Why so few Buddhists in India?

Asked by AstroChuck (37609points) August 17th, 2008 from iPhone

Buddhism, Sikhism, and Jainism combined are practiced by fewer than 3% of the population in India. All three originated there. So why so few? There are approximately 376 million Buddhists in the Earth. That’s about 6% of the world population. But why so few in the country where it began?
