Gaps/lacunae In Indian History

[Guest]

Some historian mentioned that the western Arya languages like Kashmiri and Sindhi had a habit of using "H" instead of "S". So the inhabitants of the Sapta-Sindhu would have been calling themselves Hapta-Hindhus since ancient times. Hence the term Hindu came into being.

I don't have any proof for this theory. More research needs to be done on this issue to prove it conclusively.

We have always called ourselves Aryas since ancient times and India is Aryavarta.
We should use this term delibrately instead of the word "Indian", so it gets into common usage.

Further, the people in Kerala have used the word Aryan (instead of the Samskrta Arya) before the Europeans came. In Tamil/Malayalam Samskrta words like Mahadeva, Rama become Mahadevan, Raman. Similarly Arya must have become Aryan.

So "Aryan" is also our word only.

We should always call ourselves Aryas/Aryans.
