Answer
hello there,

even though the question you asked is not from the area i resarch, still i will try to answer you. if you see the map of asia, you will find there are big countries like india,  china. india is rich in culture since last 2000 or so but its culture started to decline due to following 2 main reasons.

1)spreading the muslim empire from 13th century. who just not ruled india but started converting muslim religion, demolishing temples and forbiding cultural activities.

2) followed by european countries like british, dutch, french especially british who ruled india for more than 200 years and followed the same ways of muslim, converting hindus, and so on....

i am sorry that i am not able to answer your questions due to my limitation in this area. but if you still want to ask anymore question on the area in which i do resarch, plz do ask.

with best wishes
