The page 14 of this book claims Buddha born in India, which is a false information. Please correct it. Buddha was born in Lumbini, Nepal. Lumbini has been always remained in Nepal and not not India.
Hope the writer will correct his mistake and provide the factual information to the readers.
- To readers- Please note that Lumbini is located in Nepal which has never been India through out the history.
