The word Punjab is also derived from Persian panch and aab (five waters).
Does it make any sense for Indians who are never tired of talking
about the glory of their past, their religion and their civilization
to call themselves “Hindus” when this word is not found in any Hindu
text? The foreigners gave this derogatory label “Hindu” to the
people of the Indian subcontinent.( there was never a Hinduism religion )

Besides, a Persian dictionary titled Lughet-e-Kishwari, published in
Lucknow in 1964, gives the meaning of Hindu as ‘chore (thief), dakoo
(dacoit), raahzan (waylayer), and ghulam (slave)’. Yet according to
an other dictionary named Urdu-Feroze-ul-Laghat – part 1 (p 615),
the meaning of the word Hindu is as under: In Turkish: chore,
raahzan and lutera (looter). In Persian: ghulam (slave), barda
(obedient servant), sia faam (black color) and kaalaa (black).

Hindu name has been given to the original Aryan race of the region by Muslim invaders to humiliate them. In Persian, says
our author, the word means slave, and according to Islam, all those
who did not embrace Islam were termed as slaves.” [Maharishi Shri
Dayanand Sarswati Aur Unka Kaam, edited by Lala Lajpat Rai,
published from Lahore in 1898, in the chapter of introduction.]

The word Hindu is found, of course, in Persian
literature. Hindu-e-falak means “the black of the sky’ and Saturn.”
In the Arabic language Hind not Hindu means nation. It is shameful
and ridiculous to have read all along in history that the name Hindu
was given by the Persians to the people of our country when they
landed on the sacred soil of Sindhu.” [R. N. Suryanarayan, Universal
Religion, p 1-2, published from Mysore in 1952.] Hindu meaning land of black peoples

The Arya natives of the Sindhu valley (also hind-desh) were called as "Hind people". There even exists the "Hindkush" mountain range (just google it!!) Later the natives settled at the bank of Indus river originating from the same region. But the Persians and English called them "Hindus" (Hind+Indus)..owing to their corrupted 'pronounciation'.
EVER WONDERED WHY FOR AGES HINDUS HAVE CHANTED "JAI HIND"?? Why not "Jai Hindus"?? Hope everyone got a clear answer!!

Wrong!!!!! The word HIND or HINDU existed much before the islamic invaders came to India to see Sindhu. WOrd HInd and Hindu comes several times in the inscriptions of Ashoka, in various tantras, scriptures and even in pre-islamic writings and inscriptions, giving utmost respect to the people of HIND. Its the invading muslims that propagated that Hindu word was given by them, thus try to cancel out identity.

i agree with rkrc that there is nothing offensive about the term hindus as such however...word h-indus came from indus valley (sindh)...being one of the most ancient civilzation of all times...even the name indian...emerged from indus valley meaning inhabitats of the ancient indus valley...its funny when hindus claim pakistan got its identity from india when its other way around...

The
hypothesis that Persians had difficulty in pronouncing Sindhu is
baseless and preposterous. For example, how do the Persians who are
Shia Muslims pronounce words like Shia, Sunni and Shariat? In
Punjabi there are many, many words of Persian origin, which start
with “s” and “sh.” For example, sardar or sirdar (leader), shaheed
(martyr), shhadat (martyrdom) shair (lion), sahir (town), sar (walk)
shayer (poet), shakar (sugar), sja (punishment), siahi (black ink),
siah(black) continue...
