How did Buddhism die out in India?

Buddhism lasted over a thousand years in the land of its origin. Two factors are generally cited as the reasons for the ultimate disappearance of the religion from India :

1. The invading hordes of the Prophet, who razed the temples and slaughtered the unresisting, idol worshipping monks

2. The Vedic revival, which drove the religion out the country
