Hinduism is one of the oldest and greatest religion of this world. it originated near the sindhu(indus) river in kashmir. be it muslims or christinos both were excepted warm heatedly in india. in fact india is india for britsh. bharat for hindus and hindustan for muslims.

Just for your knowlodge... The word Hindu came form Hindustan.. all living in Hindustan are Hindus... also Muslims , Christians, Sikhs living in Hindustan are Hindus...... as we are living in Pakistan are Pakistanis.. If you ask your scholars they will tell you the religion you follow is Yehdas.. the word Hindu is a short for Hindustan.... This is no offence for anyone... even if someone from other religion gives me knowlodge about my religion, I will say Thank you to him...

two theories----- 1..the word ' hindustan ' is a misnomer for india..i ll tell ya why....hindustan in hindi when split to hindu and stan ie..hindu ka sthan or place for hindus...which is corse not the case ..indian people more commonlly refer to india in hindi as 'bharat' cause that is more apt name.....hindustan sounds colonial and is against the ideology of our constitution..'hindustan' came along with the mughals who called india that....anyways my point is that india is not just hindustan ..if u know what i mean...but yes we r still reffered to as that by pakistan...and a few stupid hindus who are delibrately 'oblivious' to the fact that india is a secular country and that is a reality that the 99% of people take pride on and the reality that the dont wannna accept and not mention exploit it to their benefit.india is such a melting point for so many cultures..besides hindus ..there are more muslims than pakistan....buddhism originated there and teh dalai lama has made it his home...india houses so many tibbetians u d be amazed...so may people come seekin thedalai lama...mother tereasa was there in the role of a missionary..she was a cult in herself....sikhs are there in abundance. so that s how life is for most of the people ...we r so used to be lilvin with so many religons and traditions around us...like i said 99% benenfit from it....but there s that faction too in all communities that is not too pleased with all that. india is a place where people from all over the world come seekin spirituality which is of course not the same is religon....for our present and upcomin generation religon is and never would be a criterion for anythig...trust me we have evolved beyond al that ..it s a secular country and thats a relaity and that s how it ll always be ....for the most part it is grrt... people are chillin out there..nobody cares bout it anymore

2.. some percive hinduism as a way of life rather than a religon and thus in the land of free people from a different communities are free to practice their faiths and beliefs and that is the concept of hinduism...so therfore hindustan according to them was coined cause it meant 'the place where this concept of hinduism is practiced.....that is the theory that the bjp government practices that is why it some of it members refer to india as hindustan...which of course is not derogatory for other faiths but is controversial and and subject to debate.
