We call him indeed a Hindijan.
This line playfully adapts the famous Gujarati bhajan, "Vaishnav Jan To Tene Kahiye," which defines a true devotee through their compassionate actions. By saying "Hindi Jan To Tene Kahiye," it sets the stage to define what it truly means to be a 'Hindi person'—not just by language or origin, but by their character and values. It suggests that a true Hindi person, much like a true Vaishnav, would embody universal virtues: understanding others' pain, helping those in need, speaking kindly, and living with humility, thereby upholding a rich cultural and moral legacy.
