My name has a very long story. Sometimes I was called ‘Arya Vrat’, sometimes ‘Bharat’, sometimes ‘India’ and sometimes ‘Hindustan’. Do you know who used the word 'Hindu'?

Explanation:
The Christian friar Sebastiao Manrique used the term 'Hindu' in religious context in 1649. In the 18th century, the European merchants and colonists began to refer to the followers of Indian religions collectively as Hindus, in contrast to Mohamedans for Turks, Mughals and Arabs following Islam.
