<!--emo&:argue--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/argue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='argue.gif' /><!--endemo--> I don't know much about the origin of the word "'India'"except for the following:
1. Perhaps closer to Indian tribes in America as was thought by Columbus
2. or could be related to Indus valley and civilisation which now is part of Pakistan.
Here the tale begins to name <span style='color:green'><span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'>India as Hindustan</span></span>.
1.Think of it, Madras state named as Tamil Nadu and Madras city as Chennai.
2. Bombay named as Mumbai
3. Bangalore as Bangaluru
and so on.
