"You should not take Kṛṣṇa that because He appeared in India therefore He is Indian or Indian God. That is a mistake. Kṛṣṇa is for everyone. Do not consider that Kṛṣṇa belongs to the Hindu community or Kṛṣṇa belongs to the India or any way, kṣatriya. No. He does not belong to any material designation. He is above. And you'll find in the Bhagavad-gītā, Fourteenth Chapter, He claims, sarva-yoniṣu kaunteya sambhavanti mūrtayaḥ (BG 14.4). There are 8,400,000's of forms of living entities, including human being. And Kṛṣṇa says, ahaṁ bīja-pradaḥ pitā, "I am their seed-giving father." So He claims to be father not only of the human society but of the animal society, beast society, bird society, insect society, aquatic society, plant society, tree society—all living entities. God cannot belong to any particular community or class. That is misconception. God must belong to everyone."
