Recently, in a video circulating on social media, Ghulam Nabi Azad made an observation about the roots of Indian religions, remarking that everyone 'was born as Hindu' in the country. He pointed out that Islam had emerged only about 1500 years ago, while Hinduism has been deeply embedded in the culture since ancient times. He added that people in India had converted from Hinduism to Islam, citing Kashmir as an example of where the population was mostly Kashmiri Pandits 600 years ago before they converted to Islam.
Azad further stated that all Indians are part of the same homeland regardless of what faith they follow. He said, "Whether Hindu, Muslim, Rajput, Brahmin, Dalit, Kashmiri, or Gujjar, we are all part of this homeland. Our roots are in this land, and we shall return to it after life."
The former Congress leader's departure from the grand old party was seen as a significant setback for the party. He had openly criticised the party's leadership, particularly Rahul Gandhi, for their operational approach. However, he also lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his statesman-like behaviour.
