According to your source

Naan as known today originates from Mesopotamia, ancient Egypt.

The word Naan originates from Iran.

Anyway you might as well try to make the case that any Indian dish that contains tomatoes, potatoes, chillies, squash, and much else isn't really Indian because they didn't exist there until a few hundred years ago.
