In his book published in May 2009, "The Post-American World", a non-fiction, Fareed Zakaria, claimed the Buddha was an Indian and Buddhism was born in India.
Sindhu Literature Society set the book on fire for making the malicious claim, said Amit Ghimire a member of the society.
"How dare he write this without studying about the Buddha and attack Nepal´s sovereignty?" questioned Ghimire.
It is shameful that a person like Zakaria who did PhD in political science does not know where the Buddha was born, he added.
