The similarities are based around numerous ideas and people who appear in both religions, for example, while Buddha is the supreme prophet of Buddhism in Buddhism, he is one of the 10 incarnations of Lord Vishnu in Hinduism. There are differences however, for example, the Hindu beliefs are that there is an eternal self that transcends material things, while Buddhism is revolved around the idea that the self does not exist and salvation comes from understanding this. In addition, Hindu believers believe in numerous gods, while Buddhism does not negate existence of a deity or deities, but states that looking for them is futile since we can never reach it.

Buddhism started becoming more and more popular around year 260 BCE when Emperor Ashoka converted to Buddhism and started supporting it publicly and building things such as temples. From there, Buddhism spread North towards China while Hinduism remained as the most spread religion in India.

Mauryan empire did it through Ashoka who was mentioned in the previous answer. He wasn't intolerant to other religions and still kept numerous Hindu believers in his court as advisers. When Guptas got power, they started spreading Hinduism because they were orthodox Hinduists, but they didn't bother Jainists or Buddhists and even encouraged them to have their own beliefs.

The two religions spread throughout Asia. Buddhism mostly spread north of India towards continental Asia, while Hinduism spread mostly towards the Indian Ocean and all across the Indian peninsula. Although Buddhism is not as widely practiced today in India, it is still strong in China for example, while Hinduism is strong all over India with more than 80% of people being Hindu.

How did Casablanca deliver a political message?
faust18 [17]

Casablanca is an exploration of the universal themes of love and sacrifice, but when the film was released in 1942, audiences viewed it as a political allegory about World War II. The film is set in December 1941, the month in which the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. That attack changed the course of American history, awakening the nation from political neutrality and thrusting it into the midst of World War II. Casablanca tells the story of a similar, though much smaller, awakening. At the beginning of the film, Rick is a cynical bar owner in the Moroccan city of Casablanca who drinks only by himself and doesn't care about politics. By the end of the film, he has become a self-sacrificing idealist, committed to the anti-Nazi war effort. The event that prompts this change in Rick is the appearance of Ilsa, his old flame, in Casablanca. Ilsa's arrival is unexpected and devastating, and it hits Rick just as hard as the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor hit America. Once Rick overcomes the initial pain, his moral sense is reignited. He doesn't get to live happily ever after with Ilsa, but he accepts the necessity of his sacrifice and the heartbreak that accompanies it. I
