AP World History: Modern
Unit 2 – Networks of Exchange (1200-1450)
Topic 2.1
What was a distinctive feature between Buddhism's spread eastwards along the silk roads during Gupta India versus during Mauryan Empire?
During Gupta India, Buddhism spread through Mahayana form while in Mauryan times it was Theravada Buddhism that dominated.
Both periods saw equal spread of both forms of Buddhism, Mahayana and Theravada equally.
No Buddhist influences were evident during Gupta or Mauryan reigns due to lack of historical evidence.
Only Hinduism was propagated across silk routes during these eras, not Buddhism.
