Cleric Claims Hindus Are Not In Majority; Sparks Row Over Remarks On Dalits, Tribals, And Tamils
A major controversy has erupted following remarks made by a prominent Islamic scholar and member of the Muslim Personal Law Board at a recent conclave
A major controversy has erupted following remarks made by a prominent Islamic scholar and member of the Muslim Personal Law Board at a recent conclave. The scholar asserted that Hindus do not constitute a majority in India, arguing that demographics have been misunderstood. The speaker claimed that groups such as Sikhs, Buddhists, Christians, Dalits, tribals, Tamils, and Lingayats should not be categorised as Hindus.
Additionally, the cleric stated that Hindus are split into secular and fascist categories, suggesting that both segments ultimately harm their cause. These remarks have drawn sharp criticism, with representatives of Hindu organisations viewing them as an attempt to divide the majority community. Security analysts and political observers expect the controversial statement to spark widespread debate.
