'बुद्ध भारतीय 
थिए, बुद्ध दर्शन पनि भारतमै पत्ता लागेको थियो तर बौद्धमार्गीहरू भारतमा 
छैनन्',

I dont think Fareed said Buddha was born in India. He said Buddha was Indian, it doesn't mean he was born in India. During Buddha's time, the borders of countries were not specified as today. Nepal also had many kingdoms, Buddha's was a prince of one of such small kingdoms. During that time, there was no specific country as Nepal or India.

The argument is wrong if it specifically states " Buddha was born in India".

My facts about Buddha:
Born in Nepal.
Went to India and gained salvation/knowledge. spent most of his life in India.
Died in India.
