thought we were talking about where BUDDHA was born and not the cause and effect of what it MIGHT lead to. I do not see how India over taking Nepal correlates to Buddha's birthplace. 

as far as I have understood, the claim Indians have put forward is that Buddha’s birthplace is located somewhere in the current INDIAN border and not Lumbini, I have never heard any Indians claiming Lumbini is a part of India. The political implication is not what I am talking about when I was saying I don’t care where Buddha was born. I just want to walk on Buddha's path without ever having to deal with political stench trying to over shadow it.
