Buddhism first appeared in Indus Valley not in India. Buddha Gotama wasn't Indian. India didn't even exist as a country at the time of his death or legendary death, there were many individual Indian kingdoms but they were south of Indus Valley.
Buddhism started in Indus Valley which was a part of Persia empire at the time. The oldest Buddhist manuscripts are found in Ghandara, a place in ancient Persia at the time, later the Greeks took over Gandhara from Persia and ruled it. Under the Greek-rule Ghandara was where first world's Buddha figure was created, this is why the oldest Buddha figures are found in Ghandara.
Alexander the Great was in that region to invade India, the Greeks and Indians were enemies. Greeks didn't respect Indians, they viewed them as inferior. Persians too had also attacked Indians, the Persians captured and occupied large parts of areas now known as northern India. This is known as Aryan invasions or Aryan migration. DNA studies show northern Indians carry higher frequency of European Y-DNA, confirming ancient written records of invasions by Aryans now known as Iranians. The term Iranian came from the term Aryan.
Ancient records say Buddha Gotama had blue eyes and short hair curls, he was a nomadic tribe prince who abandoned the nomadic warrior lifestyle and become a peaceful guru, this is why he was called Sakamumi, meaning teacher of Saka tribe. Saka is a well known and documented Aryan nomadic warrior tribe in a Persia ruled region.
India claims Buddha Gotama was a prince in Shakya, a place of Indians in today's northeast India, but the big problem is Shakya was not a kingdom, it had no king, so therefore no prince, because Shakya was a republic. In fact, Shakya is the world's earliest republic on record.
Furthermore, the oldest Buddhist manuscripts were not written in Indian sanskrit but in ancient Persian language, Kharosthi script, a writing used by Saka but not Indians.
