WHAT WE FOUND: We found the reference of this comment being made on Nehru in BR Nanda's book _'The Nehrus: Motilal and Jawaharlal_ '. * BR Nanda has authored books about
Motilal Nehru and Jawaharlal Nehru. He has also written the biography of Mahatma Gandhi. * As per Nanda, NB Khare, a Hindu Mahasabha leader, had commented on Nehru stating that he was
educated in English, had a culture influenced by Muslims, and was unfortunate in being Hindu. This claim has previously gone viral in 2020 and 2021. * THE QUINT fact-checked this claim in
2021 and spoke to historians to debunk the statement. * Purushottam Agarwal, a famous Hindi writer, authored a book about Jawaharlal Nehru titled 'Who is Bharat Mata?' He dismissed
this assertion and stated that it is incorrect. * We also spoke with author Piyush Babele, who penned a book about Nehru titled 'Nehru Myth and Truth'. He denied the claim and
stated that Nehru did not make that statement. * This claim was also shared by the head of the Bharatiya Janata Party's IT Cell Amit Malviya in 2015. In 2020, BJP's Sambit Patra
also repeated the same claim on TV channel, _Times Now_ in a show hosted by journalist Navika Kumar. CONCLUSION: An old claim about Nehru's religion has been revived and made to go
viral again.
