The similarities are based around numerous ideas and people who appear in both religions, for example, while Buddha is the supreme prophet of Buddhism in Buddhism, he is one of the 10 incarnations of Lord Vishnu in Hinduism. There are differences however, for example, the Hindu beliefs are that there is an eternal self that transcends material things, while Buddhism is revolved around the idea that the self does not exist and salvation comes from understanding this. In addition, Hindu believers believe in numerous gods, while Buddhism does not negate existence of a deity or deities, but states that looking for them is futile since we can never reach it.

Buddhism started becoming more and more popular around year 260 BCE when Emperor Ashoka converted to Buddhism and started supporting it publicly and building things such as temples. From there, Buddhism spread North towards China while Hinduism remained as the most spread religion in India.

Mauryan empire did it through Ashoka who was mentioned in the previous answer. He wasn't intolerant to other religions and still kept numerous Hindu believers in his court as advisers. When Guptas got power, they started spreading Hinduism because they were orthodox Hinduists, but they didn't bother Jainists or Buddhists and even encouraged them to have their own beliefs.

The two religions spread throughout Asia. Buddhism mostly spread north of India towards continental Asia, while Hinduism spread mostly towards the Indian Ocean and all across the Indian peninsula. Although Buddhism is not as widely practiced today in India, it is still strong in China for example, while Hinduism is strong all over India with more than 80% of people being Hindu.

Answer from: Quest

the french revolution main idea was to give power to the people. the revolution was influenced by the enlightenment ideas, reasoning and skepticism pushed people to revolt against standards and norms in french society.

the problem was that the revolution caused political turmoil, and napoleon saw this as an opportunity and launched a coup d’état in november 1799. he became the first consul of france and later named french emperor.

some people see napoleon as a hero of the revolution and others see him as a traitor.

people see him as a traitor because he noticed the political turmoil and used this moment to rise to power. others see him as a hero of the revolution because he had some political and military achievements - in which he was committed to promoting the achievements of the french revolution - he had extensive public constructions, made a civil reform.

in a bigger picture, napoleon had some huge achievements in france which made him very important, but the fact that he seized power to himself makes him an undeniable traitor to the revolution since the main idea of it was to remove people from power and give power to the people.

Henry h. amringe commented in reaction to the 1850 women’s rights convention. women in europe may fill the throne, as reigning monarchs. shall they who are thought worthy of the highest station, in hereditary monarchies, be deemed unworthy of election to office, by the suffrages of a free people? if women, placed in the administration of great and vast national affairs, by the mere accident of birth, have acted wisely, much more might we expect not wisdom only, but integrity in the government of women, selected by free citizens, with a view to mental and moral fitness. short-answer questions where did henry amringe make these comments? what argument does amringe give to support his views?
