Relações históricas entre o budismo e o hinduísmo no subcontinente indiano.

Hinduism and Buddhism share a series of elements, such as its genesis in the Indian subcontinent, common principles, iconographical expressions and even certain deities. While Buddhism declined in India and became a universal religion strongly present in several countries, Hinduism continued to flourish in its land of origin. This article synthesizes the historical relations between Buddhism and Hinduism in the Indian subcontinent, seeking to understand how similarities and tensions, from the 5th century BCE to the present day, shaped and shape both religions.
