Claim: Jawaharlal Nehru said that he was an Englishman by education, an Internationalist by views, a Muslim by culture, and a Hindu only by accident of birth.
Fact-check: Nehru did not say that he is a Muslim by culture and a Hindu only by accident of birth - FACTLY
Verdict: the statement was not made by nehru. n. b. khare, a hindu mahasabha leader, first made these comments claiming that nehru made these comments in his autobiography. but no such statement was found in nehru's autobiography. the 'deccan chronicle' has also issued a correction that they have wrongly attributed the quote to nehru. they also mentioned that it was an allegation made by khare. so, the claim made in the post is false.
