I am wondering how much funding did the Nepal Government of then used for the develpopement of the Lumbini area. Being the birthplace of Buddha, I don't think the government did anything more then creating a committee. Had it not been for other buddhist nations Lumbini would have been another neglected Tarai area. If this is not discrimination in one form then what is it ? I have personally seen a person being beaten up by a crowd because he objected to the people putting color on him during Holi.
