knt is very right. Then there was no India or Nepal, Siddartha Gautam was born in Kapilvastu and any tourist who is geniunly interested in visiting the birthplace of lord buddha will know this fact. However, since Siddartha Gautam achieved the enlightenment or "Nirvana" in India, Indian can be proud to say that Buddha was born, or even more precisely Buddism was born, in Inda, but to me it really does not matter.
