We want to protest on the comment that Buddha was born in India but we forgot the simple concept of Buddha for PEACE. I don't think Buddha ever taught us to go for protest on every single issue.


I also watched this movie and even I felt bad about this. But this issue might be issue of border boundaries when Buddha was born. I am not the history expert but what I know so far is, Siddartha Gautam was born in Lumbini Nepal and he got Buddhism in Budhagaya India. I would say, he was born in Nepal but became Buddha in India. Its like someone is born in Nepal and did Bachelors in India. However, I never heard that Lumbini was part of India ever.


May be those days there were no border boundaries between Nepal and India, or may be that time those places were not even called as Nepal and India.... I am not history expert.... But definitely it hurts us Nepali when we hear Buddha is born in India.... Sad thing to hear for we Nepali.... BUT DEFINITELY NOT A TOPIC FOR ANOTHER PROTEST...


Remember, Buddha never taught us way to protest. If we can follow the path of Buddha then Nepal will be peaceful country like before.


Jai Nepal
