Hi,
Long ago, around in 2003, i read a street tract about this subject. How do this religion got this name as Hinduism?? how we Indians became Hindus?? Who gave this name to us?? Is there anything mentioned like this in vedas or so called Hindus scriptures?? But nothing mentioned as HINDU in any scriptures.
I understood this from that tract..! Hindus name was given by the Foreign rulers / countries who ruled Bharat. The people who lived beside the river of Sindhus are called as Hindus. So, the religion Hinduism is actually called as sanathana dharma. Meaning is "An external way". Its not a religion.
What is your idea on this??
