Does anyone know any books about Mughals that talk about their effect on Buddhism
kkdkckrl
^^ Is that a joke? Atleast I hope you are not talking about philosophical effect?

Buddhism was annihalated before the advent of mughals i believe.

What kind of effect did they have on Buddhism? I had a look on Wikipedia (never to be considered a reliable source mind you) and the article on the Mughal Empire didn't mention Buddhism. confused.gif

Sorry, I don't know about any books, this is new news to me.

Mughals having an affect on buddhism is a joke laugh.gif . The appropriate one would be how did buddhism influence mughals' islam.

Even then its stupid as buddhism was almost non-existant in india by then. You can't influence something that doesn't exist.

Mughals were a barbaric group of people who don't deserve any respect.

Will Durant: "the Mohammedan conquest of India was probably the bloodiest story in history"

Hindu Holocaust
"The massacres perpetuated by Muslims in India are unparalleled in history, bigger than the Holocaust of the Jews by the Nazis; or the massacre of the Armenians by the Turks; more extensive even than the slaughter of the South American native populations by the invading Spanish and Portuguese.""

lilbuggy do not drag religion into this, mughals were bad people but blaming a whole faith group isnt mature.

I still don't see any actual effect the Mughals had on Buddhism, just Muslim monuments built out of Hindu and Buddhist temples.
