It is needed atleast for Indians to study the dhamma and follow it in daily life so that can be tradition. And the traditions die very hard. In India Buddhism is being spead , but in very inpured way...
The Poeple in India are studying Buddhism but they find it difficult to put in the practice..and India need well trained monks like Bhikkhu Pesala....he may also feel the difference in the practice of Indian Buddhist no matter whether they are residence of UK , Canada/US or in India.
This was pretty appropriate reply to the people.

At the time that the Bamiyan Buddha was being destroyed, I was residing at
the Ambedkar Buddhist Vihara in Southall, West London. My supporters
organised a demonstration outside the Afghanistan embassy. I declined to
go. I told them, "No one can destroy Buddhism in this way. Only Buddhists
can destroy Buddhism by not studying it and practising it properly." I
don't think they understood me very well.
