Nukkies,

If someone has more information on how the word
'Hindu' was originated please share.

I read it somewhere that Persians termed everyone who
lived on the other side of the river 'Sindhu' as
'Hindu.
Persians pronounce 'S' as 'H' so they, So Hindus are
people who were beyond Sindhu in olden times, the
river in the border of India in olden times.
