The Buddha traveled throughout Northern India and Nepal and taught as he traveled. He would send out his monks daily to beg for food and in return the monks would provide teachings to the people. Because Buddhism is a classless religion and treats all people the same, with kindness and compassion, it was seen by many as an improvement over their current situation.
Further history: Buddhism srpead to become the main religion in India and the largest religion in the world until between 400 CE - 1000 CE when the Brahman priests gain sway over the Indian courts and used their influence to reduce the influence of Buddhism and increase the growth of Brahmanism / Hinduism.
