About 2500 years ago, when the Greeks first reached the river plains of Punjab,they borrowed the name of the region from the Persians and simply modified it to !ndos?. Indos? later morphed into ?Indus? in Latin ? by which name the river isstill known in the West. The Romans began to call the whole land mass after thisriver and thus the name ?India? came to stay
