Agreed - There was neither India nor Nepal. Infact was called "Bharat-Varsha". However, his actual Birthplace is located at Present Nepal. So, why are you defending, while Buddha's birthplace was not India - neither THEN as you pointed, nor NOW. Come on! Agree?

How significant to his teaching? Isn't the very essence of Buddhism to believe in "Truth"? How can you term that irrelevant or not significant because you cannot stand for Buddha's teaching or cherry pick some but hate to live with the FACT - Not my story or India's or that of Mr. Zakaria, but "THE" FACT- Historical Fact, Proved, Supported by the United Nation's Agency, by the credible govts around the world including Japan. (Not India-Sorry in case I hurt your sentiments)

Who is talking about Anti-India crap here? I talked of FACT. Is FACT
another name of India? India FYI claims anything they can. Even Mother
Teresa was born in India, or Jesus's tomb is in Kashmir, So you
clinging to India's or Zakaria's claim that Buddha was born in India is
nothing new.

Besides, I cannot insist anymore to stick to the truth as you feel, there is no need to blow up this issue, to me- it seems, it is time for you to quit this thread and for me to try any hard to educate TRUTH, not being politically correct, misrepresent facts, it Does matter to many others. We just cannot say it doesn't matter or it is irrelevant because you do not get it or doesn't matter to you.
