The founder of the dynasty J Nehru was to remark that he was "... proud to be reared up an Islamist, an Englishman by education, and a Hindu by accident".
In a letter to President Dr Rajendra Prasad (Nov 17, 1953) Nehru wrote: "The Hindu is certainly not tolerant and is certainly more narrow minded than almost any person in any other country except the Jews".
Read the article by Sharada Gupta in the Indian Express of New Delhi, August 29, 1997 and two articles in The Sword of Truth online magazine (1) A Tale of Two Lals, (2) The Story of Gangadhar, Father of Motilal.
Also do a google search, and try to find books by Mathai and Yunus.

So whats wrong he said.. Let me write his complete sentence...
"HINDUISM as a faith is vague, amorphous, many sided, all things to all men. It is hardly possible to define it, or indeed to say definitely whether it is a religion or not, in the usual sense of the word. In its present form, and even in the past, it embraces many beliefs and practices, from the highest to the lowest, often opposed to or contradicting each other."
