This is about the Indian movie produced by WB, "chandni chok to china"
when in the beginning of the movie narrator narrates that Lord Buddha
was born in India which is completely FALSE statement. The part where
Lord Buddha was born is in Nepal and the place is known as Lumbini.
This fact has already been accepted by UNESCO. Anyone can view the fact
in the following UNESCO world heritage center website.
http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/666
True, they should be sued for that.
shareThere was no Nepal during the time of the Buddha. Then Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh were all part of India. Thus the statement Buddha was born in India is true.
shareThere was no India when Buddha was born in 623 B.C. He was born as a prince in His own kingdom. And the land where Lord was born has been conquered by several warriors like Genghis Khan (1162-1227) and even some Mogul Emperors (1526-1857) couple of times. But eventually, Lumbini is now in Nepal. Present Tense. So it is our duty to educate people and make them aware of the fact that Lord Buddha belongs to everyone and great figures like Him and Mahatma Gandhi cannot be judged within the barricade of territorial boundaries. These people or God are so great that they belong to everyone and not just confined to one or two countries.

Hahaha.. what a baseless logic is this?
Then you mean Mahatma Gandhi was born in BRITAIN? coz your country was made kinda slave of BRITAIN of that time.
And again that also means that MAHATMA GANDHI was born in FOLK LAND... coz that was a part of BRITAIN...
This is not MATHEMATICS dude.. when A=B and B=C , A=C.
This is GEOGRAPHY.. where A is not equal to B and B is not equal to C.
Go and ask any BUDDHIST where buddha was born.. or just visit NEPAL.. UNESCO has even listed his birthplace, LUMBINI, in WORLD HERITAGE SITE.. its a great place.. you'll enjoy it and obviously increase some GENERAL KNOWLEDGE which most of the INDIANS seem not to have...
Being smart is good but being over smart is not good.

Actually, yes. He was born in British India.
And you Nepalese beggars were effective "slaves" of Britain too. You think you did not exist at the behest of the viceroy?
Today, we can (and probably should) bomb you stone age savages back to the pleistocene era if you beggars continue with this $hit.
No. We have REAL historical knowledge, not Buddhist-Nazi proganada. Get it, Mr Buddhist Nazi in beggar robe
Again,severe insult.You CAN NOT,I repeat,YOU CAN NOT compare Nazi with Buddhist religion,a religion which preaches peace can NOT be compared to a doctrine which preached the termination/annihilation of specific groups.
Buddhists invaded, occupied and brutally murdered millions of Cham Hindus in Cambodia, they invaded and wiped out entire civilizations from Thailand, they violently oppressed the Buraku people of Japan, and your precious 'Dalai Lama" in Tibet instigated a barbaric theocracy that was 100 times worse than Iran or Saudi Arabia.

I do not need to re-read a post full of madness and psychosis.Besides,you lack the ability to communicate soundly without falling into the trap of anger,thus abusing/insulting those that you dont know.Henceforth,no more comments from me to you.GOODBYE!
Peace&prosperity!
Buddhists invaded, occupied and brutally murdered millions of Cham Hindus in Cambodia, they invaded and wiped out entire civilizations from Thailand, they violently oppressed the Buraku people of Japan,
there has been no record of Buddhist violence againts Hindus and that goes vice versa.in India Hindus were once majority,then Buddhist became the majority and then again Hindus took over.this happenned over centuries and amzingly not a single case of religious war happenned.this is an amzing fact which both Hindus and Buddhist should be proud of.religious violence only happens among the barbarians ie jews christians and ofcourse the champion of religious intolerance,the MUSLIMS! we are much civilized for that.the example u qouted are just war that happened among diffrent nations and ethnicity.
your precious 'Dalai Lama" in Tibet instigated a barbaric theocracy that was 100 times worse than Iran or Saudi Arabia.
Dalai Lama's rule has prospered Tibet.not a single beggar could be found in Lhasa as well as the rest of Tibet during his reign as compared to the Chinese's rule now.
In the 20th century alone, Buddhists have conducted Nazi-style genocide of Tamils in Sri Lanka
again the civil war in Lanka is matter of ethnicity.and can u imagine in the war between Tamils and Sinhalas, the brainless and shamless Muslims,being a neutral party instead of trying to brige the gap between the two warring sides, demanded an independant homeland in Lanka.such shamless bastards!
murdered tens of thousands of Rohingya Muslims in Burma
we know that Burma has a military regime.they are oppressing even the peaceful monks in the capital and their own Buddist people as well,let alone these troublesome Muslims.
I am a Hindu, but I believe that Hinduism,Buddhism and Jainism form the great Sanathana Dharma. all the three are the same religion,what's to argue about mate?reserve ur arguements for the barbarians.

