The Sultanate of Delhi, 711–1526 A.D. c7.s2.6

c7.s2.6

Buddhism was declining. Most of the kings of this period were the followers of the Hindu religion. These kings, however, were very tolerant towards all faiths. In fact, they patronised Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism at one and the same time. There was no religious antipathy among the people and no religious persecution. The common people as well as the upper classes seem to have been inspired by high spiritual ideals.
