Answer:

The influence of Buddhism on India is of the limited nature which was further inflected by the Hindu culture and is now non existent in India. However Confucianism is still prominent in the Chinese culture even today.

Step-by-step explanation:

Buddhism had only a slight influence on India's government throughout the ages, Confucianism was not only adopted and used as a form of social control during dynastic times, it also remains the primary ideological force, if only in name, driving family and social relationships in modern China. Buddhism, on the other hand, was subsumed by India's Hindu culture and has not served a major role in Indian governance since the days of Asoka.
