I like the way she have wrote the sentence "We can hope, Dr. Zakaria is not provoking Harvard University to revoke
his Ph. D. or shaming his widely acclaimed professors Samuel Huntington
and Stanley Hoffman by creating confusion on Lord Buddha.".

Buddha is Synonymous With Nepal (Faith Never Fades Away)

NEW YORK , JAN 14 -

The best-seller book, "The Post American World" by Dr. Fareed Zakaria,
published in 2008, recently created controversy among the Buddhist
community throughout the world.


Dr. Zakaria's distortion of the fact that Buddha was born in India
offended Nepali people. Dr. Zakaria holds a Ph. D. from Harvard. He
received his doctorate in Political Science under renowned Professor
Samuel P. Huntington and was enlightened by another renowned Professor
Stanley Hoffman.


Dr. Zakaria is an editor and regular Newsweek columnist whith 24
million readers. Dr. Zakaria hosts a show on CNN called, "International
Affairs Program". He offers on a regular basis, his writings on foreign
affairs. There is much more to him. If a man of his standing misleads
readers on important subjects he may have some other intent in his mind
and that might be a very ill-motivated one.


Intellectuals think Dr. Zakaria's intention is to create fissures
between Hindus and Buddhists and between the people of two countries,
India and Nepal and for instability in the South Asian region to fuel
some psychological fear to the Chinese establishment.


Instability in South Asian region means the likelihood of China's
instability which might cost the overall rapid progress of China. A
halt in China's progress is a direct blow to the US economy because it
is very much dependent on China's big investment and its cheap
commodities.


Simple as it is, the faith of a person in this heavenly earth never
fades away. The crumbling US economy and its collapse to a major or
regional power status is only a victory to the Satan who forced the
tears of many deeply hurt people remembering the eighth anniversary of
the fallen twin towers.


Lord Buddha who was not required then to receive citizenship was born
in Lumbini, the western part of Nepal. He definitely went to Gaya, now
in India, for enlightenment but never received any citizenship from any
part of the present day India.


To be pointed, India is one of the very few young nations, which was
born only after the British left it in 1947. Nepal existed even before
Buddha's forefathers rose to power.


Buddha was born to a Hindu ruler. Buddhism was his creation. Buddhism
became a religion because human beings thrive for peace rather than
violence. There are very few books that instigate violence and killing
of innocents as their pathway to heaven.


The teachings of Buddha never accept the pains and sufferings of living
creatures. Had Buddha's teachings prevailed, the Twin Towers would have
been the major attractions of the tourism. Unfortunately, the evils
took pride in the collapse of the Twin Towers thinking American pride
would be shattered. American pride will never shatter because it
represents freedom. The want of freedom cannot be kept under a piece of
cloth.


We can hope, Dr. Zakaria is not provoking Harvard University to revoke
his Ph. D. or shaming his widely acclaimed professors Samuel Huntington
and Stanley Hoffman by creating confusion on Lord Buddha.


The hundreds of millions of Buddhists often remind the world that Lord Buddha was born in Lumbini, Nepal.
