Is Krishna a Hindu name?
Krishna is a Sanskrit word found in the ancient Vedic scriptures. It is the proper name of the Supreme Personality of Godhead Who is described throughout the Vedas, and Who appeared on this planet 5,000 years ago. As a side note, the word "Hindu" is not of Indian origin. Medieval Muslim invaders, unable to to pronounce "Sindhu" as a name of a river they were crossing, pronounced it as "Hindu", and named the people who lived on the other side of the river Sindhu as "Hindus". An accurate term to describe the civilization and culture of India is "Vedic civilization", or "Vedic culture", as Indian culture was grounded in and regulated by the teachings of the ancient Vedic scriptures.

Importance of inscription and coins in Indian history?
The study of ancient and medieval Indian coins brought to light the names of many kings about whose existence there was no literary or inscriptional evidence. For example the recent discovery of Kotalingala coins in the Karimnagar district of Andhra brought out the coins of unknown Kings namely Gobada, Narana, Kamvayasa , Sirivayasa and Samagopa. These kings ruled part of Andhra after the fall of Mauryan empire and they preceded Satavahanas. It is also true of medieval period when kings like Yildis and Qubacha ruled parts of Northwestern India during the rule of some Delhi sultans. These kings were known to the historians as governors of those provinces but their coins prove that they were independent rulers. Same is true of many such kings in different parts of India who came to be known through their coin finds. The coins also helped in corroborating the information provided in puranas. Vayu, Vishnu, Brahmanda, Baghavata and Matsya puranas mention about Satavahana kings and coins of some of those kings found in different parts of Deccan support the puranas. But facts provided by coins seem to be more accurate than puranas. For example name of the first king of this dynasty is mentioned variously as Chismaka, Sindhuka, Balyhita, Simuka etc in different Puranas but coins name him as Chimuka which must be correct since they were issued during his rule while puranas were written centuries later and hence many inaccuracies crept into them. Coins of some rulers of the family were found which were missed out in the Puranas namely Kumba and Karna. Hence coins help in reconstructing our ancient history much more accurately than what is possible from other sources. The coins also help historians in ascertaining the religious leanings of those kings - neha sharma(new delhi)

What was the name of the polytheistic religion created in ancient India after the Aryan invasion?
First I don't buy the theory of Aryan Invasion of India[AIT]. The religion created by the Vedic Aryans was not polytheistic in principle. The gods of The Vedas are personifications of the stages of the Creation Process of the Universe.If one could see a kind of polytheism in the Puranic Form of the Sanatana Dharma, that is more recent than the Vedic Religion of the Aryans. The definition of an Aryan is not a race but the acceptance of The Vedas as the extra-temporal authority.
