Which of the following is an accurate statement about the history of south asia?
a. buddhism was founded in india.
b. when west pakistan gained its independence, it was renamed bangladesh.
c. invaders from the indus valley conquered afghanistan in about 2500
b. c.
d. because of continued ethnic unrest, the military seized power in india in 1950.

The correct answer is A, as Buddhism was founded in India.

Buddhism developed from the teachings spread by its founder Siddhartha Gautama, around the 5th century BC in northeastern India. The details of Buddha's life are mentioned in ancient Buddhist texts, in which there are marked inconsistencies in the details of his life, although there is no precision about the dates in which it experienced a rapid expansion to become the predominant religion in India in the 3rd century BC. In this century, the Indian emperor (Ashoka) made it the official religion of his enormous empire, sending embassies of Buddhist monks to all the world known then.

It wasn't until the 7th century when Buddhism started to decline in its homeland, although by then it had already expanded to many territories. By the 13th century it had reached its near complete demise from India, but it had spread successfully through most of the east of the Asian continent.
