Nambi Narayanan said, ‘Is it a sin to be a Brahmin. I am not a Brahmin, that is a different question. If a brahmin is an ally, would you consider him small? There are so many Brahmins who gave their lives for the country. Not just one. I can give you the full list. So the only thing is that we are promoting the issue unnecessarily.’ Nambi, who was wrongly removed at the time of his job, said that he has no relation with any party. If someone is raising his name for politics, then he should not do so.

Former Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) scientist Nambi Narayanan has given a befitting reply to critics who targeted his Hindu identity as depicted in his biopic ‘Rocketry: The Nambi Effect’ . A video is going viral on social media in which Nambi Narayanan can be seen explaining his point and asking ‘if being a Hindu is a sin?’

What Narayanan said in the video

In the video, Nambi Narayanan says, ‘It sounds like a joke sometimes. Someone wrote a review, in which he said that Nambi Narayanan is shown as a Hindu. Nambi Narayanan is doing some festivities. Reciting good morning. And all the other things, he is ‘Brahmin’; He is a Hindu. Hindutva is being shown. I want to ask you that I am Hindu. I mean I have no shame in saying this. Is it a shame to be a Hindu?’

Shown in the movie because he is a Hindu 

Nambi further said that he is a Hindu and hence he is depicted as a Hindu in the film as well. They could not be shown as Muslim or Christian. He further said that he was not a Brahmin, and even if he was, why would people want to cut him (Brahmin).

Nambi Narayanan said, ‘Is it a sin to be a Brahmin. I am not a Brahmin, that is a different question. If a brahmin is an ally, would you consider him small? There are so many Brahmins who gave their lives for the country. Not just one. I can give you the full list. So the only thing is that we are promoting the issue unnecessarily.’

Nambi, who was wrongfully removed at the time of his job, said that he has no affiliation with any party. If someone is raising his name for politics, then he should not do so. Nambi said that he has received praise from both PM Narendra Modi and Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and the politics of both are different.
