It's a shame that India is trying to cash in on this.  I've read that the majority of the world believes that the birthplace of Buddha is Kapilvastu, Nepal.

Re: Birth place of lord Buddha

In Thailand most of the people are the follower of Buddhism  The birthday of Gautama Buddha was celebrated in India on May 28 this year. His birthday, as with all traditional  podcast download birthdays in India, is celebrated according to the lunar calendar and falls on the first full moon day of the month of ‘Jeth’. In the solar calendar, this is on different dates each year.

The full moon is called Purnima, and this full moon, the birthday of Buddha, is therefore called Buddha Purnima. There is a bank holiday throughout the country, and all schools and offices are closed on this day.

In the land of his birth, there are very few Buddhists today. But Hindus throughout the country still revere him as much as a Hindu saint, and this day is considered very auspicious because of his birth. Important occasions like marriages, etc. are scheduled for this day when possible. Pujas are also held in the households on this day.

You are right. I've read in some forums both Indians and Nepalese are quarreling about the birth place of Buddha. And no one wants to give way.
