The no-soul lie is the greatest threat to Buddhism world-wide. Its why it died out in Indian (rightly so) so many centuries ago. It frankly deserves to die out again if it doesn't drop this misinterpretation. Buddha says "the 5 aggregates are not-the-self" and they reverse that to "you are only the 5 aggregates, only the body, the body is the only self there is, because there is no-soul." Such a farce deserves to die out.
You need to reasearch more to understand what soul in English or the exact meaning. And you say about India, I am an Indian, you must know that Buddhism died out in India not because of it's philosophy, but invaders destroyed the tradition, there was much more than these. It takes years and years to understand a philosophy.
