It may give some light to the Ariyan-Hindu invasion and to the stories of 
hundreds of the Buddhist statues, Stupas and Viharas were destroyed in India 
between 830 AD and 966 AD in the name of the revival of Hinduism. Indigenous 
and foreign sources, both literary and archaeological, speak volumes of the 
havoc done to Buddhism by the Nazis in India. 



Role of Sankaracharya:
Nazi leaders like the Sankaracharyas and many kings and rulers took pride in 
demolishing the Buddhist images aiming at the total eradication of the Buddhist 
culture. Today, their descendants destroyed the Babri Masjid and they have also 
published a list of mosques to be destroyed in the near future. It is with this 
sin of pride that they are condemning the deed on the part of the Afghans. 

The Hindu ruler, Pushyamitra Sunga, demolished 84,000 Budhist stupas which had 
been built by Ashoka the Great (Romila Thaper, Ashoka and Decline of Mouryas, 
London, 1961, p 200). It was followed by the smashing of the Buddhist centres 
in Magadha. Thousands of Budhist monks were mercilessly killed. King Jalaluka 
destroyed the Budhist viharas within his jurisdiction on the ground that the 
chanting of the hymns by the Buddhist devotees disturbed his sleep. (Kalhana, 
Rajatharangini, 1:40). In Kashmir, King Kinnara demolished thousands of Viharas 
and captured the Budhists villages to please the Brahmins. (Kalhana 1:80). 



Demon's role: 
A large number of Buddhist viharas were usurped by the Brahmins and converted 
into Hindu temples where the Untouchables were given no entrance. The Buddhist 
places were projected as the Hindu temples by writing puranas which were 
concocted myths or pseudo-history. 

The important temples found at Tirupati, Ahoble, Undavalli, Ellora, Bengal, 
Puri, Badrinath, Mathura, Ayodhya, Sringeri, Bodhgaya, Sarnath, Delhi, Nalanda, 
Gudiallam, Nagarjuna Konda, Srisailam and Sabarimala (Lord Ayyappa) in Kerala 
are some of the striking examples of the Brahmanic usurpation of the Buddhist 
centres. 

At Nagarjunakonda, the Adi Sankara played a demon's role in destroying the 
Buddhist statues and monuments. Longhurst who conducted excavations at 
Nagarjunakonda has recorded this in his book Memoirs of the Archaelogical 
Survey of India No: 54, The Budhist Antiquties of Nagarjunakonda (Delhi, 1938, 
p.6.). 



Non-Brahmins burnt alive: 
The ruthless manner in which all the buildings at Nagarjunakonda were destroyed 
is simply appalling and cannot represent the work of treasure-seekers because 
many of the pillars, statues and sculptures have been wantonly smashed to 
pieces. Local tradition relates that the Brahmin teacher Sankaracharya came to 
Nagarjunakonda with a host of followers and destroyed the Budhist monuments. 
The cultivated lands on which the ruined buildings stand was a religious grant 
made to Sankaracharya. 

In Kerala, Sankaracharya and his close associate Kumarila Bhatta, an avowed 
enemy of Budhism, organised a religious crusade against the Buddhists. We get a 
vivid description of the pleasure of Sankaracharya on seeing the people of 
non-Brahmanic faith being burnt to death from the book Sankara Digvijaya. 



Havoc played in Kerala: 
Kumarila instigated king Suddhavanan of Ujjaini to exterminate the Buddhists. 
From the Mirchakatika of Sudraka we learn that the king's brother-in-law in 
Ujjain persecuted the Budhist monks. They were treated as bullocks by passing a 
string through their noses and yoking them to carts. The Keralopathi documents 
refer to the extermination of Buddhism from Kerala by Kumarila. About the 
activities of Sankara, Swami Vivekananda observe: 

"And such was the heart of Sankara that he burnt to death lots of the Buddhist 
monks by defeating them in argument. What can you call such an action on 
Sankara's part except fanaticism." (Complete works of Swami Vivekananda, 
Vol.VII. p. 118, Calcutta, 1997). 



Kerala's Buddhist history: 
There are hundreds of places in Kerala having the names like palli either 
affixed or suffixed with them. Karungapalli, Karthikapalli, Pallickal, 
Pallippuram are some of the examples of these places. The term palli means a 
Budhist vihara. 

It should be noted that Kerala had 1,200 years of Buddhist tradition.Till 
recently schools in Kerala had been called as Ezhuthupalli or Pallikoodam. Our 
Christian and Muslim brothers use the term palli to denote their place of 
worship. The pallies were wantonly smashed by the Hindu Nazis under the 
leadership of Sankara and Kumarila. 

They exterminated 1,200 years of Buddhist tradition and transformed Kerala into 
a Brahminical State.Original inhabitants of Kerala like the Ezhavas, Pulayas 
etc. were crushed under the yoke of casteism. Many viharas were transformed 
into temples and the majority of the people were prevented from entering the 
temples under the pretext of caste inhibitions. 



Role of Parasurama:
It can also be noted that the name of Kerala is the sanskritised Aryan version 
of the Dravidian and Budhist term cherala. The Parasurama legend regarding the 
origin of Kerala says that the land of Kerala was raised from the sea by 
Parasurama by throwing an axe from Gokarna to Kanyakumari. This is a @#%$ and 
bull story created by the Brahmins to hide all crimes against the Buddhists. 

A number of the Buddha statues have been found at places like Ambalapuzha, 
Karungapalli, Pallickal, Bharanikkavu, Mavelikkara and Neelamperur. They are 
all in a disfigured state. 

Lord Ayyappa at Sabarimala and Lord Padmanabha at Thiruvananthapuram are the 
proxy images of the Buddha being worshipped as Vishnu. 

Hundreds of Buddhists were killed on the banks of the river at Aluva in Kerala. 
The term Aluva is derived from Alavi which means Trisul, a weapon used by the 
Hindu Nazis to stab the Buddhists. Similarly on the banks of the Vaiga river in 
Tamil Ndu thousands of the Buddhists were killed by the Saiva saint Sambanthar. 
The Tamil books Thevaram documents this brutal extermination of Buddhism. 



Historians hiding facts: 
This is what really happened in India, the land of the Buddha. But our 
so-called eminent historians are bent upon hiding the cruelty inflicted on the 
Budhists in India. These "historians" have succeeded in creating an impression 
that India is a land of non-violence and tolerance. The entire world has been 
duped by them. 

The deed on the part of Taliban is justifiable on the ground that Islam does 
not permit idols. At the same time, one has to note that Islam does not allow 
the deomolition of other people's religious centres and images. Whatever may be 
the argument for and against the Taliban action, the Hindu atrocities on 
Buddhism in India has no parallel in the entire history of religious struggles. 
Let the world know the cruel and crooked face of "Indian vulture, no culture".



"Do not judge me by my actions;

Do not judge me from man's point of view"

"Judge me from God's - by the hidden purpose behind my actions.
Regi George wishing you Good Luck. Thanks
