Another view of the source of the name Hindu is based on a derogatory meaning. It is said that, %u201CMoreover, it is correct that this name [Hindu] has been given to the original Aryan race of the region by Muslim invaders to humiliate them. In Persian, says our author, the word means slave, and according to Islam, all those who did not embrace Islam were termed as slaves.%u201D (Maharishi Shri Dayanand Saraswati Aur Unka Kaam, edited by Lala Lajpat Rai, published in Lahore, 1898, in the Introduction)

@asif

wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinduism

The Persian term Hind%u016B is derived from Sindhu, Sanskrit for the Indus River.[9] The Rig Veda mentions the land of the Indo-Aryans as Sapta Sindhu (the land of the seven rivers in northwestern South Asia, one of them being the Indus). This corresponds to Hapta H%u0259ndu in the Avesta (Vendidad or Videvdad: Fargard 1.18)%u2014the sacred scripture of Zoroastrianism. The term was used for those who lived in the Indian subcontinent on or beyond the "Sindhu".[10]
