Description

Byline: Maj Asif Jehangir Raja The word Hindu is Persian name of the Indus River (Sanskrit Sindhu) running in northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent. The Persian term was further loaned into Arabic as Al-Hind referring to the land of the people who live across river Indus, and into Greek as Indos, and ultimately into English as India. By the 13th century, Hindustan emerged as a popular alternative name of India, meaning the "land of Hindus". As used in the Constitution of India, the word "Hindu" is attributed to all persons professing any Indian religion (i.e. Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism or Sikhism). In common use today; it refers to an adherent of Hinduism. The term Hinduism was formed around the year 1830 to denote the culture and religion of the high caste Brahmans in contrast to other religions. It was soon appropriated by the Hindus in India themselves as they tried to establish a national, social and cultural identity opposed to European colonialism in India.
