India is called "Bharat". Another name is 'Hindustan'. The modern English name`India' is derived from the River 'Indus'. Home of the early settlers called 'Aryans' who worshiped the river Indus as 'Sindhu'. in medieval times, the Muslim invaders from Persia called the people of Sindhu as 'Hindu'. Thus, historically the name`Hindustan' (India) and refers to the land of the Hindus. wow! amazing story.. The funny thing is.. that Indus flows in Pakistan now. LOL.

You don't write India in "Hindu" as the word Hindu actually represents a person belonging to Hindu religion but rather in HINDI which is the predominant language of Hindus. So, in Hindi, India is called BHARAT in Devanagari Script used to write Hindi. India is also called HINDUSTAN in Urdu language - a legacy of Mughal rulers over India for many centuries.SandyKSam

The word, "India" is ancient. We don't know who came up with it, but here is how the name evolved. -The ancient sanskrit name for 'river' was 'sindhi', from which the Old Persian word, "hindu" was taken. From hindu came the word indos, from which the Indus River is named. In Greek and in Latin, someone who lived in the region of the Indus River was said to be of India, from the river's name.
