i think Lord Buddha was of mongoloid origin. But whatever, he was the greatest philosopher ever. Even though he propounded the Truth more than 2 millenia ago, people of the sub-continent who had the good fortune of having him in their midst did not learn or understand his teachings. That benefit went to the wiser people of China, Japan, Thailand etc. The Great Teacher opened up the mysteries of life of its sorrows and pain and discovered a balm for it. But it was not fantastic enough for our overheated imagination and underdeveloped understanding.