to minky monky,
my comments were reply to jaunty's comments earlier and not to urs.
the comment on buddhist invaders are from jaunty. In that comment I replied that the Buddhist invasions are not religious wars but normal wars of conquests
re : caste system
was initially good but the practice went wrong over the ages.for one who do not know how and why the caste system was formed, arguing with such persons is like,as you put it,as much fun as a wound full of maggots.
re: Dalai Lama
again I was replying to Jaunty 's remarks and not implying u to be Buddhist.I support the rule of the Dalai Lama as it PROVEN that his holiness rule was peaceful and prosperous.Check out the history books
re : why u are not insulting the ppl of Libya etc..
well I am not insulting but stating the facts.i can very well state the facts of these countries u mentioned like Qatar and Malaysia but then I cant sit here whole night can I ? just to name one country, Malaysia, have u been reading the newspapers? The muslim dominated Malaysian govt are officially backed with law are discriminating the non Muslims. there is a law in Malaysia that orders all units of the malaysian govt to favour the Muslims than the non Muslims in matters such as education, land and house purchase, positions in the govt stock purchases etc.I can go on stating the facts of all these barbaric countries but then I do not have all night.
re Muslims discriminated in India
; it s all their fault. do you see discriminations againts Buddist and Jains and Sikhs and Parsis ? its because they act in civilized manner and life peacefully with the majority Hindus.
re Alqaeda among the Rohingya :
Al Qaeda is only intrested in targets connected to US so they are not intrested in the Rohingya ppl. The Rohingya ppl or any other Muslim seperatist be it in Checnya or Kosovo or Sri Lanka or Kashmir or Pattani (Thailand) or the Talibans or the Pashtuns or the Moros of the Phillipines have been troublesome badasses who can never be peaceful with themselves and nor will let others live in peace.This is the fact and it is also a fact,not a coincidence that these ppl happen to be all Muslims!
re : myself travelling and talking to ppl of Muslim countries,
I live in a muslim majority country in SE Asia hence i know what i am talking about.
lastly I am a HIndu but I respect and worship the Buddhist,Jain and the Confucianist faith.In my country we visit and pray in each others temples,ie the Buddhist and Chinese go to Hindu temples and Indians Hindus going to Chinese temples and worship Buddha as our Lord.Of course we do not visit the barbarians and nor do the barbarians come to our places of worship.
Being compassionate,merciful and forgiving people will not cost you a thing!

You can say BRITISHERS if you like,heck you can even call us Britneys!Many Americans have tendencies of addressing the entire Great Britain as ENGLISH,WHAT ABOUT SCOTLAND?Irish or welsh people?darn it..it is simply infuriating.

Peace&prosperity!
WOuld you rather be called "Britons" like Julius Caesar did (before he pwned your a$$es)?

shareyou guys are retards.
who gives a damn who was born where, who cares. I am sure that lord his holiness prince buddha blabla wouldn't give a damn himself.
india and nepal weren't defined nations at the time, but were all part of the indian-subcontinent. but then again, who cares
what's worse is that the film sucked.
"What if there is no tomorrow? there wasn't one today...!"
Ideally, nobody gives a damn but the Lord Buddha knew where his loyalty laid.

mahatma ganshi born in british india? not entirely true. Gujurat was a PRINCELY state and was not in direct control of the british.
shareLord Buddha's bible (Dhammapada if my memory is ok) was writtent in Pali, the Indian dialect, another proof that he was Indian...
Also the term "pariah" is used in "Who is the Pariah ?" (a part of Dhammapada) and the pariah (paria in Pali dialect) was the lowest cast of people during this period.
I respect Nepal as a country and I am not trying to take away your heritage.It is true that Lumbini is in Nepal(country) now.But try to understand that India is not just a political boundary you see in the world map today.It is ancestor of all the culture,language,religion etc you people have.Indeed Lumbini is in Nepal today, but the group of kingdoms() at that time which shared same culture and linguistic base(Sanskrit) were (even then) identified as one.That base is Indian.Again, don't get me wrong.But Buddhism is nothing but a rebel child of Hinduism.It born in "Jambudvipa" (if that makes you happy) and there was no Nepal (country) or culture for that matter, at that time.The Father of Siddhartha was a leader of Shakya clan and The Hindu Puranas mention Shakya as a king of Ikshvaku dynasty, son of Sanjaya and father of Shuddhodana.(Ref. Misra, V.S. (2007). Ancient Indian Dynasties, Mumbai: Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, ISBN 81-7276-413-8, pp.285-6)So dont do this.Whether you accept or not,you are , at last, sons and daughters of India.
