what technical mistake are you talking about? the criticism is not about interchanging indians and hindus.
in response to a question specifically about the indian people (or hindus by your logic), he claimed that they don’t have big hearts like muslims and can never have big hearts like muslims. this statement also included a reference to allah having gifted muslims with superior heart.
not sure why you are bringing up his separate point on indian media negativity in the context of this bigoted comment which had nothing to do with media.
