India is the name of this region used in roman history and books.
The "sindh" is the name river indus. "sind" in persian and arabic accent becomes "hind" when roman get to know about "hind" from persians and arabics, they say it "ind" as they cannot say "hind". Now sind to hind to ind.
Now river name in roman ends with "us" so "indus" and country name ends with "ia" so india.
