Look it up on a map. Buddha was considered a non-Aryan heretic trying to usurp the caste order that dictated that rebirth to Brahmin caste is required to attain spiritual liberaton, and the whole religion would've been forgotten were it not for Ashoka to convert at the height of the Mauryan Empire and send Indians as missionaries to half of Asia.
