The English term is from Greek Ἰνδία (Indía), via Latin India.
Latin India is coined first by Lucian, a Greek novelist of 2nd century. Indía in Byzantine (Koine Greek) ethnography denotes the region beyond the Indus (Ἰνδός) river in Pakistan. The name India is derived from Indus, which originates from the Old Persian word Hindu. The latter term stems from the Sanskrit word Sindhu, Indus River.
The name India was known in Old English, and was used in King Alfred's translation of Orosius.
In Middle English, the name was, under French influence, replaced by Ynde or Inde, which entered Early Modern English as Indie. The name India then came back to English usage from the 17th century onwards, and may be due to the influence of Latin, or Spanish or Portuguese.
Sanskrit indu "drop (of Soma)", also a term for the Moon, is unrelated, but has sometimes been erroneously connected, listed by, among others, Colonel James Todd in his Annals of Rajputana. Todd describes ancient India as under control of tribes claiming descent from the Moon, or "Indu" (referring to Chandravanshi Rajputs).

Pros and cons of Indian education system?
cons:
The Indian education system mainly focuses on cramming and not on the concepts.
Here the emphasis is more on getting good grades in the exams. Children are overburdened with theoretical knowledge with no trace of practical knowledge. As a result, when they are employed in firms requiring the use of practical knowledge, they are out of the race.
Secondly, sexual education is also shown a back door in India. People are shy in talking about sex, discussing with their children or friends. Although many schools have started introducing sex education in their curriculum, still there is a long way to go when each and every child of India would be having a complete knowledge about sex.
We here do not have the options of choosing the subjects we like unlike in USA. A child has to study a particular subject whether he likes it or not.
