This short website gives us an insight on the Buddhism in India. India is a secular country and all religions enjoy equal respect in this country. Since, major part of Gautam Buddha's Life was spent in India, it is a home to many sacred Buddhist pilgrimage sites. Buddhism in India is said to be promoted by Emperor Asoka who was a cruel warrior but had a change of heart and adopted Buddhism and its non-violence philosophy.

You can read about a little about Buddhist religion, history of Buddhism and Gautam Buddha on this site. The four most important pilgrimage sites of Buddhists - Lumbini, where Prince Siddhartha was born; Bodhgaya, where he attained Enlightenment and became Buddha; Sarnath, where he preached his first sermon and Buddhism was born; and Kushinagar, where Gautam Buddha left his mortal body forever or attained Nirvana - are discussed here.
