Why were several foreign kings in India more likely to convert to Buddhism than to Hinduism?

a. Buddhism was a more optimistic religion


b. hte philosophy of Buddhism is easier to understand


c. Hinduism does not allow new converts


d. Hinduism had no easy mechanism for working foreigners into its system of class and caste





please %26amp; thank you! :)


this is exactly how the teacher wrote it, she might have made some typos (like in B), just saying.|||I think D is the most likely. Not a or b, because the two religions are very similar in content. Not c, because Hinduism does allow converts. So I would choose d, not just by elimination, but because Buddhism is more successful than Hinduism in gaining converts worldwide.|||ITS A GREAT EXAMPLE FOR THE INDIAN "UNITY IN DIVERSITY"!





BUDDHISM HAS ITS ROOT IN HINDUISM, BUDDHA USED MANY ASPECTS OF HINDUISM LIKE DHARMA, THE CYCLE OF BRITH-DEATH-REBIRTH ETC





ON THE OTHER SIDE BUDDHA IS SEEN AS ONE OF LORD VISHNUS AVATARS.|||d. Nobody joins a religion that relegates converts to the bottom tier.
