Our dear shakeel and the word "mankind" or bashar in the Qur'an

If you are looking for the word bashar or mankind/humanity in the Qur'an, read Qur'an 42:51 and it reads

wa ma kana libashar an yukalimuhu Allah ila wahyan aw min waeai' hijab aw yursil rasulan fayawhi biidhnahu mayasha' Or

and it was for a human/mankind that Allah speaks to him except as inspiration, or from behind a curtain, or by sending a meesenger who utters with his permission.

So your Allah is saying that he conveys his message to (a) mankind/humanity (see Q14:4)

1. Via wahy or insipration.

2. Via speaking from behind a curtain

3. Via sending a messneger who utters the words of Allah (as in the case of Islam)

Do you know what this means? It means:

1. Allah sent Muhammad to his people the Hijazi Arabs as per q14:4 to utter his word and he did not use wahy or speaking to Muhammad from behind a curtain, but one must assume that other bashar have communicated with Allah either through wahy or from behind a curtain

2. Bashar means mankind/humanity only.

3. That Allah sends his message in various ways and in the case of Islam he sent Muhammad the rasul to convey his message to the Hijazi Arabs only as per Q14:4!

See what happens when you are clueless, about Arabic and the poor theology of your Allah? And the question now is who is really your bashar who was/were sent to your Hindu ancestors and was/were he/them supposed to communicate with Allah via wahy or from behind a curtian because Muhammad was for sure not sent to your ancestors and he was only sent to his people the Hijazi Arabs?
