god, what the hell is wrong with u, jgn?? i've clarified myself at least 5 times already. pls read the lines carefully this time - "The actual term “Hindu” first occurs as an Old Persian geographical term (derived from the river Sindhu), to identify the people who lived beyond the River Indus. However, the modern origin is derived from the Arabic texts - Al-Hind (the Hind) referring to 'the land of the people of modern day India' - which then got vernacularised as Hindu." and if even after that u have any issues with it, go and write a mail to wikipedia. i did not write that stuff. man, u r one pain in the ass, u know that?
