Bhudhha was born in nepal( lumbini ) not in india..

[@agnigaming3647]

Look bro , Gautam Buddha was born in a place called Lumbini, which is in present-day Nepal. But back then, there were no borders like India and Nepal. At that time, the region was referred to as 'Bharatvarsha,' a large cultural and geographical area. Bharatvarsha included what we now call India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. So, it’s correct to say that Gautam Buddha was born in Bharatvarsha because Lumbini was part of it at the time. He said bharatvarsh not bharat, so technically he is right.

Can a country name Nepal exited at that time?

Sanskrit didn't existed at that time..Poor research

[@ADiTYa-fq6yu]

@vaibhavparakh7548 yeah man! i do think so... but I can't remember the time of origin of Sanskrit, do you? 🙂

[@vaibhavparakh7548]

@ADiTYa-fq6yu yes I know... First you have to understand the meaning of sanskrit. Sanskrit meaning is Sanskarit. In simple words it mean which is nurtured by someone or something. So it ultimately suggest us that sanskrit is evolved from other language. And that other language is none other than one of the most oldest language in india i.e Pali pakit (prakrit). Sanskrit is written in dev nagari script and before dev nagari there was Nagari script. nagari script was used in 7 th and 8th century A.D. and later dev nagari script was developed after 12th century A.D. So sanskrit was evolved after 12th century A.D. it is a misconception that sanskrit is oldest language. We have not found a single evidence that will prove that sanskrit is the oldest language. I think I have given you many things to start research on sanskrit language.

​@@vaibhavparakh7548 Didn't you know about vedas,, valmiki's ramayana,, mahabharata etc... Even the other religions admit that these were written before the starting of AD (google - Rigveda was written in Sanskrit and it was probably written during 1500 BCE...) And i don't think that this spreading of Buddhism by Ashoka was before that time... Do you?? Well, from on POV of yours i agreed that ashoka didn't use sanskrit, even he used prakrit instead to spread this but that doesn't mean sanskrit was not evolved that time...

​@@vaibhavparakh7548Bhai Google se koi bhi dekh ke likh skta hai pata hone chaiye 😂😂

[@vaibhavparakh7548]

@ADiTYa-fq6yu i completely disagree with u.I think you haven't googled dev nagari and nagari script.. what is the archeological evidence to prove that sanskrit is 1500 hundred years old? Have we found any sanskrit inscription or manuscript to show that sanskrit was used during buddhist era or till 7th century. if you go to the UNESCO world heritage website, indian govt has given the rig Vedas manuscript that was written on birch and on some other writing stuff. The oldest manuscript was which was given to UNESCO was only 700 hundred years old. The dating of that manuscript is 1464 A.D. so how could anyone can say that rigved is written 1500 bce.this the evidence. And another most important thing who used sanskrit language at the time when it was in use? Only brahmin people and according to DNA report brahmin came to india around 7th century A.D. now please don't argue on when brahmin people came to india. It has been scientifically proven fact now. we were fooled by a particular class of people since hundreds of years. There is not a single archeological evidence or any manuscript to prove that sanskrit is oldest language in india. IT IS THE BIGGEST HOAX IN INDIA.
