Did Jesus spend many years in India?

[isacatholic]

I have encounteres many sites claiming that Jesus spent from age 14 to abou 30 in India studying under the buddist and indian gurus and this was later reflected in his teachings. Is there any truth in this and if not, where did jesus spend these years?
