This made to have this area a Dhamma kingdom, when the Indians prohibited Buddhists visiting the area It was
Anagarika Dharmapala in the year 1891 saved the Buddhagaya from the Indians.
By purchasing a land for In Rs 600 by sending a money order and built the Mahabodhi Viharaya adjacent to the Buddhagaya Viharaya and subsequently founded the Mahabodhi foundation to conduct exclusively Buddhist activities.
For all his efforts be preserved a large responsibility is on the shoulders of All Ceylon Buddhist Association. Otherwise similar bombs would blast in Anuradhapura and other places. What happened in Buddhagaya is only a rehearsal of the activities in store for the Buddhists.
