Nope - water, air, food, etc can be generalized based on religion.
Any religious person who lives in India is included if you state they are Indian.
Technically, he’s not wrong. Reading the comments by Indians on this thread and on others, I’m going to write a piece on their national psyche. I think it’s time we have an important discussion/put a spotlight on it.

Looool javed shahib...u r hindustani. Stay there and stfuIndian poet and writer Javed Akhtar, who has been recently making controversial statements about Pakistan, has declared that the Urdu language doesn't belong to Pakistan, rather it is an Indian or Hindustani language.
His comments came while speaking about the importance of the language at an event to launch an Urdu poetry album, titled 'Shayarana - Sartaj' which he attended along with his wife Shabana Azmi, Hindustan Times reported.
During the ceremony, Akhtar said that Urdu does not belong to Pakistan or Egypt but to India. "This language did not come from outside, it is our own language, it is not spoken outside Hindustan," he said.
Akhtar added that Pakistan itself came into existence after partition from India, and that earlier it was only a part of India, so the Urdu language "wasn't spoken outside Hindustan".
The Indian songwriter said that Urdu is the local language of united India, but that Punjab played an important role in promoting and popularising it. "It is not correct to consider Urdu a Pakistani language," he reiterated.
“Punjab has a big contribution towards Urdu and it is the language of India! But why did you leave this language? Because of Partition? Because of Pakistan? Urdu should be given attention,” he said.
Commenting on Indians who believe Urdu is a language of Pakistan, he asked that if Pakistan declared all of Kashmir as a part of it, would they accept it? "Urdu language should be given importance, the new generation of India has forgotten the Urdu language. Today more focus is on English. We must speak in Hindi because it's our national language," he said.
Akhtar further said that it is wrong to link languages with religion as language is not related to religion but to regions. "Therefore, Urdu is not the language of any religion but of India," he explained.

Interesting how we totally ignore the history and quarrel about non issues such as the origin of a language, a custom, a dish or a garment etc. Urdu has been written as early as the 12th century, long before the modern state of India was established. It belonged to the Muslims of the region between Delhi and Lucknow. Unlike Hindi which is based on Sanskrit and Prakrit, Urdu heavily relies on Persian, Arabic and Turkish vocabulary; Most of the words are alien to the subcontinent.
Urdu in India is also associated with Islam hence avoided by the ever growing Hindu nationalists. Mr Akhtar should worry about the existence and continuation of this linguistic gem rather than making political claims to please his masters. Urdu is pride of Pakistan and it's widely accepted, loved and respected by all Urdu and non Urdu speaking communities in Pakistan.
