The term "India" is derived from the River Indus, which was known as "Sindhu" in ancient Sanskrit. The Persians, who invaded the Indian subcontinent, referred to the region beyond the Indus River as "Hindus," which eventually evolved into "India" in Greek and Latin. Thus, it was the Persians who played a crucial role in popularizing the term that referred to the land beyond the Indus as part of their empire.
