The term India is derived from the river Indus.
The term Hindu was taken from the Indus and used by Arabs and Iranians. They used this term for the people living on the eastern side of the Indus river. They attached the geographical notion for the term Hindu, but this word has now changed into a religious tradition. And later, the word included the people who follow Hinduism as the main religion. India now has people who majorly follow Hinduism. The minority group includes the people who follow the faith, like Islam, Christianity, et cetera.
