Answer 2

Answer:

• The ancient name of Indus was Sindhu as mentioned in Vedas.

• The Iranians and Greek pronounced Sindhu as Hindu.

• Because, they could not pronounce the letter "s". Hence, "s" was replaced by "h".

• The land beyond the Sindhu river is known as "Hindustan".

• The people who live in "Hindustan" are known as "Hindus".

• In this way, the words "Hindustan" and "Hindus" were derived.

• The religion followed by Hindus is known as "Hinduism".

• Not only Iranians and Greeks but also Arabs pronounced it as "Hind".

• Ziauddin Barani, a Persian traveller also mentioned "India" as "Hindustan" in his books.
