> her

I think you're extrapolating. Author is very clearly just talking about an individual, not a group. No need to get outraged.

But he is, he characterized that person as a Hindu,he didn't say a friend or a neighbour or whatever else he could have described her by.

The implication in labelling her hindu is that this a common or known position amongst Hindus?.

I have no idea why he chose that signifier to refer to the individual he was talking about, that was also confusing to me, but it doesn't follow that he means "literally everyone who is also Hindu", and I didn't jump to that conclusion.

I understood it as a common or at least well known view amongst hindus, which seems a reasonable interpretation of the statement made.
