I am retarded and missed the part where Mutahar mentions that this uncle of his is a THEORETICAL PHYSICIST!
After giving it another go I have concluded, to the best of my ability, that I could not find a single indian man who has held a teaching position which involved theoretical physics at the University of North Carolina before 2016.
There were no visiting scholars, adjunct faculty or postdoctoral researchers which were indian men which were involved in specifically theoretical physics that joined the staff before 2016, which is around the time that Mutahar made the statement.
I would also encourage other kiwis to look and maybe prove me wrong.
His claims about his own father are even more outrageous and should be easier to verify.
