All Standard reference books agree that the name "Hindu Kush" of the mountain range in Eastern Afganistan means "Hindu Slaughter" or "Hindu Killer". History also reveals that until 1000 A.D. the area of Hindu Kush was a full part of Hindu cradle. More likely, the mountain range was deliberately named as "Hindu Slaughter" by the Moslem conquerors, as a lesson to the future generations of Indians.
