Buddha’s Birthplace error in Google Maps
Posted by worldamity on March 10, 2010
While searching “birth place of Buddha” in google, we can see the map pointer inside the area of Nepal, but the location description is definded “Uttar Pradesh, India”. Well everyone is aware of the fact that Buddha was born at Kapilvastu
in Nepal and even the pointer is pointed correctly in Lumbini area, but how can the description be written “Uttar Pradesh, India”? This has certainly drawn lots of attention because of wrong information to all the viewers of google maps.

I object to this address shown in the picture. it is very offensive to me and all the people from the small countries that are dominated by the powerful countries. in the picture you are showing the place inside the territory as a part of the India yet Nepal is a sovereign country.. you need to correct that immediately …
