    Hello Everyone,

    I am writing a book on Lord Buddha and need some suggestions.

    According to Hindu mythological books or Puranas Lord Buddha was a Hindu prince of the Kingdom of Kapilavastu and his real name was Siddhartha Shakya (son of King Shuddhodhana Shakya). Hindu Puranas,specifically Vishnu Purana, also mention Shakya caste/clan as a descendant of Suryavansha and belonging to Kshatriya varna.

    However, I found out that there is something called 'gotra' in Hinduism. And Shakya caste belongs to Brahmin (priest) gotra.

    So I am confused now, whether Gautam Buddha and his Shakya caste is a Kshatriya or a Brahmin ?

    Also, when Shakya caste is a Kshatriya (or Brahmin) caste then why Indian government has put it in Backward caste category (OBC) list ?

    I was born to a household opposite a big marshy pond. When I was about six, local people dug it up to reveal a beautiful water conduit with hundreds of ancient sculptures lying around. I then realised why the town was called Naxal-DhungeDhara.

    As inom turned twenty, a pond next to Thamel, some 2 Km west from Naxal, was dug up to reveal another dhungedhara in working condition and accompanied by a number of Lichhavi period artefacts including a years old inscription! I realised that my neighbourhood could be just one such example and a huge number of other dhungedharas could be well under the ponds or even the ground level waiting to be unearthed.

    A more classic case being the excavation of HandiGaun in AD, which unearthed a dhungedhara dated AD. Furthermore, the meaning of “BhotaHiti” would have lost in oblivion had there not been discovered four water co
