Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Turkish rulers in India deprived Buddhism of local spiritual leaders by destroying large monasteries. This weakened the religion's hold on the local population and hastened its absorption into Hinduism. While options A, B, and D also represent actions taken by Turkish rulers in India, they do not directly relate to the absorption of Buddhism into Hinduism.
