First of, in no way am I defending Zakaria’s claim that Buddha was born in India, that sir is flat out wrong (My sentiments remain unchanged, you on the other hand seem to be fuming trying to defend something that does not need to be defended)

Second, I was speaking on behalf on myself and not MOST of the PEOPLE so you should just relax. 

As I have said it is my opinion that I do not care and it does not matter to me where he was born. I am sticking by the official word that he was born in the PRESENT NEPAL, why should I have to go out there and defend that notion? I still feel that Buddha’s birthplace totally has no bearing on my how I view and follow his teachings; regardless of where he was born I would have still followed it. 

His birthplace therefore IN MY OPINION has no significant impact on how Buddhism has flourished.
