Wow, just beacuse you feel  it was "cringeworthy" does not mean you lambast them. It might not mean anything to you, but it means a lot to some.They are not bothering you, they are not beating the Indians. It is a freedom of speech. Freedom does not always have to be your liking. I feel it has been dragged on for a while now and needs to to stop. I share my akwardness too, but I cannot stop people expressing their opinion.

If they are going to do it, why not do it at a big game and get the media attention, instead of stupid facebook. I know it is getting annoying, but hey, it is better than nothing. If nothing else, it is atleast bringing some pride and nationality among these jobless people. A small pride for a stupid thing is better than "no" pride at all. You see, we do not have too many choices to fight for, to brag about, to be proud of. We have no role models to look up to. Of the few things, Buddha is definetly on the top list. I know now you'll go about preaching how we should create newer things to be prode of and move on. But try explaning that to those people in the stadium, you'll face the reality.

And again people who are trying to bring history to prove it is not a big deal. Regardless what countries were there at ancient time, it does not matter. What it is now is the subject of interest. Jesus was born in Jerusalem and Romans were the ruler. Yet, Romans do not say "Jesus was born in Rome". Jerusalem and Rome are two different place now. Even if we were ruled by some dynasty of Indian kings back then, it is Nepal NOW. And Indians have always claimed that Buddha was born in India to the west, which is a false claim. Yes, it matters for some people, maybe not to you. Leave them alone. If India was to start saying "Mohammed was born in India", what do you think will happen next?

But again, some people give up and avoid the "cringe" to feel comfortable even when they know it is a lie. If you are ashamed of it, please turn your eyes and ears away. Other people have the rights to express their opinion as long as they don't break the laws. If you don't have the balls to fight, let others do it. Throught the history, many civilizations have fought for territory, ideology, politics and often for the stupidiest thing. Why not this?
