Urdu ≠ Indian?

To repeat:
1. Netaji’s government was called: Ārzī Hukūmat-e-Āzād Hind (The Provisional Government of Free India).
2. The Indian National Army’s motto was: Ittehad, Itmad, aur Qurbani (unity, faith, and sacrifice).
3. His cabinet had 33% Muslims.
4. Its flag had Tipu Sultan’s springing tiger at its centre.
This was in 1943.
And we are fighting Fabindia’s cringey, obviously virtue-signalling, wrongly-worded campaign for using what we think are ‘Muslim’ words.
In 2021.
Sigh!
