What he said is not technically
wrong, although the way he said it is condescending. Certainly one wouldn't hope this from a spiritual leader.
Ideally Buddha wasn't a Nepali or Indian. He certainly wasn't from Brihat Bharat as the claim is made. He is from a princely state Lumbini that now belongs to Nepal. But it's an accepted norm to call it Nepal, as if you try to get technical then none of the historical figure might belong to the country of origin they are associated to as countries change boundary all the time. Gandhi wasn't born in India as before British took over, there really wasn't the current India. They had different states, not just the current India.
