DISAPPEARANCE OF BUDDHISM FROM INDIA:THE BRAHMIN RESPONSIBILITY
Due to the lack of
historical and archeological evidence, there is no absoluteconsensus till date on what led to the disappearance of
Buddhism from India.However, if we analyze all
the contributing factors and arrange them in achronological order, we would realize that the whole
sequence of events wasinitiated by the Buddhist
monks when they had abandoned the community visitsand concentrated on their own salvation instead of helping
the common peopleand oppressed classes to end
their sufferings. As the lay devotees were ignored,Buddhism started losing the general support from the
community. Subsequently,the Brahmins took advantage of
this situation and deepened the rift between thecommon people and the Buddhist practitioners. They also
manipulated thecontemporary rulers to
withdraw their support from Buddhism and help inreviving the existing Brahmanism. This was followed by the
revival of Hinduismand further decline of
Buddhism

How Adi Shankara destroyed Buddhism and founded ‘Hinduism’ in the 8th century
Why did Buddhism disappear from Bharat?
Jainism was in full swing in India prior to Hinduism. All royal people were influenced by Jain monks and there speech on ruthless Hindu Kshatriya or warrior dharma/religion of protection & offense. They highlighted the path of peace and salvation that could only be attained by Jainism.
The Brahmins performed a great Puja and earnestly prayed Lord Shiva to stop the progress of Jainism. According to aggressive Hindu beliefs Adi Shankaracharya was born. Regarding Shankaracharya it is said in at least one case he was not able to answer questions placed by a married woman regarding sex and he was not aware of sexual behaviors because being a Brahmin he was performing vrat of Brahmcharya where a person is supposed to fight back any sexual thoughts arising in mind. Hence his knowledge regarding sex was either zero or in infancy or very less as compared to sex indulged people of his age. http://rupeenews.com/2010/10/how-adi-shankara-destroyed-buddhism-and-founded-hinduism-in-the-8th-century/
