Sahil was born into a religious family and was very religious himself for a very long time.
While growing up, Sahil was interested in learning more and more about Islam. He used to watch videos of Islamic preachers like Zakir Nair.
In his teen years, Sahli was part of a Tablighi Jamaat. During that time he got to watch videos of some Salafi scholars and soon he converted from Tablighi Jamaat to Salafi Jamaat.
Sahli used to give Daʿwah to Non-Muslims wherever he found it possible like in his company and online forums.
Slowly he started to see the flaws in Islam and his interest in Islam started to decrease. He started skipping praying at times.
During the lockdown in 2020, Sahil started to doubt Islam and had questions about the teachings of the religion and decided to leave Islam.
He read Islamic books like the Quran and Hadith but found many teachings unsettling.
Islam divides people into halves, the Muslims and the Kafirs. He believes that people should be differentiated based on their good and bad deeds and not their religious choice.
Sahil is the only member of his family who has renounced his faith in Islam.
When Sahil decided to leave Islam, his family called an Alim Sahib so he could ask his questions and his faith in Islam re-establishes. However, the answers he received were not satisfactory to him.
Initially, his family members did not like his idea of leaving Islam and stopped talking to him.
He then decided to start activism to enlighten people about the shortcomings of Islam that are preached in modern times so that sections of society can be uplifted.
His main channel on YouTube was banned in India on 6 July 2024 leading to the #UnblockExMuslimSahilIndia trend on Twitter (now X).
