Truth:

Both traditions strongly prohibit speaking ill of others behind their backs. In Islam, Gheebah (backbiting) is compared to eating the flesh of one's dead brother. The Quran states: "And do not spy or backbite each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead? You would detest it" (49:12). The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: "Backbiting is worse than adultery." In Hinduism, Ninda (backbiting) and gossip are considered sins. The Manusmriti and other texts prohibit speaking ill of others. Both traditions teach: 1) Don't speak ill of others, 2) Protect others' reputation, 3) If you must speak, say it directly, 4) Gossip destroys relationships, 5) Guard your tongue. The Quran warns against backbiting, and Hindu scriptures teach that controlling speech is essential. Both view protecting others' honor as a duty and view gossip as destructive to individuals and communities.
