The word Hindu is used to identify Indians. The right word is Sindu, which means people of the Indus Valley.

The Muslim invaders pronounce Sindus as Hindus to identify the Indian populace, not their religion.

All Indians irrespective of their religion whether they are Christians Muslims or Buddhists or Sikhs are Sindus (Hindus) means Indians.

The word Hinduism was first used by English writers in the 19th century to describe the multiplicity of faiths of the people of India.

Encyclopedia Britannica says: ~ The word Hinduism was first used by British writers in the year 1830 to describe the multiplicity of the faiths of the people of India excluding the converted Christians. (Volume -20, Reference -581)

Swami Vivekananda says: - The word Hindu is a misnomer; the correct word should be a Vedantin, a person who follows the Vedas.

The word Hindu (Sindu) was used initially to describe the people of India; it was never used to describe religion. Thus, Hinduism (Sindhu or Indus Valley culture) is not a religion it is the way of life of Indus Valley people with different castes, creeds, cultures, traditions, and ideologies of the different parts of India under a single roof.

Thus, a uniform civil code is very much necessary to bring universal brotherhood among Indian people which will help to create unity in diversity in the Indian populace.

The ancient peoples of India belong to the Vedic Religion or Santana Dharma, therefore, Sanatana Dharma has nothing to do with present-day Hinduism.

The ancient peoples of the Indus Valley of Undivided India were called Hindus by Muslim invaders.

Hinduism is a name introduced by British Rule in India by introducing Hindu law which is applied to different castes founded by different founders at different times.

All these castes have produced a great many saints, prophets, and Jagad gurus. If they had been born in Hinduism, in all probability they would have been deified in the same way as the founders of several Hindu sects.

Founders of caste-based parmaparas did great harm by projecting their caste as Sanatana Dharma or Vedic religion.

These Laws introduced by British rule to divide and rule policy have not only harmed the Indian populace and great crime on humanity.

Hinduism which is based on the caste system is not ancient Sanatana Dharma or Vedic religion because Rig Veda bars the caste system.

Sanatana Dharma has no founders whereas Hinduism identified with different founders at different times.

Prior to Sage Sankara in the 8th century, there was no Advaita in Santana Dharma. Santana Dharma or Vedic religion has no founders whereas Advaita and qualified Advaita and Dvaita are identified with their founders. All of them have non-Vedic rituals barred by the Vedas.

Dualism came only in the 12th century. The orthodox Advaita and Dvaita are adulterated add-ons. Both Advaita and Dvaita schools claim that they are based on the Vedas and they condemn each other with the Upanishads and Puranic citations and try to prove they are right and others are wrong.

The religion, including orthodox Advaita, has nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth because they worship idols, human worship, and symbol worship and indulge in non-Vedic rituals barred by the Vedas.

Remember:~

All Hindus indulge in non-Vedic practices barred by the Vedas introduced by the different founders of the different sects of Hinduism at different times, whereas the Vedic religion or Santana Dharma is ancient and has no founder.

Hinduism is not Santana Dharma or Vedic religion. Hinduism is not a religion. Rather it is a group of castes found within India that share common beliefs while still remaining very different.

The ancient peoples of India belong to the Vedic Religion or Santana Dharma, therefore, they have nothing to do with present-day Hinduism.

The ancient peoples of the Indus Valley of Undivided India were called Hindus by Muslim invaders.

Hindu idols or deities or temples have nothing to do with the Vedic religion or Santana Dharma. Vedic people ate beef.

The Hindu practices of idol worship, temple worship, and a ban on beef eating were introduced many centuries later.

As one peeps into the annals of religious history he finds that Hinduism which exists today is not a continuation of the Vedic religion, and it has no real historical foundation. Hinduism is of a much later origin.

As per the researchers, the two faiths the Hindu belief system has drifted miles away from the Vedic faith so the two seem to be two distinct faiths.

It is not difficult to discover that there is no noticeable continuity of Hinduism from the Vedic religion or Santana Dharma. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
