Yup, its modern day Nepal. But the clear distinction btw Nepal and India probably wasn't there around 400 B.C.Originally posted by Short Ninja:No can do lah that person happens to be my uncle also I think Buddha was born in modern day Nepal>please dont throw stones if I am wrong
Im pretty sure the Bodhi tree / Bodh Gaya is in India though. Actually its pretty close to Bangladesh iirc.
Heh, the next time one of my friends makes fun of Bangladesh, i'm gonna bring this up. Should be interesting. -

so in your definition, a chinese can be of any other religion but he/she cannot be muslim, wtf........Originally posted by Short Ninja:They are called the Uygurs or something like that....in Singapore they are called OCBC (orang cina bukan cina) -
hmmm.......wtf.......you dunno history ah......if buddha was born in modern day Nepal, then who the heck was that indian man who sat under the tree thingy looking for that thing he was looking forOriginally posted by Short Ninja:No can do lah that person happens to be my uncle also I think Buddha was born in modern day Nepal>please dont throw stones if I am wrong -
Dude, he's right la..... Buddha was born in Modern-day Nepal. Its just that back then there was no seperate Nepal, Pakistan or Bangladesh to speak of. Just India.Originally posted by Deino:hmmm.......wtf.......you dunno history ah......if buddha was born in modern day Nepal, then who the heck was that indian man who sat under the tree thingy looking for that thing he was looking for -

Well then it doesn't matter where he was born....its his roots.....he was of indian royal blood.....like how westerners view jesus as, most buddhist may have thought of buddha as one of them, then again i may be wrong and that he was really one of them

Yup, you're right. I'd count him as Indian rather than Nepalese. Just saying that Ninja is technically right in saying that Buddha was born in modern day Nepal.Originally posted by Deino:Well then it doesn't matter where he was born....its his roots.....he was of indian royal blood.....be it Nepal, he was indian......
If only more people think the way you do.....Pakistan and India wouldn't be fighting.
Not to mention the other countless examples of people who are so similar arguing and fighting. -
yeah......gandhi would've wanted that......close minded and selfish thinking has kept all of us backOriginally posted by sunniban:Yup, you're right. I'd count him as Indian rather than Nepalese. Just saying that Ninja is technically right in saying that Buddha was born in modern day Nepal.

When did I say a Chinese can be of any religion but he/she cannot be muslim???Originally posted by Deino:so in your definition, a chinese can be of any other religion but he/she cannot be muslim, wtf........

i tot you just called em OCBCOriginally posted by Short Ninja:When did I say a Chinese can be of any religion but he/she cannot be muslim??? -
The Uygurs are Chinamen like the rest of China but because they have Turkish blood the other Chinese treat them differently and I quote a Chinese National, "They are Chinese and yet not really Chinese".You must be still in your teens or barely in your early 20s to understand OCBC (one of Singapores racial joke of the 80s).It was meant to target Peranakans and half -chinese and by the way I am an OCBC.Originally posted by Deino:i tot you just called em OCBC -
ooooo............not all got turkish blood wot......juz like malays, we were introduced to islam when the muslim arabs came to trade.....Originally posted by Short Ninja:The Uygurs are Chinamen like the rest of China but because they have Turkish blood the other Chinese treat them differently and I quote a Chinese National, "They are Chinese and yet not really Chinese".You must be still in your teens or barely in your early 20s to understand OCBC (one of Singapores racial joke of the 80s).It was meant to target Peranakans and half -chinese and by the way I am an OCBC. -

Historically correct to say that not the Arabs but Chinese/Indian Muslims played a more active role in introducing Islam to Acheh,Sumatra,Malay Peninsula and Java.Originally posted by Deino:ooooo............not all got turkish blood wot......juz like malays, we were introduced to islam when the muslim arabs came to trade..... -
oooooo......but wiki says the arabs played a part too....Originally posted by Short Ninja:Historically correct to say that not the Arabs but Chinese/Indian Muslims played a more active role in introducing Islam to Acheh,Sumatra,Malay Peninsula and Java. -

remember when quoting wiki, its can be changed by anyone so take it with a dash of salt and pepper.

And also I think nobody should quote anything from Wiki if you are writing your thesis or your professor could just throw it out the window
