Detailed Solution

The name Hindu is derived from the Indus river called Sindhu in Sanskrit.
The Sanskrit word Sindhu, derived from the name, was used to refer to both the Indus River and the lower Indus basin (modern Sindh, in Pakistan). The Old Persian equivalent of Sindhu was Hinduism. The Indus Waterway, also known as Sindhu in Sanskrit, is one of the major rivers of the Indo-Gangetic Plain in India. The Indus Waterway, also known as Sindhu in Sanskrit, has cognates in several Indic dialects. The word "Hindu" has its roots in the Sanskrit name for the Sindhu river. The Persians mistook the Indus Waterway region for Hindu because of a Sanskrit Sindhu error.
