Return to roots? Village where Naushad calls himself Dubey & Irshad is Pandey

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 10 December 2024 ()

They believe this bridges the communal divide, citing historical family ties and the use of similar titles in other communities without controversy. While some have traced their lineage back to Brahmin roots, they maintain they have no intention of converting to Hinduism.
