Gautam Budha was born in Kapilvastu, Lumbini, now Nepal; he walked seven feets right after his birth. Even Emperor Ashok knew it and built several memorials in His name. He married his daughter Charumati to Nepal's prince Devpal and built a Budha's chaitya Chabahil just because Budha was born in Nepal. There need not be any more proof. Everyone wants to naturalize him or his body in one way or other -his tooth is in Sri Lanka, ash in Japan, and gyan was achieved in Gaya, India. It really does not matter if others say he was born in a country other than Nepal as long as the world knows where he was born... he belongs to the world in the end.
