| Research Abstract |
The issue of the decline of Buddhism in India has baffled not only many of the Buddhist scholars, but also other historians who have been interested in this theme. Still now, this subject has largely ignores by scholars and as a result has remained inadequately researched. One of major reason is the paucity of epigraphic materials and the silence of indigenous literature. I have tried to change this situation by innovating new approaches and made a research circle for this issue.
