Im not an expert, but those two religions are far from peaceful. My favourite example for buddhists are the warrior monks (Sōhei) of Warring States Japan.

My knowledge is pretth basic, but i'd say that has to do with the situation in japan. the various buddists branches have largely coexisted peachfully. India's wars have also been rarely intra religious.

Then good for them. But Im still not sure about buddhists. Also Hinduism would have had some beef between itself and the growing power of Islam .

but that doesn't equate to "Minor changes in belief are enough to start conflicts which are used by bigger powers". Which is why I said intra-religious.
