The Asokan inscriptions (3rd century B.C.), repeatedly use expressions like
'Hinda' for 'India' and 'Hinda loka' for 'Indian nation'. 'Hinda' and its
derivative forms are used more than 70 times in the Ashokan inscriptions. For
instance in the Jaugadha, separate rock edict II, the lines 3 &4, read,

(All men are my people. I desire for my people that they may be provided with all
welfare and happiness. I desire for my people, including the people of Hind and
beyond and I desire for all men.)
The Edict further, says in lines 7 & 8,

(Dhamma may be followed and and the people of Hind and beyond may be
served.)
The Ashokan inscriptions establish the antiquity of the name 'Hind' for India to atleast third century B.C.
In Persepolis Pahlvi inscriptions of Shahpur II (310 A.D.) the king has the titles
shakanshah hind shakastan u tuxaristan dabiran dabir, "king of Shakastan,
minister of ministers of Hind Shakastan and Tukharistan".6
The epigraphic evidence from the Achaemenid, Ashokan and Sasanian Pahlvi
records, puts a question mark on the false theory about the term 'Hindu' having
originated in Arab usage in the 8th century A.D. Literary evidence takes the
antiquity of the word 'Hindu' back to 5000 B.C.

  • Nice video.i too don't believe that Arabs mispronounced 'Hindu' instead of 'Sindu'. if they cannot pronounce 'si' in sindu. there should not be any word which sounds 'si' in Arabic.but there are several words,even in Koran which sounds 'si'. there are even Towns and cities around Arabia with the sound 'Si'

    example : sinai peninsula near egypt. Atleast they could comfortably pronounce 'Shi'. hence it is lame to say 'Hindu' is an arabic word of 'sindu'. so 'hindu' is not a foreign word.

  • Greatest lie spread against Hindus

    1. Aryan Invasion theory

    2.Hindu is foreign word coined by muslims \Arabs or Persians who cant say S

    If Persians or Arabs couldnt say S then Persia would have become PERHIA!!. Why is it not PERHIA?

    The word Hindu appears in numerous Sanskrit scriptures.

    People who are colonial slaves will believe any lies that their colonial masters tell them

  • Pranam, I express my deep sense of gratitude and deeply indebted to the Vedic Scholors who prepared this Vedio and explained the reality. I am thankful to for giving befitting reply to the half baken alien religious persons who are denigrating Hinduism. Alas, see the fate of Islam it is surrendering to Hindu Scriptures for its survival and existance, thanks for yours magnificient effort, probably conciet and decietful persons twisting the Hindu Scriptures are licking the wounds.

  • Yes, there are a lot of preconceptions about the name Hindu. But not only the Muslims think that way, many people thinks that Hindu was a low way that the colonialists used for to treat the people of India.

    A good commentary.

    Congratulations.

  • Thanks..Learned for the first time the meaning of the sanskrit word Indu.

  • on the right, in "related videos" your are seeing 2 videos by "Politactic". he is a "JEW" who is plotting propaganda in youtube. beware of such Propagandists.

  • hindhu,sindhu the eternal reality is never dependent on crazes an fazes ,we are in kali-yuga all is as its meant to be by the will of god.this truth we label as belonging to this an that nation actually comes from the eternal realm beyond the material worlds and its planets and universes and is the natural state of all beings. some of us know it some dont,regardless all of us are coming from the same source.and for those sincerely searching for the truth there will always be an answer

  • true eternal transcendence lies beyond the material ever changing cosmic manifestation ,true transcendental knowledge is beyond the modes of material nature and is described as confidential by the author of the vedas ,Vyasadeva,such knowledge is only available to those connected with the suppreme via Disciplic succession. all else is on the mental plane and is mental concoction due to its temporary nature and fabrication by the material mind and intelligence

  • This is the best video contain explanation with the proof for the word "Hindu" in Arabic text.

    Thanks for all this.

  • Indu==moon, no doubt in that.

    In malayalam we still use Indu for moon, considered as more poetic in classic literature. I know this is true for many other languages in India too.

  • wow, uthisth bharatha.....

  • Awesome video!!! 5 Stars!!!
