You mean that "vanguard of tolerance", India is not going to do this, yet atheist China is going to? How strange, I thought it was the Hindu's in India who were kicking up such a fuss, burning the Holy Koran and killing dozens of Muslim protesters in protest at what the Taliban had done?
Do you not comprehend English ?
Atheist China is not rebuilding the statues, a private Chinese enterpreneur is !! And that enterpreneur could very well be Budhist.
