"Declined in India but remained strong in other areas of Asia."

Explanation: Buddhism spread from India across the Silk Road and by sea into Central, East, and Southeast Asia, becoming a major religion in places like China, Korea, Japan, Tibet, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand and more. Over the medieval period it largely declined in India (loss of royal patronage, absorption into Hindu practices, and later invasions), even while flourishing elsewhere.
