<!--QuoteBegin-mitradena+Dec 9 2005, 11:27 PM-->QUOTE(mitradena @ Dec 9 2005, 11:27 PM)<!--QuoteEBegin-->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.

In that case,one would expect " Sindh" to be called "Hind", but it is not, .
I also suspect that ' S' does not always change to an' H' since there are many words in Iranian etc using both the S and the H
There must be another explanation?
and if S changed to H in Sindh, why Hindu in the rest of India?
