You must be brave to even ask such citizenship question of Buddha. By the way, since you ask of Buddha's, would you mind to share your citizenship please?
I disagree that it is irreverent. In simple words, same way as it does to you when your citizenship is quoted wrong.
More than pride on where Buddha was born, this is about misrepresenting "history", a fact and misjudgment on truth about Buddhism as well.
Besides, how would you think others would react if we say, Mohammad was born in USA or Jesus was born in Saudi Arabia? Exactly! You care to learn Buddha's teaching? You are not even willing to know your Master or his identity - forget learning his teaching with that attitude.
Shiva-linga - If you defend Zakaria on the ground that he might have quoted Buddha as Indian-ethnicity, would Mr. Zakaria like us quoting him as cousin on Osama? Right!
All we wanted was FACTS! If Buddha was in-fact born in India - So-Be-It! However, learn UNESCO's facts, Historical Facts, to your dismay - He was indeed born in Nepal. Thank you.
