We are the people from one of the oldest civilization on earth. I follow the ancient religion that man kind has ever known.. But wait. !! what is my religion ??? . I am a Hindu and the place i am living is known as Hindustan..
But the fact is, there is no mention of Hinduism or about the word Hindu in my holy books. then from where this name Hindu came from ???. In Mahabharata, Ramayana or in Bhagavad Gita i did not find the word HINDU. If any one will go to other major religious books he can easily find the name of that religion in those books. But it is exceptional in case of HINDU.
From several thousands of years we used to follow the great Sanatana Dharma or else known as "Vedic religion" .Then how suddenly "Sanatana Dhrma" has changed to Hinduism ??.

Here is The Fact :
The word Hindu has came from the river "Sindhu". Our whole identity has been derived from this river.
when Persians first came to this piece of land they find it difficult to pronounce the word "Sindhu". So over the time they pronounce it as HINDU and the people who used to live here also knows as Hindus. That is how name of my religion Hinduism came.

Up to this it clear how important the river Sindhu is for us..Even our national anthem also contain this name(Punjab Sindhu, Gujarati, Maratha..).
But do you know, where this great river is flowing now ??? .
The most tragic part of the great Indian partition is, the river Sindhu also knows as Indus river is not a part of India any more. Its flow through Pakistan.. How Amazing ... some thing for which we are known for is not belong to us any more..
Partition of sub continent and creation of Pakistan has changed every thing. it steals my name from me.. but to whom i should blame for this.. don't know.. i have no answer... only thing i know is, i have lost my Identity for ever..
