But the throne was usurped by a Brahmin who established his own dynasty which naturally supported the Brahmnic religion at the time of the invasion of Sind by Ibne Kassim in 712 A.D.

The ruler of Sind was Dahir.

This Dahir belonged to the dynasty of Brahmin rulers.

Heuen Tsang had noticed that the Punjab was in his time ruled by a
Kshatriya Buddhist dynasty.

This dynasty ruled Punjab till about 880 A.D.

In that year the throne was usurped by a Brahmin army commander by name Lalliya who founded the Brahmin Shahi dynasty.

As to the conversion to the faith of Islam by the Buddhist population as a cause of the fall of Buddhism☸, there can hardly be much doubt.

In his Presidential address to the early Medieval and Rajput section of the Indian History Congress held at Allahabad in 1938,

Prof. Surendra Nath Sen very rightly observed that there were two problems relating to the Medieval History of India for which no satisfactory answers were forthcoming as yet.

He mentiond two:

1️⃣one connected with the origin of the Rajputs and the
2️⃣ other to the distribution of the Muslim population in India.

Referring to the second, he said:

The Muslim invasions of India commenced in the year 1001 A.D.

The last wave of these invasions reached Southern India in 1296
A.D. when Allauddin Khilji subjugated the Kingdom of Devagiri.

The Muslim conquest of India was really not completed by 1296.

The wars of subjugation went on between the Muslim conquerors and the local rulers who though defeated were not reduced.

But the point which requires to bear in mind is that during this period of 300 years of Muslim Wars of conquests, India was governed all over by princes

who professed the orthodox faith of Bramhanism.

Bramhanism beaten and battered by the Muslim Invaders could look to the rulers for support and sustenance and did get it.

Buddhism beaten and battered by the Muslim invaders had no such hope.

Bodhisattva Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar on Democracy☸💙🪷🧘‍♀️📿
Jai Bhim Namo Buddhay☸💙🪷🧘‍♀️📿

"Some equate Democracy with equality and liberty.

Equality and liberty are no doubt the deepest concern of Democracy.

But the more important question is what sustains equality and liberty?

Some would say that it is the law of the state which sustains equality and liberty. This is not a true answer.

What sustains equality and liberty is fellow-felling.

What the French Revolutionists called fraternity.

The word fraternity is not an adequate expression.

The proper term is what the Buddha called, Maitree.

Without Fraternity Liberty would destroy Equality and Equality would destroy Liberty.

POLITICAL REFORM MUST PRECEDE SOCIAL REFORM: Bodhisattva Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar (1932)☸💙🧘‍♀️📿

By establishing Bahujan Samaj Party i.e. BSP🐘🇮🇳 as the third front in Indian Politics, Manywar and Behenji have very well brought Babasaheb's dream mission forward.

1/11

It was well advised by Babasaheb (1948) that, “Political power is the key to all social progress...", so BSP is not just a political movement but it is actually a Mission to transform the society at every levels.

Manyawar on several occasions had pointed out Babasaheb's message that Political Power is the key for Social-transformation.

He said:
“Only ruling class can form a new Social Order”

So, empowering BSP in mainstream politics is the key to our social transformation.
