WHY India Claimed "Buddha was born in India"??

Without any logic based on the reality, facts and figures always controversial ideas, knowledge and thoughts are shared by majority of an influential Indian ancient sages, scholars, diplomats and politicians spreading rumours to keep innocent mass in an illusion and delusion so that they can fool to bull and rule over them. These are the main characteristics of Indian elites and ruling mentality people I suppose. Otherwise, they would have dare to spread the truth correcting the mistakes made by their ancestors, sages, scholars and diplomats instead of becoming a viral in spreading the false knowledge across the globe about the birth place of Siddhartha Gautam Buddha and also about genocide of girls/women ideologies and practices that they have it.

Indian elites and ruling mentality scholars and people always love to dominate women, poor and innocent people sharing their ill knowledge and thoughts using religious means in the named of gods and goddesses and making them believed that it is a God words. This has been proven from the fact that how their ancient sages written different holy scriptures such as the Law of Manu, Garuda Puran, etc which don't have any rational that are beneficial for humankind and humanity. These kinds of their holy scriptures are very much controversial and written to degrade certain group of people mainly women, innocent people, poor and dalit (untouchable) to fool, bull and rule over them promoting gender-based discrimination and caste system.

Similarly, India and some Indian always love to claim that Nepal is an Indian territory and Buddha was born in India. They might be doing this because our country is small compared to Pakistan and China their neighbours, we, Nepalese share everything (e.g. religions, customs, rituals, traditions, feast and festivals, etc) similar like Indian, and our border is open to India.

I like this statement made by Prof. Rajesh Kochhar, an Indologists from India who said:

“ Orissa is very poor. It will benefit greatly from tourism if Buddha were born there? Can we not rotate Buddha's birth place like the Olympics or the cricket match venue?”

He meant that the birth place of certain historical personages always made full of controversies.

Dragging Tourists by hook and crook is the main reason WHY Indian scholars and diplomats are always claiming that Buddha was born in India. Nepal can be prospered through tourism  because Nepal is a nature made heaven nation. We've everything what nature should provide to make it astonishing which other nations don't have it. This is the strength of Nepal and Nepal and what we've to do just correct and promote our attitude and  behavior  towards our guests and visitors and improve our infrastructure.


It is not the matter of any RELIGION to be promoted in Nepal. It is the matter of Tourism to be promoted for the national prosperity in the name of awaken person of this world.

Wake up Nepalese Wake up! Without prejudice and bull minded just critically THINK about WHY we, Nepalese needs to scream to the world to tell the truth to 7 billion people about awaken man of this world, who was physically born in Lumbini Nepal BUT spiritually awaken in India from where philosophy of Buddhism has been originated.
