  1. i was going to ask this question :)


  2. Buddha was born to an Indian hindu king.

    Hence an indian.

  3. He would probably be Nepali. He was the prince of the Shakya clan in what is present day Nepal. If he were Nepali, that would make him Indo-Aryan since Nepali is an Indo-Aryan language.

  4. Buddha was originally hindu and was the son of a king in India....so why wouldn't he be Indian, today?

  5. A Buddha has no ethnicity.

    The man who became the Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, would probably be considered Nepalese.
