Defining Mushrik
As we know we cannot say someone kafir unless he himself admits he is kafir..as only Allah and Prophets of Allah knows who is kafir or not…normal human being cannot know who is kafir…my question is does same ruling applies to mushrik..like we cannot say Hindu person( who do shirk )mushrik as we don’t know he is deliberately denying the truth or not..am I correct?

It is the same. The one who admits that one believes in multiple gods or polytheism, one is a polytheist.
The one who believes in pantheism, is not a confessed polytheist. And we cannot call him polytheist.

Hindus as per my knowledge do believe in multiple gods..so if some Hindu says he believe in multiple gods can we call him mushrik…or we cannot label him mushrik…as we don’t know he is deliberately denying the truth or not..same as in case of kafir..as sometimes some people don’t become muslims when we give them Quran to read ..but we cannot label them kafir as we don’t know if they deliberately denying the truth or not

2nd explanation:
we can label person who do polytheism as mushrik…but we cannot term him kafir as we don’t know if he has deliberately denied the truth or not..Also we can be close friends with modern mushriks (our Hindu brothers)as Quran is not mentioning about modern mushriks…Quran is only mentioning about mushriks present at prophet times who were confirmed kafir( deliberately denied the truth).
Which one is correct first or second explanation?

The word Mushrik means the one who believes in multiple gods. so it is obvious that if a person confesses that he believes in multiple gods, he calls himself polytheist, in Urdu Mushrik. So we can call him mushrik but we cannot call him Kafir, which means to deny deliberately a truth.
