I had this discussion with professor in my religion class. He told us that Buddha was born in Hindustan..... me including few of my frens opposed this... but what he said was Buddha was born much before the whole land was divided into the countries and boundaries and at that period, the whole land was called Hindustan where Hindus used to live. Later Hindustan became Indai and Nepal. As India is still called Hindustan, people belive that Buddha was born in India. I looked over many books of Religion and some sites.... but in majority, I found Buddha was born in India.... I know it's painful. Can anything be done to this? Well let's pray this buddha Jayanti brings peace in our country. Buddham Saranam Gachhami
