Though
Buddhism originated in India around 500 B.C., when the Indian prince
Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment and became the Buddha (Enlightened

part of the subcontinent. However, having reached its height in the fifth
century AD, it was all but eclipsed by the time of the Muslim conquest.|
