'HINDU'' DOES NOT COME FROM ''SINDHU''
How many times have you explained that the name of your religion is a
concoction invented by the Persians who called the people who lived
beyond the Sindhu River ''Hindus,'' mispronouncing the ''S''?
Recant.
A. Krishna Kumar of Hyderabad, India, explains. ''This [Sindhu/Hindu]
view is untenable since Indians at that time enviably ranked highest
in the world in terms of civilization and wealth would not have been
without a name. They were not the unknown aborigines waiting to be
discovered, identified and Christened by foreigners.''
He cites a more solid argument from the book Self-Government in India
by N. B. Pavgee, published in 1912. The author tells of an old Swami
and Sanskrit scholar Mangal Nathji, who found an ancient Puran known
as Brihannaradi in the Sham village, Hoshiarpur, Punjab. It
contained the verse:
HIMALAYAM SAMARABHYA YAVAT BINDUSAROVARAM
HINDUSTHANAMITI QYATAM HI ANTARAKSHARAYOGATAH
Kumar translates it as:
''The country lying between the Himalayan mountain and Bindu Sarovara
(Cape Comorin sea) is known as Hindusthan by combination of the first
letter 'hi' of 'Himalaya' and the last compound letter 'ndu' of the
word 'Bindu.'''
