Answer 4

Good question, you need to read some history to get a good answer.  Basically, Buddhism is the most peaceful and non-confrontational of all religions, and so it has not fared well when confronted by other "faiths."  Forms of Buddhism are still prevalent in Southeast Asia (Thailand etc.).

Hinduism pre-dated Buddhism in India; the Buddha was raised in Hindu culture.  Kindof like the way Jesus was raised in a Jewish culture.
