&lt;P&gt;Word &lt;I&gt;Hindu&lt;/I&gt; is derived from &lt;A title=Sanskrit href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanskrit"&gt;Sanskrit&lt;/A&gt; word &lt;I&gt;&lt;A class=mw-redirect title=Sindhu href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sindhu"&gt;Sindhu&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/I&gt; (Sanskrit: &lt;SPAN lang=sa xml:lang="sa"&gt;सिन्धु&lt;/SPAN&gt;). The word "Hindu" is in medieval &lt;A title="Persian language" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_language"&gt;Persian&lt;/A&gt; "Hindo" representing the ancient &lt;A class=mw-redirect title=Avestan href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avestan"&gt;Avestan&lt;/A&gt; &lt;I&gt;hendava&lt;/I&gt; (Sanskrit, &lt;I&gt;saindhava&lt;/I&gt;), a dweller on the Sindhu River (a.k.a. Indus). Using the word "Hindu" for "Sindhu", they referred to the people who lived near or across the Sindhu river and they called land further to Sindhu river as "Hindostan" (&lt;A class=mw-redirect title="Modern Persian" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Persian"&gt;Modern Persian&lt;/A&gt;: Hindustan) . The religion of the Indians (mispronounced as Hindus)&lt;SUP class=reference id=_ref-4&gt;&lt;A title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu#_note-4"&gt;[12]&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SUP&gt; later became known as "Hinduism" to outsiders, whereas Indians had no one term for their diverse set of religious practices. Eventually the word "Hindu" came into common use among Hindus themselves,&lt;SUP class=reference id=_ref-Bhaskarananda_1&gt;&lt;A title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu#_note-Bhaskarananda"&gt;[2]&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SUP&gt;
