Majority Muslims in India are converted from Hinduism: Ghulam Nabi Azad

DPAP chairman Ghulam Nabi Azad sparked a controversy with a statement claiming that a majority of Indian Muslims have converted from Hinduism, adding that an example of this can be found in the Kashmir Valley where a majority of Kashmiri Pandits converted to Islam. On today’s episode of India First, we delve into Azad’s statement and the history behind his claims. Asserting that religion should not be used to get political mileage, Azad said whoever takes refuge in religion in politics is weak. "Some BJP leader said some (Muslims) have come from outside and some have not. Nobody has come from outside or inside. Islam came to existence just 1,500 years ago. Hindu religion is very old. Around 10-20 of them (Muslims) must have come from outside, some were there in the Mughal army," the Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) chief was quoted as saying in the Doda district.
