I do not know whether i should laugh or cry on your GRREAT knowledge of history. 1)the name 'hindu' has come from river 'sindhu' along side which the religion is supposed to have originated 2) Buddha also was born to Hindu parents which is enough to prove for a moron like you that Hinduism is far too ancient compared to Buddhism or ANY ism for that matter. It is better to READ a few books and then jump on discussion boards rather than getting floodlights on your IGNORANCE!
