Whenever the word Hindu comes up for discussion, at the very outset, it is announced that the word has its origin in the word Sindhu, the Sanskrit term for the river Indus. That statement is taken for granted as an axiom and repeated by all. It is not seen in the public domain that anybody has ever raised any doubt on that explanation. The current explanation has gone ex silentio. Arguments may be put forward to expose many logical loopholes in the present explanation. This book tries to highlight the logical inconsistencies of the present explanation and at the same time tries to provide a more consistent alternative explanation of the origin of the word Hindu that has a traceable root to the core values of that way of life.

"Vedic Hinduism" was gaven birth by 1028 Hymns of Rig-Veda, initially written in the 2nd half of the 15th Century BC. Rig-Veda created all major Gods of Vedic Hinduism, who were not at all "religious persons" by vocation. The Greatest God created by Rig-Veda, Indra, [original name Idrim] a boy of South-Western Iraq, born out of an unmarried mother, killed his biological father, served a long tern of Exile in law-less Habiru-infected land of Cannan for 7 years, managed to become a vassal ing of Alaka in the-then Mitanni Kingdom, assacinated the Assyrian King Ashur-Nadin-Ahe-I in 1433 BC, fled to India, achieved great success as an invader, destroyer of cities, mass-killers to settle migrant Indo-Aryans, with the help of his first-time cavalry-force seen by Indian. He declared himself King of all Gods, defied his 63 Cavalry Chiefs, his war-designer Ashvins, his Chief Priest and War-Associate Vrihaspati, his protector in Canaan was deified as God Rudra, his appointer as Vassal King of Alaka, as God Mitra, Indo-Aryan emperor of Babylon as God Varuna, his illicit sons Ribhus, mother Aditi, comrade Vishnu, consort Saranyu, and energy provider for his war-victories, hard drink, Soma-juice. Thus Hinduism started with worshipping of inavaders by the enslaved people of India, under the Indo-Aryan Dynastic rules and Seven Great Rishis, wrote 7 Manadalas of Original Rig-Veda, deifying the living humans as major Vedic Gods, mentioning the great gifts of wealth given by Indra.
