What is the meaning of Hindu?
A Hindu is a follower of Hinduism. However the word Hinduism is what is worshipped by Hindus so it is a circular definition. Hindu is just a mispronunciation of Sindhu (as in the "Sindhu River") There is nothing circular about this. Sindhu is the Aryan name of River Indus. Central Asians and Iranian Aryans could not pronounce the consonant 's', and changed it into 'h' (Hendu for Sindhu and 'Hapta-Hendu' for 'Sapta-Sindhu'; the land of seven rivers, the states of Punjab in Pakistan and India, and Haryana in India). And they addressed the people who lived in regions near River Indus or East of it as 'Hindus'. And the Europeans termed religion of hindus as 'hinduism'.
How did Hinduism get named?
The term Hindu was coined by the Persian invaders who pronounced Sindhu (river) as Hindu. This term was used for the people who lived in the Indian sub-continent or beyond the Sindhu river. It was more of a geographical identification rather than the name of a religion. The better term for "Hinduism" (the religion) is Sanatana Dharma or the eternal law. Additionally, you'll not see any instance of the word "Hindu" appearing in the Vedas (scriptures).
What country does Hindu Kush cover most of Did the aryans come from Hindu kush mountains?
Hindukush Mountains divide Afghanistan from East to West leaving a smaller Northern portion and a large Southern portion. The word means 'mountains towards the side of the land of hindus' (Afghanistan till 1,000 AD had a hindu kingdom). Aryans came into India from Afghanistan and other countries of Central Asia, Kyrghystan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Iran, etc. It was a general Aryan movement from Andronovo region to East and West. In West, the Ionians (Yavanas) and other tribes reached Greece and further. BTW, I am a kashmiri brahmin. The person from whom my geneology is considered to have begun, Upamanyu, was from Kamboja, which is the general area of Kabul. He has a verse in RigVeda and is mentioned to have met Lord Krishna in Bhagawat Purana. Prior to that, Kambojas are supposed to have come from Uttara Kamboja (the northern Kamboja) which must have been farther away. In a similar way, the tribe which fought the Mahabharata War, the Kauravas, are mentioned to have come from Uttara Kuru (North Kuru, is that Kurgan?). And the Madras are mentioned to have come from Uttara Madra (North Madra) and settled in Punjab. The father of the five Pandava brothers married a princess of the Madras (Madri), and the youngest brothers (Nakul and Sahadev) were her sons. The Zoroastrian (another branch of Aryans) Avesta mentions thirteen homelands of Aryans after leaving their first, Arianam Vaejo, most of which are identified with places in Central Asia and the fifteenth is Hapta-Hendu (Sapta-Sindhu, the land of seven rivers, i.e., North-Western India).
Was Pakistan part of the Ancient Persian Achaemenian Empire?
Ancient Pakistan's history unravels itself with the Persians under Darius (522 B.C.- 486 B.C.) who made this region a province of Achaemenian Empire (or may be earlier under his grand-father Cyrus). Darius affirms this in his inscriptions at Persepolis and Naksh-e-Rustam mentioning Hapta Hindva (seven rivers) as a province of his Empire. The conquered provinces of the Punjab and Sindh were considered to be the richest and most populous satrapy of the Empire, to the revenues of which they were required to pay the enormous tribute of a million sterling. This 15th (20th) Satrapy of Darius' Empire extended up to Beas - almost the same area as now covered by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. A Pakistani contingent fought in Xerxes' army on his expedition to Ancient Greece. Herodotus mentions that the Indus satrapy supplied cavalry and chariots to the Persian army. He also mentions that the Indus people were clad in armaments made of cotton, carried bows and arrows of cane covered with iron. Herodotus states that in 517 B.C. Darius sent an expedition under Scylax to explore the Indus.As part of the Persian Empire, Pakistan had a flourishing economy; inter-regional trade developed considerably and several caravan cities sprang up. Charsadda on the Peshawar road and Taxila near Rawalpindi were supposed to have been two of the many centres of trade and intellectual activity during the pax-Persica of the latter half of the 6th century B.C."The materials available to the scholar today indicate that the northwestern part of the sub-continent was an economically advanced province in the last centuries of the first millennium B.C. to the early first millennium of our era. Herodotus describes the Indians inhabiting the part of the sub-continent under the Achaemenids as the most numerous of all peoples known to him, a people who "paid (to the Achaemenids) a tribute which was great in Comparison to the others." (The Peoples of Pakistan). As such, as part of the Achaemenian Empire she became involved in Middle East politics. Since Darius had defeated the Greeks extending the western frontiers of his Empire up to River Danube, and since Pakistani troops had participated in this campaign and in another war against Greece under Xerxes (486-465 B.C.), when Alexander came out to take revenge for his country's previous defeats he made it a point to attack and annex Pakistan. The fact that Pakistan was part of the Persian Empire till Alexander's time is proved by the call which Darius III, the last of the Achaemenian dynasty was able to issue to troops of the satrapy when making his final stand at Arbela to resist the Greek invasion of Persia by Alexander. According to the historian, Arrian, some of the forces of Indus people were grouped with their neighbours, the Bactrians and the Sogdians, under the command of the satrap of Bactria at Arbela against Alexander.An important point to be noted here is that even during the period Pakistan was under the Achaemenian Empire from the time of Darius, about 500 B.C. to the arrival of Alexander in 327 B.C., i.e., a span of almost two hundred years, it enjoyed complete autonomy. Its administration was under several local rulers (rajas) who merely acknowledged the suzerainty of the Persians. During the last days of the Achaemenians when the monarchy had become decadent autonomy was asserted to a still greater extent."Alexander's invasion of the Punjab (326 B.C.) is sometimes mentioned as marking the beginning of Greek influence upon the Indian continent. Though this statement is in a sense true, it is probably more accurate to say that because the Achaemenian Empire included the north-west and Alexander took it over in conquering that empire, it was natural that Hellenism, on developing in that Empire after Alexander's time, should enter the North-West. (Present-day Pakistan).
