Cyberlegend...
U need bit of a logic in your head.
Jesus was born under the Roman empire, controlled by Romans, infact he was killed by the Romans by Roman authority (the cross...you get it). Yet when you ask people "Where was Jesus born?", the answer is "Jerusalem" and not "Rome Italy" which is nowhere close to modern day Jerusalem. If they claim Buddha was born in India, then with the same logic, Jesus should have be born in Rome. Try to say that to the world and see what reactions you'll get. They'll call you idiot.
What makes you think Buddha's case is different? At least the Romans had a distinct presence in the history about their rule kingdom and their land during those days. India simply didn't exist at all during the time of Buddha.
This is simply India flexing muscles with wrong historical facts. Let me remind you, this is not a fight about religion, it is about history. So don't bring the "Buddha's message" type of BS.
