The official name of the Republic of
India was derived from the Sanskrit
name 'Sindhu' that referred to Indus
River.
By the time the Persians conquered both, the
then Indian subcontinent and Greece in 5th
century BCE, 'Sindhu' became 'Hindus' to
mark the 'land of Hindus'.
From the Greek Herodotus (4th century BC)
'Hindus' evolved to 'Indos' and made its first
ever appearance in Old English in 9th
century.
Finally, in 17th century as 'Indos' made way
to Modern English the name 'India' came
into existence.
Although the name was inspired from the Indus, the river now runs
mostly through Pakistan, Jammu & Kashmir in India and western
Tibet.
'Hind' is the Persian equivalent of Iranian
'Sindh' that refers to the Indo-Aryans .
'stan' in Persian means 'lan'd or 'country,'
much like 'sthana' in Sanskrit that means
'place'.
During the British Raj in India, the term
'Hind' was widely used for the north and
northwestern subcontinents of India where
Indo-Aryan culture was strongly based
