which buddhism was founded. Today, all buddhists do, or at least aim to do is imitate buddha, instead of applying his "principles & teachings" of "morality & mortality" to the real world.

Buddism was a woke urban religion, and it disappeared in India because of Brahmin led Hindu backlash. Buddism had to move under heavy persecution to Gandhara in Pakistan, and Gandharans spread Buddism to Central Asia and East Asia. Afghanistan was part of Gandhara, but it was mostly in Pakistan and was a South Asia society. Iranic Afghan people came to the region later
Eventually, Hindu oppression against Buddhists spread to Pakistan, and Buddism was increasingly suppressed. Buddhists collaborated with Muslims to drive out the Hindu rulers, and readily converted to Islam. That is why regions in India that had Buddist population are mostly Muslim today

Mongol Empire was Buddhist?
It was a widespread religion among the Mongols, coexisting with other traditional religions.
The Mongol Empire was pretty tolerant towards religious minorities. They really didn’t care what your ethnicity, culture, language, or religion was. All they cared about was if you payed your taxes on time and didn’t rebel.
So because the Mongols came from regions with Buddhist populations. Those populations followed the Mongols on their conquests. But following the collapse many of them eventually converted away to local religions.

Could you please do the same with three colors for the hindouism, the bouddhism and the islam? Thank you.
India and Bangladesh forgot their Buddhist past.
India definitely hasn’t. Buddha is an avatar of Vishnu even in Hinduism. The 9th avatar I believe...
@@SuperTechno2012 if you believe in buddha then stop following the cast system he is the first person who against it.from sl buddhist
@@Kamal-ju6qx Learn about the caste system and how it was corrupted. How dare you think that I follow the current form of the caste system!? The original cast system was a mobile system where each did according to his/her merit. You are a Buddhist, I expected you to know more about our shared past... Buddha is the 9th Avatar of Vishnu in Hinduism.
@@Kamal-ju6qx Siddharth gautam was hindu , Buddhism was an path like many existing paths not religion when started in India.
@RS Tomar is it that hard.lol we are live in 21st century but some still living like it's 14th century
hi im mongolian! mongolians are buddhist nation! first mongolian state Xiongnu (209 BC-93 AD) was buddhist state! 2nd mongolian state xiangbei state 93-234 was buddhist! 3rd mongolian state Rouran khanate (330 AD-555 AD) was buddhist! 4th state gokturk (6th to 8th century) was buddhist! 5th state Uyghur Khaganate 744-840 was buddhist ! 6th state khitan (907-1125) was buddhists! after that chingghis khaan s era and his descents buddhist histories you would find!
Dominant faiths among the Mongols during the earliest dynasties were Tengrism and Shamanism
@@CostasMelas yeah but state official religion was buddhism! and dont use word dynasty to mongol states! mongol states called khanates! not dynasties ! dynasty is for chinese ( sinic civilization) states!
Great job with this!
Thank you
Relationship of two ancient and great civilization is Buddhism
Hindu and Buddhist are so similar
China: no, This isn't how you're supposed to play the game
China has lots of rivers, I just noticed! 😄
can anybody explain why Buddhism disappered in India and replaced by Hindusm?Like Hindusm divided people to four caste,i really don't understand why people like to follow this religion,because your destiny already settled due to your birth....
There were some militant hindu opposition to buddhism like brahmin kings like pushyamitra who aggressively persecuted buddhists and destroyed buddhist monasteries and converted to hindu temples. We can still see buddha statues with head chopped off in many previous buddhist majority areas in india.
@@alangervasis i see,similar to islamism,join us or you die,no other options,that's why buddism disappered in south and west asia;Even buddism now still exist in east and sothern asia,it never became a role which could unified the politics and religon,not like Islam and Christian,why they can survice,just because these two religions don't spread to that area
@@presundryer Buddhism too has a fair share of blood on its hand. Don't act like an innocent. Buddhist kings too killed hindus and ajivikas in mass slaughter. Colonial japan were notorious for atrocities committed in the name of spreading dharma in asia. Mahayana buddhism has even a sword verse to kill icchantikas.
