HINDU

The word HINDU has its origin in Sanskrit literature. In the Rig Veda, India was referred to as the country of “Sapta Sindhu”, i.e. the country of seven great rivers. The word “Sindhu “refers to rivers and sea and not merely to the specific river called the Sindhu (Indus) , now in Pakistan. In Vedic Sanskrit, according to ancient dictionaries, “sa” was pronounced as “ha”. Thus “Sapta Sindhu” was s as “Hapta Hindu”; similarly, “Sarswati” was pronounced as “Haravyati” or “Harahwati”. This is how the word “HINDU” came into being. The ancient Persians also referred India as “Hapta Hind”, as recorded in their classic “Bem Riyadh”. That is why some scholars came to believe that the word “HINDU” had its origin in Persia. The Greeks who invaded India under Alexander the Great, dropped the “H” completely and used the name Indoos or Indus which later led to the formation of the word “India”.
