Based on Chapter 7, analyze the contradictions in Sai Baba's religious identity that made it impossible to classify him as either Hindu or Muslim.

Chapter 7 extensively details the ambiguous nature of Sai Baba's religious identity. If one were to call Him a Hindu, He appeared like a Muslim (Yavana), but if called a Muslim, He possessed the noble marks of a Hindu. Physically, the chapter notes that His ears were pierced in the Hindu fashion, yet He was also circumcised, a Muslim custom. His place of residence was a mosque, a Muslim practice, yet within that mosque, He kept a sacred fire (Dhuni) burning day and night, allowed the ringing of bells and blowing of conches, and permitted ritual worship—all of which are distinctly Hindu practices. This made it so that not an "atom’s worth of trace could be found" of His origins, presenting Him as a holy incarnation beyond sectarian labels.
