As we are speaking of shastra and references. I have a question. Where

is the word " Hindu " found in ANY Vedic literature? Where has this word

come from? Why are Sanatan-dharmis (now) called Hindus? When did this

begin?

 

" Christianity " NAME stated with Christ, Buddhism started with Buddha, Islam

started with what's his name? But since when did we become " Hindus " ?

 

in 1967 I was initiated as a Vaishnav (Dvaitavadin) in Sanantan Dharma and guess

I became a " Hindu " then. But why?

 

This is a sincere question. Y/s, Richard

Dear Richardji,

 

I knew the answer, but it is worth going through following article...
